I normally smoke RyJ Vintage Vs. I've tried a number of other sticks of pretty much every label and always come back to the Vinatge Vs. I'll be in Europe next week; which Cuban would be worth exploring given my somewhat pedestrian palate?

For consistency, flavor, & reasonable price, my recommendation would be Montecristo #4....The #2 Torpedos are wonderful, but have been inconsistent lately.

If you find that too mild...head straight for a Bolivar Belicoso Finos or Bolivar Petite Corona....can't go wrong with any of those if you're just getting your feet wet....but remember, this is just my opinion.....I take no responsibility if you come back and all the cigars in your humidor taste like dog-rockets.
Enjoy

Consistency is important to me -- one reason I love the Vintage Vs; VERY consistent. Having two small rugrats, I don't always get to devote the time to a good smoke, so I'm reluctant to light up anything I don't want to finish.

The Vs have excellent draw, wonderful taste and mild to moderate body. I've tried Cusano double 18s and like them, but find the RJs to have more character in their taste.

IMHO, Monte #2 or a Partaga Serie E. I bought a Partaga in Canada recently, I thought it was very good.
