I've been smoking for about a year now and have mostly enjoyed medium bodied sticks. My "goto" cigars are H Upmann Vintage Cameroon, and Romeo y Julieta Havana Reserve both Coronas.
I'm looking for something a bit stronger, and a bit more complex. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance C T

High end: Tatuaje, Epernay, Cruzado, Illusione, Padron 64,26, My Father by Pepin, alec bradly Tempus,VSG
if you want value just pick any Padron but they are more of a medium.
"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points." -Don Pepin Garcia
" . i put two boxes of cigars on the window sill and voila, the cigars became, well, "plump" within a few days. so far the plump damp cigars smoke "better" than the cool dry ones "

The Don Pepin Garcia My Father Le Bijou 1922 Toros and Churchills are very full bodied. Great smoke, lots of spice and pepper to start, yet smooth, spiciness stays consistent through the smoke. It's a very rich smoke, complex, and still is not overpowering. Great cigar and worth the money.

Well ask and you shall recieve. I agree with all the posts here.
But heres one thats cheap and got some serious kick to it
Argenese ML3 or the CL3 there both tasty and got some fire power.
Now if none of the suggested cigars that were recommended by botl do it, then here is a trick.
Grab one of the cigars suggested from these posts sit in your car/truck with the window slightly cracked for air flow and smoke away, that will put hair on your chest.

Thank you all for the recommendations. I ran out and pick up a few different ones. I had a LFD Double Ligero last night. MAN! They need to put warning labels on those, and I don't mean health warnings. It's going to take awhile to get used to those things.
Not that I'm complaining, far from it. First impression, far more spicy than my usual smokes. I think I'm in love. Thanks Bros.

If you liked this, then also try the LFD DL-700 size (in natural, not maduro), which is 6 1/2" x 60). Get a full box, smoke one every day (but after a meal) and you just may realize that this is one great cigar.
Note...the first box isn't easy to get through, but then they are easy and likely to become one of your go-to cigars. They are great.
