I am looking for recommendations for what would should be my first CC experience.

hard to say mr bill it depends on what type of cigar you prefer, mild flavor, or medium , or strong. cuban cigars come in all forms shapes and sizes. kind of like women

damn good answer.

I seem to like one step below full flavor. I like the larger ring gauges (they seem to have the most smoke). I do not like the peppery or spicy flavors.

you sound like a montechristo no2 or edmundo guy to me

glad to help mr bill maybe a rj short churchill is your speed or a rj #3 they are both short smokes and neither is over powering. any way good luck and welcome aboard

A Punch Churchill should set you right...

definitely go for the Monte #2....you can't go wrong with that one.

keep us posted on what you choose and how it goes.

I suggest the following lad:

Diplo #2 (Creamy, rich woody tones)

Cuaba &/or Cohiba Siglo II (Grassy/herbal/cedary notes)

enjoy!

I had a Montecristo #2 as my first CC last weekend. It was a great cigar with wonderful flavor nice construction. I'd highly recommend it to you.

Good luck!

Great, thanks everyone

Partagas Lusitania hands down IMO
