Well, after being gone for almost a two years from this wonderful site I find my way back. A lot has happened in the last two years.. so cigars were more luxury then needed even though I missed a great smoke. What brought me back you might ask? Well, I went to a car event in Vegas put on by my car club. I remembered there was a Casa Fuente in Caesars Palace. I went there with a few of my fellow car club members and got a nice signature stick. Man the taste the aroma made me want to wish my humidor was full and not empty! But it will take time to rebuild my collection hopefully I can start it in a few weeks. I was starting to get sad seeing my La Gloria Cubana Limited Edition Series R humidor always empty. Well I hope to start posting back more and getting to know the new community and how its changed.

welcome back. I would recommend

Tatuaje Brown
Padron
Padilla 32 signature
Ashton VSG


"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."

Welcome back Brandon.

I suggest you try some Don Pepin Garcia, Tatuaje, and Illusione cigars. They've been scoring well with critics and forum members in the last few months/years.

Welcome back. Interestingly, you and I share a commonality.

What city have you recently been fortunate to return to, if I may ask?

My recommendation beside what everybody else said is anything in the Don Pepin Garcia line or any Padron 1926 Serie, especially the 40th and 80th anniversary line.

Also the Alec Bradley Tempus Centuria, great smoke, got a 94 rating from CA.

Oh yeah, the Rocky Patel Decade got a 95 rating too and it great also.
