im completely noob to the cigar game lol
any other online vendors you can recommend? I like to have options so when it's time to restock I can try different blends from different companies.
I am fairly new also but the websites I have found and like:
famous-smoke.com. and the monster link from their site is great for sales and free shipping.
cigarsdaily.com has great prices and promos.
holts.com has great selections, sales and promos.
Most websites will also give military and first responder discount.
A little about cigars.
The dark maduro wrappers are a darker leaf because they have been fermented and aged longer, breaking down the ammonia making them mellow and sweet. Does not make them stronger. This is what I prefer.
Sometimes the tobacco on inside has a blend (mix) that will give them a bold (strong flavor), and be strong (nicotine level). I have found that I like that also. Don’t be afraid of “bold, strong” cigars. This does NOT make them harsh and bitter. Good maduro premium cigars has great taste but are very smooth with no harshness or “sharp edges”.
I have found that what most recommend for new cigar smokers ( light color cigars, Connecticut wrappers) are more harsh (ashy tasting) to me, but everyone is different.
My absolute favorite. Perdomo 20th anniversary Maduro in epicure size.
Budget favorite. Perdomo Fresco Maduro torpedo (larger diameter helps draw on these).
