The Cusano 18 and Paired Maduro really stand out from the rest of
their line. Most of their cigars have a flavor profile I really don't
care for myself, but I really like 18 and the PM.


He like the Mild-Medium through Medium range (so far...)

* Victor Sinclair

* Astral Aged Ecuadorian

* Leon Jimenes

I really like the Leon Jimenes. Lot's of vanilla character to them. If
you like them, you might also like the standard La Aurora line, too.
Same people.


Yes, no, maybe?

I've not been impressed by the Pepin Garcia's I've had, so am not inclined
to send him those.

If he's just starting out, they might be too strong for him anyway.


I bought a 75 stick humidor for an early birthday (May 8th) present, so now
I want to fill it before I ship it to him (cigar season in Rapid City is
still a couple months off). He has a 20 stick Gurkha humidor, but that was
only to see how he would take to cigars....he's HOOKED)

Muuah hahahahah! Good work! ;-)


Suggestions?

La Aurora
Don Tomas Clasico
Rocky Patel 1992
Fonseca
Montecristo (regular and/or White Label)



Thanks!
