I want to smoke $50 cigars. Where do I start?
Difficult to say JJ as prices vary by state. For example a cigar that costs you $7 in Philly will cost you $17 in New York City. This is because of the difference tax structures on tobacco.
A better way to answer this is to say you want to smoke high end cigars, where do I start?
That would depend on what type of cigar you're looking for. Are you looking for a mild, medium, or full smoke?
If Mild, I would check out the Ashton Connecticut line, Montecristo White Connecticut, various Cubans like a Partagas Lusitinias.
If Medium go with something like the Padron 1964 Natural line, My Father Le Bijou, most of the upper end of the Rocky Patel line, most of the Fuente Chateau line as well as Fuente Magnum R Rosado.
If Full, any of the Padron 1926 Maduro line, La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero series, Fuente Opus X line, Fuente Anejo series, La Flor Dominicana Andalusian Bull, most of the Cuban Bolivar line but especially the Bolivar Belicosos Finos.
Happy hunting, JJ.
