Is there a "whats next to try" thread. A spot where you can talk about what you wanna try and people can chime In on it. For example. I want to try among many smokes that I've learned about here the Roma craft smokes. They seem pretty interesting a little off the beaten path but they have a few fans here. Any tips on em? Which ones you like and why? I think they will be my next 5er of smokes that I've never had before. But there's a long list of them tho that's just one.

For my personal taste you don't have to ask me "what do you like". Lol I already know I want to try it. I want to know what others feel about the smokes and the different lines and sizes and ill choose one or two to try. Thanks hope that all makes sense and works for others as well.

RomaCraft is next on my list as well as I haven't tried them either. Also on my list are making my way through the rest of the different sizes of Herrera Esteli and Headley Grange.

The RomaCraft intemperance sampler is my next cigar buy when I can actually afford smokes again.

This thread has "bombs from coast to coast" written all over it.

Up next for me is researching the offerings and working my way through Tatuaje and Illusione. I've had a handful from both but I forget what's what and there seems to be a lot of redundancy throughout.

I recently received a freebie from Panacea and it looks awesome. I'm letting it chill for a bit, but if it smokes as good as it looks I'm going to get a larger sampler.

Im honestly wanting to expand my "daily smokes" horizon a bit... lots of inexpensive stuff out there that seems to be getting good to decent reviews... that I'd like to give a whirl..

last year I smoked a lot of diesel and a bunch of 5 Vegas stuff while tooling around in the yard, walking the dog, or just sitting around with non smokers shooting the sh*t...

this year Im on the hunt for something different (4 or 5 good "yard gar" options to load the humi up with for those same types of situations)..

3 out of every 4 sticks I fire up ultimately get smoked while I am busy doing something else during the spring, summer, and early fall months... I dont want to waste a dirty rat, mule kick, PAM, etc.. while pushing a lawn mover or picking up real dog rockets in the yard..

but Ill gladly fire up a 5 Vegas Classic while pulling a trash can through the yard and collecting fecal matter.... seems to make the task a little bit less unpleasant :)

Yeah I was just reading up one Roma's and have to see if there are any local at my B&M's. Also really interested in the Herrera Esteli as well but I haven't seen those around. I may have to step up my on-line shopping.

I am int he same boat as you mdwest and want to find a decent little "daily smoke" and something I could share with some buddies that don't really care about cigars but liek to have one now and again.

There are so many I haven't tried that I get excited when I light up anything in my humidor. Sometimes it's meh and I try not to buy them again. Other time's I am pleasantly surprised. So to answer your question of what's on deck. It would be whatever comes next out of the old humidor. My next few B&M purchases are probably going to be used to level peoples mailboxes with. I will revisit when I go on a buying spree.

Being an Englishman I have been living on a diet of Cuban cigars for the past 15 years but now...really want to try the stuff I see discussed on here. Seems like there is so much to choose from!

Don't know where to start...

I got a great newbie trade package from JavaJunkie and I'm looking forward to trying some new smokes. Next up on the rotation is the Emilio Draig K, Goldie No.2, La Riqueza, CroMagnon Antro, and the Tatuaje Mummy and TTA 2012.

for myself, there is SO much coming out, and mostof it is actuay decent, that i want to try everything eventually, but am not going to kill myself doing it.

Anything from La Palina. Met one of the reps at a local B&M for a Kristoff event. He's trying to get him to carry them, but hasn't sold him on them yet. Rep said that they're some of the best sticks he's ever had.

Really excited to try the new Headley sizes. Some ones that I wanna try when finances comply are Herrara Estelis, still haven't had a CYB (can't wait for the Lancero though) and been wanting to try out more of the Room 101 brand. Good thread dude

This is an awesome thread... but also a little dangerous. It's tough to stay ahead of everything that gets released and also just enjoy the sticks that really stand out to you. It's a little bit of a cat and mouse game at times for me. With that said, I am really excited about the emergence of so many "boutique" brands doing creative and intelligent things with their blends and sizes.

Right now, here is whats on my "cigar radar."

I still haven't got my hands on a L'atelier yet, although I really enjoyed the Surrogates (esp. the Crystal Baller)
Four Kicks Selección No. 5
7-20-4 Londres
Reinado Robusto
262 Paradigm Torpedo
Ortega Wild Bunch

I always recommend the la herencia by AJ Fernandez ...almost tastes to good for a yard gar but definitely a good daily at $3 a stick

Up next for me is researching the offerings and working my way through Tatuaje and Illusione. I've had a handful from both but I forget what's what and there seems to be a lot of redundancy throughout.
I'm with you on the tats never tried em or even paid attention till I joined here. Not sure where to start with them either but I did just get one from a brother. Would be good to get some suggestions and feedback on those too
