Hi all,

I've been away for far too long. Still smoking cigars now and then, but for some reason life got busy and, well, I'm left with my Mini about 1/4 full, and some money lying around to buy some smokes.

The help I need stems from the fact that I've been away from the hobby for a while, and don't really know (or remember) what cigars are similar in tastes, strength, etc. I know I should know, but I don't. This is where you all come in.

My favorite smokes are R&J belis, HU#2, anything cohiba...flavors such as these. I don't keep a log so I don't record what tasted like what. But I know what I like. and the size is pretty much either a robo or bigger (usually bigger).

So chime in if you would like. I've got about a grand to spend.

Have at it. I'll be sure to get back into the hobby soon; we just found out that we have another one on the way, to add to our 2 and 4 year old boys.

So life is going to get a bit more exciting come around October.

Thanks all.
Matt

Have a box of RF&J Churchill almost full, and some Coro. And I agree with the post about the R&J Beli's. They are great.
