I'm kinda new to the world of Fine Cigars. I've tried a few that I've picked more or less at random from the Humidor at the local Smoke Shop. Some i've really enjoyed (such as the arturo fuente chateau fuente king b, Perdomo Champagne or the dominican cohiba) and some not so much (kahlua)

I guess i'm looking for some guidance on what to try next. Preferably cigars that are readily available and under $15 a stick.

Thanks Much!!!

I would try things from the Padron lines, the Fuente (Don Carlos and Hemingway lines), Pepin cigars (Pepin blue, Tatuaje), Oliva Series V. All nice cigars.

Well, IMO, You can't go wrong with just about any Tatuaje. Red, Brown, Reserva, they're all great! Start there!

and welcome to BOTL

try as much as you can! You'll then notice you may prefer cigars of certain strengths or wrappers. After that you can begin narrowing your search (and the board will be better equipped to help you). Right now just enjoy the scatter shot approach!

Yep, and find a local shop get to know the sales person and ask for a sampler of mild to strong cigars. Keep track of which you like and don't like and start building on them. I can tell you what I like but as of now you migth not like what I smoke. Just keep trying new ciagrs. and Enjoy!

Make some notes or a list of what you have smoked and liked and keep that as a reference. I have found that to be very helpful. The Fuente short story is a good smoke if you have limited time.

it seems like you tend to like the milder smokes. try ashton.

if you want something a bit different try the oliva serie O. the cigars you listed are all natural wrappers. maduro is a different ball game.

ill second the Oliva Serie V lancero. thats one of my go to cigars right now.
