Recommend some favorite sticks!

Fuente Short Story natural is the perfect light-medium smoke; the maduro version is a very good medium-full offering.
As @Nacho Daddy wisely pointed out, milder smokes have a lot of nuance to them without overpowering your tastebuds. It's not like you have to "graduate" into full-bodied sticks or anything (I personally like milder smokes in the morning and full-bodied later in the day or after a meal). For several weeks I've been smoking nothing but strong, earthy smokes and my palate is fried.

For starters go with Fuente. Premium cigar and if you buy by the box its affordable. A lot of the popular and new marketed cigars are overpriced. For non-Cuban there are tons of deals - freebies, samplers etc. Every vendor online has a section for specials that will allow you as a new smoker to try the less expensive cigars that are sale. It doesn't make sense to spend the big bucks yet....find YOUR top cigars then unload the wallet.
Tip- Go Habanos, there aren't any "deals" but the prices are not out of line with other premier NC. Even many low priced options in Habanos portfolio are great smokes

Actually I really like the under crown flavor despite the fact in went out a few times on me (might have been a little too high humidity in B&M I figured since I smoked it the day I bought it). Havent gotten to the brick house yet....

Probably missing a few. But those are my favs haha.
I second the Olivas (anything by Oliva really), and CAO Brazilia. I would say Tatauja as others have, but I would specifically recomend the white lable for a starter. It is excellent and by far the cheapest tat. that I lnow of at least.
What is this fallen angel you speak of?
The Lot 23 is really good from them. Especially with a little bit of rest.
Looks like I have a ton of recommendations to try! Got some crowned heads this week (cosa nica sampler) that Im enjoying...def going to try fuente hemmingway soon as a lot of people seem to recommend those. Thanks guys.
