First off I would like to say that I have indeed had less than 10 cubans in my life and the reason for asking this overasked question is because I am tempted in dabbling in them to see what I like. Majority of them I smoked were Cohiba Siglo VI, which were good. But while I smoked them I felt like I wanted more, it was lacking strength I think. I tend to smoke alot of different things but a stick I can always count on are the Padron Anniversaries. By using this information, what CCs can you recommend my trying?

If it's strength/full body you're looking for - you can't go wrong with a Boli or Partagas... I recently got some Boli peit coronas and I can't keep my hands off them... RASS are also some of my favories too...
Just some suggestions, I am sure others can chime in as well.

BOLIS!!!

Bolis or bust
I could recommend strong Habanos as well as sticks that I enjoy, but a sampler would fit best so you can gauge for yourself. Another thing is, certain years taste better than others, much more so with CCs, so don't cast out a cigar if you dislike it at first.
In fact, that's part of the beauty of Habanos.

Never actually thought of that. ??? I'll get someone that can provide some CCs in the trade.

Bolivar PC is a great smoke. I've had some from '08 and '09, and they smoked great. Dip. #4 is another favorite of mine, but not quite as smooth as the Boli.

Some love SigVI's, some hate 'em. I think they're way too mild for a Cohiba, and to me they just taste "diluted". The non-Siglo ones are my favs (Lancero, Robusto, Esplendido, etc.).
I have to agree with these guys that you can't go wrong with Bolivar and Partagas in just about any size. If you really crave strength, a real oddball is the Romeo y Julieta Cazadores. Whereas most RyJ's are medium-bodied, the Cazadores are true powerhouse lonsdales! :thumbs:

You can't pick up CC's in the Newbie Sampler Trade. I know... I tried. :blush: :laugh:
CC's seem very inconsistant to me, I haven't had one that was amazing. The RASS and RASC were pretty good but I have only had a couple of each. The Bolivar pc's that I had were pffffttt, one was pretty good, and one was below par. For the price and quality you can't beat it and I keep several in my humidor but I wouldn't go through any trouble trying to get some anymore. With that said I have never had a Cohiba but I have one in my humidor that I haven't fired up yet.

As stated, try samplers. In addition to different brands, also try different sizes. When I smoked NCs, I mostly smoked larger ring gauges (48+), so of course when I rreally started smoking CCs I also went with larger ring gauges. I later found that many times I prefer smaller ring gauge CCs (~43).

Hard to go wrong with any of these!
According to my tastes anyways!

The only CC I think is sort of close to a PAM is the Cohiba Maduro 5 and it's not for me...

Pick a size you like or prefer and then buy some singles of different brands to get a feel for their profiles.

This car has been replaced by a 6 cyl Impala.
Buy a box of BBF and a box of CoRo. Wait a month and buy a box of RASS and a box of RyJ short Churchills...
