That’s very wise of you. I was off cigs for like 10 years and for some reason had a cigar. You know the saying, one thing leads to another.

Emaw, no offense intended.

I gave you props for the Oliva Master blends so you know a good smoke.

Stuff like Acid cigars are not my cup of tea. I know a lot of people smoke them.

I've only smoked the CAO V660 Flathead Gordo. Still have 2 left.

What king of flavor profile and strengths does the CAO line have?

Which do you recommend?

The Flathead is one of my favorite CAO lines. I love a good Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The MX2, BX3, Brazilia Gol, and Cameroon are also good. I have a 10 pack of the Cameroon perfectos on the way from CigarPlace for a smaller winter smoke.

How funny you mention Cameroon. One of the big surprise cigars I like is the H Upmann Vintage Cameroon. You never hear it mentioned or talked about but I thought it was easily a Top 5 Upside surprise of all the cigars I smoked.

I will look into the Cameroons you mentioned.

Two cigar brands that many people love but I don't is Gurkha and Perdomo. I was underwhelmed by both, smoking 3-4 in each.

Another that people like but was a horrible smoke for me was the Red Dot Cohiba. Was rolled so tight, flavor was bitter and not a fan.

My Father makes GREAT cigars

La Flor Domenica has great full bodied cigars including the Double Digger Ligero that almost knocked me on my ass.

The Macanudo Inspirado Orange is my favorite by far of their brand.

The Upmann Vameroon is good. Don Carlos is probably the Cameroon all others are judged by (for good reason). For cheaper ones, I like the Nub, Olica Serie G, and Cohiba Red. Definitely not MSRP for the Cohiba... I think they price them around $20 and they're not worth that. You can find them for $3 or $4 per stick on CBid, though. Same with the Cohiba Black. That is another good Connecticut Broadleaf cigar.

I haven't had a good Gurkha yet,. It admittedly I've only tried their lower end stuff. They are another brand that prices way too high. I've heard their higher end stuff is decent, but there are enough other good smokes out there that I'm not too tempted to try them. If you check out r/cigars you can read a ton of reviews on their stuff. My Father is a phenomenal brand. The Judge is awesome.

Interesting, I thought I was the only one underwhelmed by Gurkha. I’ve always had issues with construction, gave them up years ago.

Just got my Cigar International order to help build stock.

(10 box) Oliva Series V Melanio - they were on a HUGE sale
(9 cigars) Altadis Sampler pack - all good and some really top notch ones
(5 pack) Henry Clay War Hawk - great cigar, underrated.
