I don't know what price range you're looking for but IMHO a Padron Aniversario is about as good a cigar as exists on the planet. Size is up to you, my preference is the torpedo. Another fine choice is Camacho Triple Maduro, maduro binder, maduro filler & maduro wrapper, rolled on the thighs of virgins (I think). I'm somewhat of a newcomer with cigars, about 35 years. I would avoid Opus X, Cohiba (Dominican), Davidoff, all fine cigars, just not worth the price. If I can help, pm me. I need no excuse to talk cigars.
