I have a cigar guy here in Temecula. Over the years he has narrowed down what I like. I would buy a few at at time. When we moved to Riverside for a year I bought a humidor so I could buy in bulk and he'd get me fresh boxes of cigars I like.
A humidor makes a tremendous difference. You can get the secret sauce from Amazon if you want -

I only smoke cigars when I'm drinking scotch or playing golf, and I'm too focused on the scotch and my round to give a shit about the cigar I'm smoking.

You cigar guys are all pussies
Tobacco belongs in a pinch between the cheek and gum like the good lord and Walt Garrison intended.

If you ever send me stogies you may need to recommend a decent humidor to me.UW_Doog_Bot said:Humidor or bust. It was a game changer when I got mine.

That's a couple of pics of my humidor. It was custom made as a gift from my wife for my 40th birthday. I don't recall the name of the guy that made it, but I met him through East County Guns in Elma, as he made all their humidors as well.
I use a humidification system (set it and mostly forget it) that I got through Cigar Oasis. It works well and isn't a pain in the ass.
The top pic is my current stock, but I haven't really loaded up for summer yet as the weather has been too hit and miss to get outside often enough.
Here's what I've currently got stocked:
Macanudo Hyde Park, Connecticut Shade, Robusto: Easy smoke, usually consistent
Partagas Black Label, Dark Natural, Toro: A little stronger with good flavor, but can be inconsistent in taste and draw
Camacho American Barrel Aged Robusto: A current favorite. This one surprised me. Consistent, good flavor and easy draw.
Montecristo White, Natural, Churchill: Not really full of flavor, but pleasant and when you wanna look like you're holding a big cigar, this is a good choice.
Arturo Fuente 858, Natural, Corona: Always a fan of Fuentes. This batch has been a little inconsistent in the draw, but still a quality smoke.
Padron 1964 Pyramide, Maduro, Torpedo: Padron are my favorites, but you pay for it as well. This is a bit of a novelty design, but it looks cool and the taste is outstanding.
Tatuaje Havana IV, Natural, Robusto: These are ok, but kinda disappointing. Just really inconsistent in draw and in taste.
Arturo Fuente Sun Grown Belicoso, Natural: Again, a good Fuente. Easy draw with good taste.
Oliva Cain 660, Maduro, Toro: My second favorite right now and also affordable. Feels like holding a brick with a smooth draw and solid flavor. Underrated.
Nub Cappuccino, Natural, Rothschild: Short and sweet with a coffee flavor. Not a daily smoke, but something to have when you don't have much time and want something different tasting.
Java: I have a variety of these. They have some with a hint of mint, or coffee, or chocolate. Mostly for guys (and the occasional female) that want something that "tastes good". Good to keep on hand.
Oliva Connecticut Reserve: Easy smoke, not harsh. Most of Oliva's stuff is good. These have a consistent draw, but aren't overly flavorful.
The bottom pic is from a couple of years ago.
I really enjoy trying lots of different stuff and that really helps me define what I like. I've found some high-end stuff to be just okay and I've found some low-end stuff that I thought was pretty good.
A myth you need to avoid: Dark wrapper = strong taste. Not always true. My current stock notwithstanding, I lean toward a Maduro wrapper most of the time. Don't be afraid of a dark cigar.
