Hello. I am curious as to what the forum members would suggest I try next. I recently sampled an AVO classic #2 and was a bit underwhelmed. It was good but unexciting. Then I tried a MyFather le bijou 1922 petite robusto and was a tad overwhelmed. Again it was good but full flavored and rich, So what do you all feel might be in between these two specimens?

I would try a Headly Grange from Crowned Heads, el centruian by my father, and an undercrown by drew estates

These are all good choices, I would add the Flor de las Antillas to the list. Welcome to the forum!

Thank you all for your sugestions. I am asuming that theses cigars would fall somewhere in between those I mentioned, as far as flavor and intesity. I actually have a few of these suggestions in stock, the A.F. hemingway and Oliva V, so that is what I will sample next. Than kyou all again for your advice

The Oliva V is a power house smoke. Transitioning from an AVO classic to an Oliva V may take some getting used to.

Oliva V is one of my top 3 smokes always. I keep a few hidden from my wife because she is the same way. If i did not hide them I would never get to enjoy one.

Exactly. The Oliva V may be even more powerful than the MF Le Bijou that overwhelmed you. I'd probably recommend the Oliva O or Oliva G if you're an Oliva fan. The 5 Vegas Classic, AVO Domaine, or Davidoff 3x3 might be more up your alley.

Ok, so the oliva V is a power house. good to know. I assumed I would like dark cigars and the MF le Bij is not all that dark, neither is the Oliva V. I have also a 5 vegas classic, not sure what shade it is because its got a cedar sleeve on it. I went nuts (by my cheapoid standards) buying cigar samplers that I assumed I would share with my friends whan my wife had our baby. I found out I don't really have all that many freinds and less who would smoke a cigar with me. Its just as well though, cause I want to smoke them all myself anyway. Thank you all again for your advice and suggestions. Good times

A lot of people think that the darker the wrapper the stronger the cigar but definitely not always the case. With the V it has Ligero tobacco in it which is a very strong and powerful type of tobacco. There are so many different factors with a Cigar though because you have all the various parts between the filler, binders and wrappers. Two cigars with the same wrapper may be on completely opposite ends of the spectrum strength wise because of different filler and binders. Hopefully with all the suggestions you'll start to find what you really like though.
