Trying to settle on a Robusto (actually something closer to 4.5"). I picked up 3 of each of these.... Fuentes Rosada Gran Reserva (a bit mild), Fuente Chateau (natural)...also a bit mild. The ones that I haven't tried yet.... Ashton Aged Maduro #10, and Punch Maduro Cello. I know these will be more on the rich side, but I haven't tried them yet.

The A Fuente's were actually nice, great burn, great draw, perfect length for when I know I won't have time for my Gran Toro favorite....just a tad too mild for me.
 
Back when I smoked frequently, my go to was the Hemingway series by Fuente. Nice, full body without any sour burn.
 
I didn't know you smoked cigars Tim. I had cut way back simply due to time, but kept a stash. I quit the cigarettes so now the cigars are my fix.

Kids.....they take my fun money and time...but I'll still sit on the deck and have a smoke and bourbon every now and then.

I too have cut back on cigars but I do like having a humidor with a couple dozen ready to go.

Love being in the boat having a smoke.

Other than ditching the cigarettes and needing an occasional fix....I love a cigar when on or near the water! That's another thing that got my interest back up.
We recently acquired a lot on a small lake that's great for boating/kayaking/fishing/relaxing. Utilizing the new river access...we can kayak about 7 miles back down to our place.
One of those deals where you can paddle it in 1.5 hours...or take half a day and relax.
 
Oh good Lord! I gave the Punch Cello about 10 minutes before I had to toss it! There's more flavor in a glass of warm water! Probably the worst cigar I've ever tried!
