March 22, 201511 yr I enjoy the Nub line but they are a bit overpriced. I really like Nubs. Full flavor, nice strength in a shorter smoke. Really nice when you don't have a couple of hours to devote to a regular length cigar. They can be overpriced in stores, but I have been able to get good deals on them on Cigar Bid. Nubs are one the brands I always have quite a few of in my humidors.
March 23, 201511 yr Smoked a Rocky Patel Prohibition Broadleaf maduro this weekend with a glass of Woodford on the rocks. Very tasty...highly recommend both.
March 24, 201511 yr I've had a few cigars here and there over the years but I couldn't tell you what they are. What are some good pairing recommendations for someone that hasn't had many cigars before?
March 24, 201511 yr Author I've had a few cigars here and there over the years but I couldn't tell you what they are. What are some good pairing recommendations for someone that hasn't had many cigars before? You can't go wrong with Romeo y Juliet, the best selling cigar in the United States, and at a good price as well. Cohiba Red Dot are very good in my opinion. A little pricier at $19, but very good. Oliva are very good and at a good price. I smoke all these with various upper end bourbons and think they all go well together.

If I could get the 4" Nubs for $5 I'd be giddy but most retail shops are $6 plus.
March 24, 201511 yr Boy I didn't Friday night. Kind of over did it. It didn't help that I only ate one meal all day. Woodford and a My Father Connecticut, robusto. This cigar might become my second go to after the Oliva Connecticut Reserve. You sounded okay, but then again I may have over done it myself...

I will give these a try soon and return with a report!

What are some good pairing recommendations for someone that hasn't had many cigars before? If you like a mild cigar the Vegas 5 Gold is a very nice mild as is Macanudo. Oliva G is one of the best bang for the buck medium body cigars. They also have the Oliva O which is a little more full bodied. And, like Ram said, Romeo y Juliet makes a great product. Always in my humidor.
March 24, 201511 yr Here's a nice little Punch / Herf-a-dor combo I just ran accross. Four quality cigars and a herf for $15. Punch Bassmaster Cigar Kit - Cigars International
March 24, 201511 yr If I could get the 4" Nubs for $5 I'd be giddy but most retail shops are $6 plus. I've gotten 5 packs for around $15 on Cigarbid.com. Pick up a few other things and combine shipping, you'll be at $4 or so per stick. I rarely buy at retail, unless it's something hard to get. Party Source in Bellevue has a great selection, and you can often get rare, higher end stuff cheaper there than online. Of course the mid priced stuff like Nubs, are more expensive there than online.
March 24, 201511 yr If I could get the 4" Nubs for $5 I'd be giddy but most retail shops are $6 plus. Here's two NUB specials for you bother. NUB Top-Ten Sampler - Cigars International Nub 16-Cigar Super-Sampler - Cigars International Go ahead and break into your happy dance.
March 24, 201511 yr You sounded okay, but then again I may have over done it myself... When I stood up, I almost went head first into the sliding glass door. Mrs. S liked of died laughing. I was toasted.
