Talk to your local shop. They can usually make recommendations based on your tastes. I frequent three local shops that carry popular inventories but each one also carries brands that the others don't. You'll eventually find a few that will be favorites then they can help to recommend something "different" but within your taste.

Welcome to The Humidor!
Nice place to land for your first post. Rule #1.....do not fall for FRIGID's goat...he is a heartless bastard that never calls...OK, enough of that. You need to find a B&M and sample, sample, sample! Once you try a few (more than your RyJ) and then stop back. With a few more likes/dislikes, we will be better prepared to lead you down the path. If you can find Crosfire, give them a try...as well as MUWAT Baitfish and Benchmades. These are not your typical VSG, Mi Amour or DSG. You can't go wrong with a Padron...#2 and #5 are my first grab boxes. Camacho for a stronger smoke. There will be other to help you along as well. Have fun and stop on back soon! Echo |

I agree, sample, sample, sample. go to cigar monster.com. it makes sampling easy, 5 at a time. I was told to always at least buy 2 of a new to you stick. One may not taste right but the next one will be awesome. Keep pics on you phone of ones you like, for easy reference. If someone finds an app that works on android let me know.

A couple of good ones to start: San Cristobal: Revelation Prophet Crowned heads: Four Kicks La Aroma De Cuba: Mi Amor My Father: Connecticut Corona Gorda Oliva Serie O (or "G" for a light smoke) Not saying they are exactly like the RyJ, but similar. Also, try the RyJ Habana Reserve Churchill and maybe pick up a Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee. I have greatly enjoyed all of these. Only been seriously smoking for about four months, so others palates/recommendations might be worth listening too!
