I'm looking for a complex, full flavored cigar with a cocoa finish.  Is there such a thing?

Welcome...

All of the above sticks are among my favorites, and you cannot go wrong with any of them from a quality standpoint.

Of course everyones taste is different, but I think you not be disappointed

Enjoy!

+1

I also found that the Excalibur No. 1 Maduro has a pretty good cocoa taste.

Yeah.  Is it possible for them to make good smokes for $3?

Olivas are a good solid cigar.  I haven't been in a shop in a long time.  But the Puch/Hoyo Rothchild is ALWAYS a good cigar for the money.  On the mild side look at the Private Stock (Davidoff apprentice rolled cigars) line.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I hope those are better than the Romeo Y Julieta Vintage.  Que horrible!
I've only had a few.  The best were some home-made isoms.  Green wrapper.
I bought a sampler of RYJ and Macanudo at J-R.
I stopped by Thompson and the guy there said I should try some wiith Nicaraguan filler instead of Dominican.  He also recommended sticking to maduros.  He recommended a sample pack with some Hoyo, CAO, and something else.  I passed; figured I'd get more info first.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get a box of Oliva Serie O churchills, but that's not in the budget.
Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

Stick to Honduran or NIcaraguan sticks.  Also as much as I'm not a Rocky Patel fan the Sungrown Factory Select bundles are very nice (around $50 per bundle) and the Famous Nicaraguan 3000 line from Famous Cigar are quite good.

I'm just scratching the surface!  I can't believe how much is out there and how much there is to know about them.
