    You could probably tell us better than us tell you!

    The only thing I can recommend is make sure you really like the cigars before committing to a box. I usually smoke at least a 5er before going for a box.
    I tend to rotate various Olivas, Short Story madies, and have been considering Nica Rusticas and JdN.

    I saw some KFC boxes going pretty cheap too if you like those.
    My box budget is usually $150 or less.
    Among those I need to try that have caught my attention value wise are Southern Draw Cigars, Sam Leccia Luchadors, and now Asylum (thanks!)

    it would really depend on what you like so far , so it would be difficult to recommend a box for you. I would say definitely consider something that you have smoked before and really liked. Then look around for a deals on boxes of them. The first box can seem like a life long commitment but you can get a box, smoke some and let the remainder rest and come back to them later. If you are just getting started, that is how the slope works and you will soon be looking for more storage.

    I went with something I really liked...Padron 1964 Maduro. That said, they aren't cheap. I'm smoking more cc's these days, but still love the '64.

    I find this to be the funniest thread DEv.

    The "What do I like" thread. HMMMMMM

    Well I think the HMR reserve should be your first box. Wink Wink!

    Good luck on the hunt Brotha'.. Its a LONG trail that needs to be blazed.

    BUT my vote is MOW Puro..... Had 1 last night and it AMAZED me!

    Cheers

    I really enjoy Ave Maria, Man O' War, Diesel Unlimited, and Diesel Grind. All should be able to be found for a reasonable price, and have aged well. If you like the Drew Estate Undercrown that is also a good box. Like many have said here already its hard to tell you what to get not know some of your taste preferences. Let us know what you decide. My first box was a Punisher shorty edition and I loved every cigar of it. I have squirreled away my last one and will burn it this summer. Enjoy.
