Hi Folks,
I was putting an order together last night and put a few in the cart that I know I like so far, but hit a wall on new ones to try. I was wondering what some of you guys would suggest based on the few I have found I really like as well as what I am looking for?

I know there are some sticks that people will say stay away from at first and work yourself up to them, if just starting due to strength (but to me it seems like they are referring to someone who has never smoked anything before) I was a heavy cigarette smoker for nearly 30 years and have moved onto pipe smoking for almost 2 yrs now, so nic strength is not an issue. Plus I smoke some vitamin N heavy tobacco blends almost daily. I just need to ween myself off these last 4-5 cigarettes a day and I will finally have that monkey off my back.

Anyhow, got a bit sidetracked, sorry about that.
Here are some cigars that I really like so far:
Padron: 2000 Natural
Padron: 2000 Maduro
My Father: Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto
Oliva: Serie G Cameroon Special G
Oliva: Serie G Maduro Special G
Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe

I have been keeping a "journal" like I did when I started smoking pipes, on what I have smoked, how I liked it, the flavor profile I get from it, etc...

I really like rich flavors in about anything I do. But I am not opposed to a simple one dimensional smoke, that is a good all day any day smoke. Sort of the "Carter Hall" of the cigar world.

As far as price range, I am looking for something in the $5 and under range and a few suggestions in the $10 and under (if your suggesting singles). Remember I am trying to wrap my head around the different tobaccos, sizes, and everything else right now. Once I get my bearings and start seeing where my palette takes me I can start zeroing in on some higher priced sticks. I would think samplers are a great place to start, and there are a lot to choose from over on Famous, I just don't know which ones would be best.

Hope this isn't the ramblings of a ignorant newbie!

And thanks in advance for any help!

Almost forgot, what is the best Boveda pack to use? I have been using 72% and the cigars seem to be doing well, but is there an advantage to using a lower one like 65% or 69%, or higher? Currently I am using a tupperdor if that matters.

Again, thanks for any help.
