    Looking for suggestions

    With our trip through the US coming up I'm working on a shopping list of cigars to make use of some 20% coupons and duty free border crossings. My wineador is nearly empty and I want to restock. Not looking for high end stuff as the money's not there but some great everyday smoke suggestions.

    I like chocolatey, creamy, non peppery cigars. Any suggestions based on that?

    Gurkha Rogues are chocolaty (inho), but may be only online? Of course, Oliva Nub Macchiato is. Infused but nice once in a while. I found Trinidad to be non-spicy and very creamy. And anything in the regular Oliva line (G,O,V or the CT) you can't go wrong with. They're not spicy. I like the Oliva Saison, too. And though discontinued, the Drew Estate Nirvanas are a nice Cameroon, as is the (more expensive) La Aurora Perfecto in Cameroon and still being made. Punch Rare Corojos and Illusione Rothschildes should be up your alley, too.
    Also, never been, but 2Guys Cigars seems a big operation with three shops in NH, and may or may not be along your route to Maine. Have a great trip and let us know what you find!

    Unless you're able to stop in PA at CI or Famous I'd say order online and have them shipped in advance to a hotel you will be at with a hold for you note. Otherwise the B&M prices and taxes will chop your funds down very quickly. 2 Guys is supposed to be big and they always make the claim "tax free NH" on the show but their prices tend to run higher than others. I've only see online prices but I can't think shop prices would be any less. Just my 2 cents if you want to maximize your haul for the funds.

    As to the suggestion - I'd definitely put Le Careme on the list. It's made by Crowned Heads and "is supposed to taste like "chocolate souffle"; the cigar's name itself is a hommage to a 19th-century French chef who became well known for his high cuisine and for popularizing this dessert".
    You can usually find them at a decent price - below MSRP.

    Like my father before me, I will work the land,

    As @TCBSmokes noted the Punch Rare Corojos and Illusione Rothschildes are great smokes. Also give the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne or Montecristo White a try.

    Anything from AJ are pretty chocolatey, but look for the new world in maduro, the monte and la historia from Ernesto Perez.

    First night's hotel is booked so order has been placed. about 80 sticks so the wineador should be in much better condition soon. Now when my wife see's the bill I might not be. But between the discount codes, free shipping and avoiding customs I saved a ton.
