Looking for a few lines

[flipflarnix]

Hey all,
I'm pretty inexperienced with cc's, but I am looking to isolate at least a few go to sticks.  I've maybe smoked 100 cc's in my life.  I haven't had many at all in the last few years, so I don't know whats going on, who's star is in the ascendant, and who's quality has dropped of etc.  I've been pretty underwhelmed with the few I've had lately.  I'm looking to build a small humidor with sticks I REALLY like, and will probably smoke one every couple of weeks or so.  Anyone have suggestions?  Or better yet wanna put together some sticks they're willing to part with?

I'm looking for stuff in the $15 per range, but will go higher for excellence on occasion.

The only real must have, is strength.  I like a really stout stick. Size is not too important, but I usually go for something between a PC and a double robusto.

For reference, the cc i most enjoyed was a box of cohibo robusto's from about 13 yrs ago.  They were freshies, but i loved them.  I also had a box of Monte no 2's that were great.


Sorry, I know these kind of requests can be annoying.  But it has been said that the Ripest are kindest to the raw.  ;)

Cheers!
