I have the habit of zeroing in on a cigar that I like and then smoking only those until I'm sick of them. I want to try to break that habit and to try something new this weekend.
Currently I've been enjoying a lot of My Uzi Weighs A Ton by Drew Estate/Subculture Studios, but lately it seems like the construction quality is off (patched wrappers, plugged cigars, caps that try to unravel, and I just had one that I swear was infused with some floral flavor. Ick.) I think it's time to move along.
Anyone here got any good suggestions? I would prefer something that isn't too full-bodied, as I'm kind of a lightweight; though the Uzi's are somewhat stronger than my normal picks. I love maduros, and generally avoid anything smaller than a robusto (double toros are my favorite vitola).

Makers Mark Cigars - HIGHLY recommend. They soak the leaves in Makers Mark whiskey which makes for a very smooth, very tasteful smoke.

I don't really like infused/flavored cigars, but I might be ok with whiskey.

I've never wanted a cigar more than I want that cigar.

I'd love to, but I don't have access to Cuban cigars. I mean, I could get them, but I actually don't want to break the law. Not out of any kind of morality, mind you, it's just that I have found plenty of great cigars within reach that aren't Cuban, so I don't feel the need to. Next time I find myself in Canada I will grab one, though.

I know they sell them in a few of my local liquor stores, most notably in the ones inside Kroger's (I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.) It is definatly worth it to at least try one.

I always bring a bunch back from St. Martin on my yearly trip there. Kids are really good for making sure you don't get stopped at customs.
DHS/CIA etc. Move along, nothing to see here

Cohiba's.
Oh, you're American? Never mind then. Until the US stops its now-pointless Colw War-era economic embargo of Cuba, I guess you're SOL.
