Not terribly long ago we received a voicemail entry from Dave Hanifan in regards to coming up with a Stogie Review sampler for a new cigar smoker as well as an intermediate smoker. During the recording of Episode 25 we didn’t do such a great job of answering the question as it was asked, and we rambled off several cigars that a new and intermediate smoker might enjoy.
The purpose of this article is to answer Dave’s question the way it was asked, and to possibly come up with a small list of cigars that a smoker with a few months under their belt might enjoy. The idea was to come up with a quality list of cigars that could be picked up a local cigar shop and purchased at their leisure. The Sampler is made up of 2 of each cigar listed for a total of 12 cigars.

Following Dave’s guidelines, what 12 cigars would you put together to make up your “Intermediate Smoker Sampler”?
Thanks for the list Walt. I think Dave will have to come up with new challenges for The Stogie Review now 😉
Awesome collection of smokes there Walt. Wow, Cameroon, Corojo and Madura, sweet!!
