I had a fairely short cigar with a funky colorful blue like logo on it. So many people had walked by and said how good that cigar smelt, I wish I knew what it was. I would like to order a box of them.

Sounds like an Acid cigar.

I personally hate them, and I think many "true" cigar smokers do as well but to each their own. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That could be it, but I wanna say it had a logo on it. I will have to give em a try, but man that cigar was good. Too bad I got it as a casino about 7 hours away from my place now.

My friends love Acid Cigars, but I think they are crappy.

Could also be a Helix. I wouldn't recommend buying a box though. They aren't very good. At least they're better than Acids. BLECH!

Acid cigars are flavored, and smell kind of like perfume. If you don't think or can't remember if it had a distinct smell to it, it probably was not an Acid cigar. Try going into a local cigar shop and asking them if they know what you are looking for.

Another possibility is the helix cigar seen here:

For a newish cigar smoker you should just tell the guy you want a good light to medium bodied cigar, this deals with how potetent the taste is. I recommend CAO cameroon wrapped cigars and more or less any Padron.

For good cigars at a good price check out cigarbid.com which is a cigar online auction site.

Fuentes 858's... I love 'em.

It's really a preference thing, just like what makes a "good" drink. "Good" usually means not cheap, however.

Check JRCigars.com, I and many friends have had great experience with them.

They have some great deals, sampler packs, and some descriptions that might help you decide what you are looking for in regards to taste, strength etc.

Even if you dont order it from the site, reading some stuff on there could give you an idea.

I actually went to a JR Cigar store to get the cigars. I got a Don Diego medium flavor, which I really enjoyed, but I just don't know if it was really the type of cigar I was looking for. I never thought about checking the website though, thanks.
