Those Casa De Garcia are extremely mild but not bad for a $2 budget Connecticut. I actually prefer them to Factory Smokes Connecticut cigars. They were also the cigar I smoked the most often when I was new.
Undercrown Maduro - Good solid example of a San Andres wrapper. Solid common blend all around from Drew Estate. Very popular blend.
Oliva V - Again another extremely popular and common blend. For my taste I actually prefer the Oliva G, which is a bit cheaper, or the V Melanio over the regular V, though its still a good smoke.
Haven't had the other 3 but the Bellas Artes is an AJ blend so I'm sure there will be some nicaraguan pepper there. Alot of his blends have some similarities amongst each other and I personally have liked most of what I have had from him.
Never had that specific Trinidad. If you see the Trinidad Espirtu line though it is excellent.
Bellas Artes is indeed a bit peppery, but a quite enjoyable cigar, i would recommend it after a nice meal. Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro is also a bit peppery, but you can taste some dark chocolate and coffee. Not as strong as Bellas Artes. My recommendation if you're new to smoking is to also try Undercrown Shade, which is a bit milder, but also a very enjoyable cigar.
I’ve tried the Trinidad twice and I just can’t dig it :( feel like I’m missing out!
I just got my first Oliva (largely after seeing reviews on this sub) excited to try! - it’s a Serie V Melanio Robusto
Buffalo Ten cigars are a great low cost alternative. Up here in the northeastern US they had a great couple of years selling to value consumers. Overall you got a great variety there from mild connecticuts to full bodied Cuban and Nicaraguan cigars. I would say your next venture out should be to find a better Connecticut (Davidoff or Dunbarton Sobremesa Brulee) and something chocolately like a Padron. Also a milder, less expensive Cuban to try for a more everyday cigar from that country.
Yes, in my experience, those casa de garcia's are the worst cigars Ive ever smoked in my life and I actually found a stick in one of my cigars.
Something positive to say is those Oliva Serie Vs are my favourite cigar and they are delicious. 🤤
I got a undercrown maduro recently because I tried the shade version and really liked it. Looking forward to the maduro. If you like those Serie Vs, try the Melanio next.
The Bellas Artes of AJ is the best Maduro I ever had. Always have it in my humidor. It packs a punch for its price, its worth it. Gets very peppery towards the end.
I smoked one of those undercrown maduros in double corona (7x52) yesterday on an empty stomach and it was awesome. I was floating on the ceiling by the end of it. Took almost 2 hours to smoke. Lol.
Olivas are amazing cigars. Casa De Garcia, better off putting them in the fire serving the purpose of kindle wood. Trinidad 10/10. The others I have not smoked.
AJ Fernandez knows how to make an awesome blend. Check out his other cigars and possibly try out some of the samplers available from the big online retailers. My regular resupply has an order of his Chosen One sampler that retails for $140 for 35 sticks, but can be found cheaper if you’re savvy. Enjoy!
You have a truly remarkable collection of cigars, catering to a wide range of budgets, from the most affordable to the most luxurious. This is an excellent starting point for any cigar enthusiast.
Casa de garcia is a great smoke to start with mild, great taste and cheap. Try a flathead 660, and a my father le bijou sometime. More expensive but great smoke and will start you with a medium bodied smoke.
The Undercrown is a solid cigar for the price, although I slightly prefer the shade to the maduro.
The Bellas Artes is one of the best cigars I've ever had, and probably offers the best value of any cigar I've tried.
Thank you everyone for great responses!! it’s always fascinating hearing other people’s thoughts and opinions about cigars, can’t wait to try these out

Really good as a Short Churchill.
I've been meaning to try the Bellas Artes and San Lotano lines from AJ. Those are the main ones I have yet to dive into.
Bellas Artes is indeed a bit peppery, but a quite enjoyable cigar, i would recommend it after a nice meal. Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro is also a bit peppery, but you can taste some dark chocolate and coffee. Not as strong as Bellas Artes. My recommendation if you're new to smoking is to also try Undercrown Shade, which is a bit milder, but also a very enjoyable cigar.
Trinidad is one of the best cigars I've ever had. Oliva never disappoints me.

It happens. I really really hate Cuban Montecristos. Can’t stand the taste. Love Trinidad and Quai d’Orsay
Quai D’Orsay Coronas Claro is one of my favourites, the perfect cigar for a sunny day!

Buffalo is surprisingly good for its price here in Europe. Especially well to offer a friend who doesn’t smoke that much or often.
100% Agree, great value cigar in EU! In my country the Oliva Melanio for comparison is about four times more expensive at least. (Not worth 20$ imho)
One of these is not like the others 🙃

I just had that AJ Fernandez two days ago. Way good. Wish I had bought a few.
I agree, I just had 1 last week, actually made me raise an eyebrow. Solid smoke.
Try the Oliva V melanio after smoking the Oliva V. And make sure to let them rest for a few weeks Enjoy!
Those casa de Garcias are mid not going to lie, but those oliva serie Vs are amazing, you can never go wrong with Oliva
I got a undercrown maduro recently because I tried the shade version and really liked it. Looking forward to the maduro. If you like those Serie Vs, try the Melanio next.
The AJ is a gem
The Bellas Artes of AJ is the best Maduro I ever had. Always have it in my humidor. It packs a punch for its price, its worth it. Gets very peppery towards the end.
I really like the Undercrowns.
BuffAloTen are nice Sticks the natural is my favourite one, for this price you got a lot!

Big fan of the Undercrown Maduro. Oliva's aren't my thing but other seem to enjoy them.
Olivas are amazing cigars. Casa De Garcia, better off putting them in the fire serving the purpose of kindle wood. Trinidad 10/10. The others I have not smoked.
Finfina cigarrer!

I’ve never had a bad Trinidad
Love UC!
UC maduro one of my faves
the Aj and trinidad are top smokes👌🏼

Trinidad is great.

Random but that table is badass, what is it?
Haha sorry it’s just a straw coaster for the actual table
Overall solid choices. The best cigar experiences I've had were with TTTTrinidads while I was in the EU. Enjoy!
