Looking for some recommendations please

So the past year I've been trying cigars and can't seem to find anything to really hook me. A lot of these "new world" cigars I've tried seem to have this sweetness to them that I can't seem to get past. I don't find it too off putting but its not what I'm looking for in a cigar and it seems to be present in a lot of the cigars I've smoked (besides cubans which I dont have regular access to). I've tried different Fuentes, Padron, Caldwell, Oliva, Crowned Heads, Aroma de Cuba, Litto Gomez, Foundation, Espinosa, Punch and probably some more I'm forgetting.

Basically I'm looking for Cedar/woody notes, Leather, Earth, Cream, Baking spices, Coffee and Cocoa. Anything heavy on those would be appreciated. If you have anything like this on hand that you would willing to be sending out for me to sample I have a wide variety of pipe tobacco to trade.

Thank you!

Have you tried Fuente Hemingways? Those are very woody to me.

La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut? Those have the creaminess and spice, with a little bite.

Dunbarton and Plasencia make some very good cigars: you might like the Mi Querida or Umbagog. The Plasencia Alma Fuerte and Alma del Campo are both very good.

I don’t have vast experience with cigars, but these are some that stand out to me.

Aladino Corojo might fit that bill. I would also recommend Tatauje Brown label (Tainos and Havana Cazadores are my favorites, maybe the lancero if you want something lighter).

From a Cuban standpoint, Hoyo de Monterrey and H Upmann would definitely fit the bill.

Try some RoMa Craft CroMagnon- earth, pepper, creamy coffee, dark cocoa.

Really enjoyed all the DTT Mi Querida cigars. I like them 52ga or smaller.

Padron 1964 has more of the chocolate notes if thats what your after. Most Nicaraguan Habano wrappers will give you that cedar chocolate note your after. I smoke around 90 ciagrs a month so i tend to look for the cedar chocolates notes. If i dont have a pipe in the morning i start with an Ecuadorian Connecticut cigar and then move to Habano at lunch time, then a Maduro at night.

Go to cigarpage.com. Best prices I've seen. Look at Rocky Patel Edge and also Platinum. Graycliff Black. For a little more money, Avo Syncro Nicaragua or Avo Syncro Nica Fogata. For more monry yet, you can never go wrong with Passion. Not long ago, they had a special on Oliva Serie V Anniversary, 12 fabulous Cigars for around $100. They run specials daily. I just bought couple hundred dollars worth of the 2 Avo I mentioned for a little less than $5 per stick. Shipping is free.

Cigar bids is how I try different things. You can bid, or buy single sticks on the freefall pricing.
