I recently smoked a RYJ Habana Reserve. To say that I enjoyed it would be an understatement. I'm still to new to this to give a review, but I want to try some more like it, and thought a sampler would be a good idea. Which should I get? And, certainly feel free to suggest some singles I may enjoy.
Thanks in advance.

I rarely smoke anything Altadis anymore, but I did have a RoMEo not too long ago that wasn't bad at all.
But....the HR is different than the rest of the NC RyJ's. IIRC, it has a corojo wrapper, or at least it impersonates one. If you were looking for something similar, I'd steer you towards DPG Blue, Perdomo Habano Corojo, Perdomo Patriarch Corojo, Camacho 10th Ani (can still be had cheap while they're getting closed out everywhere.)
Also try Tatuaje Brown labels - may not be same NC corojo wrapper, but wrapper profile has some similarities that come through (at least to me) and they compare very favorably to any I've listed above.
