Neophyte cigar obsesser here. I picked up the hobby as a suppliment to my gun range time since ammo is getting so darned expensive and cigars are cheaper than ammo. Thought this time around I'd join a forum too, my first cigar experiance was with a Cuban Romeo Y Julieta in northern Japan. I didn't know what it was just that it was 1k yen and my buddies were all buying 'em. Not knowing how to smoke a cigar I inhaled the whole time and ended up sick as a dog hehe. learned a few things since then and hope to keep learning.
