Hello everyone,
after being a cigarette smoker for over 15 years I recently quit smoking and am currently smoke free for over a week. I control my cravings with nicotine lozenge. The thing is I really cannot imagine myself as a non smoker for the rest of my life - especially when I imagine drinking a nice bourbon with friends.
That is actually how I started to research about cigars and it is slowly becoming kind of a hobby for me. I recently bought a five pack of Romeo and Julietas puritos, which I have on me at all times - but didnt smoke one yet. Yesterday I decided to start a small collection of cigars and got myself a small simple humidor. As part of my first collection I bought myself two Cohiba Siglo IV's at a local tabacco store - but i have a feeling that they are fake. There was no seal, just a barcode and the price was $ 8.50. I went to a real cigar store to compare the prices and there the price for one was $ 33. So it is either totally overpriced or the one I got is fake. I attached a picture - what do you think?
Anyway when I was looking for a online community I simply googled for cigar forum and decided to create an account here - since I really loved your name. My goals here are to communicate, get hints on what are nice everyday smokes (I am thinking Montecristo, Cohiba or Romeo y Julietas Clubs or Puritos) and of course I would like to know what should be my first cigar to go along with my favorite whisky for example.
