Hello All,
I've finally decided to man up and stop being a creeper on this forum and finally introduce myself. My name is Nick and I'm 26 years old. I live in Northern/Central Jersey and had a few cigars last year, but have actually gotten into them earlier this year. I've smoked a little less than 20 cigars (I know I'm a serious newbie) and although I enjoy the act of smoking the cigar, I'm still having a lot of trouble actually tasting anything other than burning tobacco. I've read from a lot of you here that I need to keep smoking to develop my palate and have actually tried a few of the more popular ones you all continue to discuss, but seem to miss out on all the wonderful joy and taste that everyone else seems to rave about. I'm hoping that you could all offer some tips and assistance in my journey, as I look forward to taking it with all of you. I currently have a tupperdor with about 20ish sticks in it at about 65-66rh, but am getting a new hygro to make sure I'm really at this thing because even after calibrating my Walmart one I don't trust it (reading 4 percent high) and am not sure if my sticks are too dry/too wet even though I haven't really had any draw/burn issues. Pretty sure this is way too long of an intro but it's long overdue as I've been creeping on the forum for the past 3.5 months. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you all soon!
