New guy from Illinois

[criracer]

Hi everyone.

I am new to cigars, have only been smoking them for about 5 months. I quit smoking cigarettes 8 months ago after 16 years(half my life). I wanted something to do while hanging out on the patio, so here I am.

I have been trying some samplers and picked up a few singles from my local shops. I am really interested in what are some "must try" cigars for newbies and anything else you guys recommend.

Thanks

I really liked an Oliva G Maduro I got from a local shop. I also recently tried a San Cristobal, that was really good.

Hello, hello! The tat 7th reserva and cao la traviata maduro both use a similar broadleaf wrapper to the oliva g maduro.

I definitely want to try a Tat 7th reserva, but haven't gotten any yet. I have had a CAO La Traviata, but still need to try the maduro.

Thanks for the suggestions
