New to cigars...

[MKitt-man]

Hi all! This sounds like a fun hobby! It was suggested that I try a Macanudo to start with; do you all agree?

 

[Big Cle]

Start where every you like. Who knows you might think thats the best thing since sliced bread, lol. Wecome to the site.

:welcome: Yea, the best advise is to listen to all the knowledgeable brothers on this site and start experimenting on your own... You will never know what you like until you try it! Good luck with all this new found knowledge available at your fingertips...

You gotta start somewhere... just make sure to try as many as possible when first starting out so you get an idea of what you like. Welcome to BOTL!

What he said!


However, I do recommend that you keep track of the cigars that you're going to smoke in some way. That way you'll remember which ones you liked and which ones you hated.

Also, something you may want to try out, I have what I call the rule of three.
Basically, if I'm trying or buying a cigar I've never had before I usually do it in threes. Whether I like or hate the first cigar, I always smoke the second one to see if my initial opinion still holds true. If the second cigar causes me to be undecided then I use the third as a tie breaker. If I liked the first two cigars then I have a spare stick that I know I like. If I hated the first two then I have a cigar to give to some one I don't like! :headroll:

Just my opinion and suggestions!

This is very good advice. Try out lots of different sticks, and see what you like!

Welcome to our part of the cigar world. When I started smoking back in 2005 I walked into a local brick and mortar (B&M) not knowing anything. I was directed towards Cusano and some others along the mil to medium profile. Try many things, take notes, see what you like and don't. Go from there. Hang out here and you will get good advise from all the brothers.

 

[GoingPostal]

Yeah Variety is the spice of life, and do take notes on what you like and don't like. Nothing worse of remembering a great smoke but totally not being able to recall what it was.
