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.

:welcome: and to the hobby. Hopefully you'll like it.

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!

Great advice here... and buying in threes is a good way to start as opposed to jumping into a box... which is where it will eventually head.

Only different pov I'd add is that if you don't like the first two and have one more... there is probably someone out there who would like it! Half the fun in cigars (or actually well more than half) is sharing with other people and trying new cigars!
