Something New...

[smokinafuente]

Just enjoy.

Don't worry about etiquette or technique. Over time, you'll develop your own that works for you.

Stay the hell away from the Cigar Forums! Ignorance is bliss and you'll be happy smoking your Macanudos and Thompson's cigars!

Seriously, sign up on the forums, do a newbie sampler, and move on over to the darkside as quickly as possible. And like Newt said, Kiss your ass good buy!:lol:

Never take others reviews to heart when deciding on whether you would enjoy a particular cigar or not. Everyone has different tastes and your opinion of one cigar could differ completely from someone else.

Stay away from Pulse

This is good advice too.:smt098

Go to a herf, and learn what real cigars taste like.

Go to a herf, and learn what real cigars taste like.

Speaking from experience here Sam? I smoked my first 'real' cigar at a herf as well.

 

[smokem94]

My advice would be to join this forum and get to know the guys and take their advice. It is sure working for me!

Absolutely!

Don't be afraid to (or attempt to resist) make the move to ISOMs.

Don't be afraid to (or atempt to resist) spend real money on cigars.

Get a tupperdor/coolerdor and some beads and get ready to enjoy life more.

 

[Girardian]

Oh yes ... and smoke 'em if you got 'em. There's always more (or something different that's really great) where they came from.

C-Bid is evil.

 

[solomr2]

Don't put the lit end in your mouth.
Never inhale.
65 or 70% RH is a general rule, not an absolute and precise reference value - RELAX!
Life's too short to waste on shitty cigars.
Taste is a personal thing and differs from person to person.
Smoke what you like, like what you smoke/

Sign up for as many credit cards as you can.

Hide the statments from your wife

 

[The Prince]

Most torch lighter do suck.
Don't buy cigars from Canada, nor England.

 

[havanaphile]

If you are going to try Cubans, please do the following:

Avoid Canada, Japan, and Britain, unless you own a private jet.
Avoid Jamacia, the Antillies (except Cuba), Costa Rica, Mexico, and Nicaragura unless you want to buy fakes that taste like musty tobacco.
Avoid the Bolivar brand for a while, otherwise you'll blow your head off!
Try out the HdM, Quintero, Juan Lopez, Raphael Gonzolez, and Quai d'Orsay brands first. They aren't too harsh, or strong.

 

[allanf]

Hphile, explain the Bolivar statement...are the new ones no good? or does that mean they are really strong?

 

[havanaphile]

What I mean, is that for those new to cigars, Bolivars (outside of the RC) can be way too strong.
