    Smile Just joined! Introduction and questions

    Hey, what up fellow cigar enthusiasts? My name is Joe and I'm new to the site. It's really cool to be a part of the cigar community, and it helps a lot since I'm new to the cigar world in general. I have a passion for fine tobacco, and it's nice to be able to participate in a place where the plant isn't misunderstood or judged. Anyway, I had a few questions:

    1. Any cigar recommendations for a new smoker? I like a good mild cigar in the morning and a full bodied smoke later in the evening. So far, I've smoked Gran Habanos, Rocky Patels, Punch's, Olivas, Cusanos, Gurkhas, CAO's, Drew Estates, Ashtons, Private Stocks, and Macanudos. My favorites right now are the Rocky Patel Sun Grown, Cusano Corojo 1997, Gran Habano Corojo #5 and the Private Stock line. Any cigars similar that anyone would reccomend?

    2. So far all I have for storage is a big steel thermos. It has two air tight seals and I have a humistat humidifier and a bundle of spanish ceder inside. Is this alright until I work up enough for a nice humidor? If it's a bad idea, any humidor recommendations for a reasonable price?

    Thanks guys, and once again, great to be a part of the site.

    Keep smoking

    Hey man welcome to the forum. First suggestion is to stay away from the Macanudos. Other than that it actually seems like you are off to a good start. I would try Gispert as well, it's a nice mild smoke however it does not have a whole lot of complexity but it is a great cigar for a nice day outside. Give a Montesino a try as well, nice mild smoke. I think you are actually going to be moving up pretty quickly to the medium rang e however so also take a look at some Romeo Y Julieta. There are some many types to choose from man I just say go out and sample a little of it all. Stay AWAY from the Acid line! Also remember if you don't like something right now don't rule out giving it a chance a bit down the road after a little while your palette will begin to change and cigars you thought were too strong or full bodied may be just right.

    Welcome to the forums!

    You listed a couple medium and full cigars, so here are a couple I recommend (mild to medium smokes):

    Camacho Triple Maduro
    Sancho Panza Double Maduro
    5 Vegas Miami, Series "A", and the "AAA"
    Camacho SL&M #2
