New Here

[Chrisb]

Hello folks.
I'm a new guy to this forum aswell new to cigar smoking. I turned 18 not too long ago and had my first every cigar which was a very very pleasant experience.
Just wondering what would be a good new smoker (Dont smoke cig's as i hate the tobbaco taste which make me sound stupid for smoking cigars.) which may be cheap and a nice smoke which has alot of flavour but may not have a strong tobbaco taste?
What do you accompany with a cigar? (Myself i've only tried Coffee which was a very good experience)

Thanks

Welcome from western Oregon.

Where are you and what cigar did you try?

Unlike most cigarettes, most premium cigars are made purely from tobacco. So, it may not be "tobacco" taste you dislike as much as a "cigarette" flavor with all the additives.

[Chrisb]

First cigar was Romeo y Juliet Deluxe No 2, which was really nice and sadly only one i've smoked.
I know this forum is American and there are not really many British cigar forums, I'm from Scotland :)

Ahh i never knew all the additives. Btw Not many cigar stores near here so all i can buy is stuff online, if this counts or matters at all.

Coffee is my preferred drink in the winter with my first cigar of the day.

Your first cigar was a good pick If a shop keeper helped you pick it out then i would trust him on other suggestions.
It may cost more to buy them locally but thats your best bet on finding cigars you like then ordering the ones you like off the net to save some $.

Off hand i would say try a Trinidad or Padron.

[Chrisb]

Nah, i just looked at reviews but its not something i can afford every week sadly :(
I just ordered these as they were cheap very cheap actually http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/guantaname...rs-p-3206.html. Which scares me.

Welcome from New England, young fella. Might I suggest you pair your next cigar with scotch. It's what I do.

Can you legally drink scotch at 18 in Scotland?

[Chrisb]

Yeah, I'm legally to smoke and drink in the United Kingdom.
But everyone in moderation :)
I like a good whisky but not Jack Daniel stuff don't know seems to be the most favoured of whisky but just not my taste. Some local scottish whisky which i have to say is great.
Give a scotch a try. :D

Any nice flavoured cigars which may be a different taste? I just want experience the different extent of cigars you widen my knowledge.

Are you originally from Scotland? Here's a lesson for you: If it's from Scotland it whisky; if it's from any where else it's whiskey.

Unless of course, it's from Kentucky; then it's bourbon.

It's still whiskey and nasty tasting at that.

Welcome!

I thought Savinelli made a good cigar at a decent price. You might give them a try!

[CoventryCat86]

Welcome! Where in Scotland do you hail from?

[Chrisb]

I didn't mean that Jack Daniels is not a whisky it's just not my kind. Many people like it just doesnt take my fancy.
I live in the south west of Scotland the Dumfries and Galloway Region. :D

Certainly, taste is subjective, and everyone has an right to their opinion. However, I would be willing to bet that if you enjoy any type of spirits you would enjoy "Woodford Reserve" either neat or with a couple cubes, paired with your favorite full bodied smoke. Give it a try, hope you enjoy.

In my experience people who like both scotch and bourbon are few and far in between. I do know a few, but not that many.
