Another Newb, Still <15 cigars this lifetime

Hello all. Im here from Ohio. Everyone here seems to know their stuff so I figured Id join up and learn some things.

Here is my cigar history from what i can remember
3-5x random cigars that I dont remember
2x Baccarat(these were a bit hot and bitey if i remember correctly. It was one of my first smokes and I think I was just puffing it too hot.)
2x E. Zarzuela (blue and silver ones; Pleasant but not complex enough for my taste)
Vista de Cuba (dont remember much about this one)
3x Padron 3000's? (good flavor but too pricey for me at $5 per
Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Robusto Maduro ( had one of these and felt great afterward)

Im looking for something right now to fill my humidor. I see CigarInternational has 20 Super Fuertes for 29.99 but they have been out of stock for days :(

I know its not much to go on but, any suggestions? I really like a full complex cigar. Mild just doesnt give me any enjoyment.

Welcome from another newb! You've probably smoked more premium cigars than me by a few. You can check cigar monster for a good deal. I recommend you order something with many different types of cigars. That’s what I'm doing and its fun exploring. I just smoked a Partagas black label Maduro which was fantastic. That cigar might be right up your alley, although the single cost me $6 which sounds like more than you like to spend.

Welcome from CT. This is a great place and if you're like many of us you find that you spend more and more time reading old posts and looking at the new ones.

Hello from Central Texas.
Seems a lot of newbies are joining up here including myself.

Welcome from CO

Thanks to everyone for the welcome messages.

I also find that I enjoy scotch with my cigars. I don't pour a large drink(maybe 1-2oz), but I like to take light sips between every 3-4 puffs. I like the scotch flavor and it seems like it resets my palette so the cigar flavor comes out more on the next puff. I have tasted several $20-35 scotches. My favorite so far is by far is Johnnie Walker Black Label. My old roommate lined up a bunch of liquors for a taste test and I immediately picked out the Black Label. I even preferred it over some of the younger Hennessy cognac he had.

I am currently a student which is why I am trying to limit my budget slightly. I am studying engineering and pharmacy.

I may have smoked more premiums but I doubt I was able to fully appreciate them. I know I got some of them way too hot. I am mainly looking for something I can have day to day so when I do get a premium, I can enjoy it properly. I will keep that Partagas Maduro in mind for when I feel I am ready for it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes I am doing my best trying to search the forum. I'm getting a better feel now for what terms are used in the cigar world so my searches are more fruitful. For now I figured I would start this thread and keep all of my noobness in one central location. Then if anyone gets annoyed by me they only have to ignore one thread instead of many.
