    Welcome from Canada. BBP has great advice and those are probably good starting points. The best thing you can do is ease your way into cigars and maybe one day you will enjoy the med to strong cigars.

    Thanks for the advice too. I jumped into the strong cigar first and learned my lesson the hard way. It gave me a great story to tell at partys though :)


    Here is another quick question......

    When I try the cheaper cigars ($1.50 each) they leave a bad taste in my mouth and I really do not enjoy them. Is this normal or is it because of a cheap cigar? In other words what I am asking is do my flavored cigars mask the nicotine flavor and when I try the unflavored cigars am I always going to get the "bad taste?"

    I am not trying to bash the cigars I am just curious if the cheapo cigars usually leave the taste where a high-quality cigar does not leave a taste?

    Thanks.
    Scott

    Welcome and nice comeback.

    The answer to your question is; there is no answer. Cigar enjoyment is a journey not a destination.

    At last count there are 6,235,911, different cigars for sale from 56Cts/stick to $56/stick, and each and every one of them is loved by someone, somewhere.

    Smoke lots, smoke often and have fun. There's a great bunch of guys in here to share the journey with.
    In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.

    Take apart a $1.50 cigar you buy in the gas station and see what's inside. I think you'll be shocked. Not exactly one of those handmade cigars you'll get at a tobacconist...

    The key to enjoying a cigar is getting a GOOD cigar - whether it's flavored or not. CAO is a well made cigar. I've been known to enjoy a flavored cigar from time to time (not often, actually - but I have...)

    BTW - If you're liking flavored cigars, try the Drew Estate Java (other than the Waif). I like smokin 'em while drinking a can of Pepsi...

    Welcome from the land of Utah. I got started on flavoureds: Cojimars, Makers' Mark and Kahlua. It did not take me long to start liking Baccarats, Sancho Panza Cabaleros and other mild non-flavoreds a month or so after that. Then it is all down hill buddy. Be prepared to take out a second mortgage and get a huge cooler in a couple months (j/K).
