Hey fellas, new to the forum but been lurking for awhile. I'm a senior college student lookin for some good cigars. My father in law gave me 10 A Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8 for xmas last year after I had expressed my interest in them. And I have only smoked one since then but didn't really take the time to enjoy it, I found it really bitter... My father in law gave them to me as a gift, because my wife had mentioned I picked up a pack of Swisher Sweets at a local gas station, which I wont EVER do again.

The swisher sweets smelled decent, but the taste of them is TERRIBLE. Almost like an ammonia type draw..? Anyways I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cigars that would compliment the 858 and whether or not its a decent beginner cigar? I did some searching and it seems the Don Kiki's seem like a decent try.. I have a discount smoking shop close to me that has two giant humidors filled with all sorts of types of cigars. Although they don't have any samplers and some of their stuff is usually priced pretty high. I also plan on ordering a sampler from an online store, but wasn't sure which brands I should pick from? Also, can anyone recommend some 'quick' smokes; something that won't take an hour to enjoy/smoke?

I've also made a homemade humidor of a tupperware container with a water pillow in it. But should I remove the plastic wrappers from the cigars that I place in there? Probably a dumb sided question..

I know these threads pop up alot with newbs asking for recommendations, I did my fair share of searching while waiting for a mod to approve my account. Found a wealth of info, just trying to find something that doesn't taste like dog shit (swisher sweets).

Appreciate it.
