    Yeah I plan on purchasing a wooden humidor later down the road. Right now I just have the Flor Fina 858s in there in there plastic wrap.. which doesn't make much since; wouldn't that keep the humidity out of the cigar?

    Anyways thanks for the responses, I am going to ride over to the newbie sampler thread and see whats going on. And thats precisely why I didn't want to order a sampler online, I was afraid I would get a bunch I wouldn't like. I remember reading the basic price was 50$, I didn't want to spend that much on a sampler.. yet..

    As I said I've only tried one of my 858s and at that, I didn't take near the time to enjoy it. And I don't plan to get rid of them at all.

    The Newbie Sampler should give you a pretty good idea of what cigars you should lean towards regarding the strength (mild, med, full bodied) or what labels to try more of....the vets here will hook you up with a pretty wide selection too...

    I'm still very new to cigars (started around New Years)....I started with RyJ and Punch, then worked my way up to others like Gurkah and Rocky Patel once I got a good feel for what I liked...I'd say to stick to the basics, then use your experience from those to explore some deeper, less-known brands out there....

    Happy Hunting!

    Welcome from West Texas. I enjoy stronger cigars usually, but the 1959s Hex mentioned are outstanding and wanting a medium bodied smoke, that's what I'd reach for.

    No, that's cellophane, not plastic. It "breathes", and allows moisture to pass.

    Welcome from Kansas........hit up the newb sampler thread, if you're looking to spend less than (or around) $50, you can't beat it. Pm the next member up and try to work something out, I'd venture to bet the majority of the sponsors would work with you to get what you wanted. It's all about helping a newbie find their way into this hobby, not making a profit.

    Welcome from South Carolina

    These guys have you pointed in a good direction, and I'll echo the Torano Exodus 1959, they were my first box purchase

    Well I actually got time to sit down and enjoy one of these 858s today after all the crap thats been going on lately. I must say I am really impressed, very smooth and enjoyable. Alot better then the first one I had, not sure if it was just because I was relaxing outside or what.

    Guess I won't have a problem spending more on the newbie sample thread then I though.
