welcome from NJ.

I warn you though, its an extremely slippery slope, not that that is a bad thing.

thank you gentlemen, i appreciate the help!

i have started saving my bands, i was thinking about a journal type log to write about each one but then i figured that i didnt have enough experience to write the correct description, basically know exactly the flavors i was tasting. but maybe i can keep like a page each cigar and updates and things like that.

yes im think that my interests thus far have leaned me toward sungrown wrappers with medium body kick, i shall go try this newbie sampler you have recommended!!!

thanks again it is a pleasure "to begin" to share this hobbie with you fellas

ps. lighter wise, i bought a 6 dollar butane and the thing worked for 15 seconds and died, filled it, still wouldnt work. I think im going to buy a Colibri, any other suggestions?

I won't recommend Colibri,
they are very picky on fuel! and really not worth the money, IMHO. I have one that works ok, but I never use it anymore.

Look at Blazer, Xikar and Nibbo lighters. I have a couple Nibbo lighters that work flawlessly with any brand of fuel, and you can find them on ebay for about 8 bucks shipped. I have the "Space 7" dual flame torch. and the "gear" triple flame torch. Believe me, they make short work of lighting a cigar!

Unless its really windy......a Bic is what I use most often. I agree with Dennis, blazer and nibbo are the way to go for torches.
