Do you guys think it would be a waste for me to purchase a rare smoke being new to the cigar world. My local tobacconist told me that he has some rare smokes that he doesn't leave out in the open. He then showed me some Padron Anniversary and some Opus X and he mentioned a few more. Should I wait until I'm more attuned to the subtleties of cigars before buying some of these??
IMHO, if you have an opportunity to pick up some Padron annys....and you can afford them.....buy them. My fav is the PAM Exclusivo. I found these pretty early on in my smoking and had no trouble telling they were fantastic.

As far as Opus X goes.......can't hurt to try one or two. Until you get more familiar with them, and understand that they are subject to gouging and profiteers, I would suggest only buying/trading for them with people you trust on the boards. You will get them very close to MSRP that way so it won't hurt as bad if you think they suck.

For all the above, YMMV.
