    The initial harshness almost sounds like a lighting problem from my limited experience... You may try reading a bit about how to light a cigar; I know it took me quite a number of tries before my first puff wasn't harsh.

    Personal question about lighting (seems pertinent to the thread) When I was reading about lighting some people said that it was okay to have one exhale before you start smoking; but they were very adamant that there should only ever be one exhale unless you're purging the cigar. Why is this?

    Also, is there a particular way to hold the cigar when purging? I know that you exhale through the cigar until the flame gets back to a nice yellow/blue mix, but how close should the flame be?

    I would also recommend an Oliva Serie G Figurado to try something from Oliva; I've heard they're great for newer smokers, and you can really taste the difference as the cigar burns, and they only run about 5$ for a single from a B&M.

    Welcome from BC.
    Give the G's another chance they are one of my favs. Special G is on top of that list.

    This is a great go to stick when you need a quick and cheap smoke.

    I've probably run into a similar problem with a few Series G Maduros i've smoked, but the overall quality and value, its always easy for me to grab this stick and a local B&M.

    Have to say I agree. BTW, Welcome to the board from Kansas.
