Welcome from Ottawa, Canada!

You don't have to commit - a lot of cigar smokers like the variety and trying new sticks all the time. Most are like Roham above - a few favourites, but wanting to try others.

Myself, for med-full maduro - at a reasonable price - I smoke Padron's regular series. Too many inexpensive maduros are artificially made - even to the point of painting the wrapper - and I hate that.

edit: Oh yeah, there's a GREAT newbie sampler trade here. Try it, you won't regret it!

I guess if it was do or die I could buy a box of Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro or Gurkha Ghengis Khan, bÙt I don't think you can buy it by the chest anymore?

Welcome from CO. I've found that there are a few cigars that are my "go to" cigars if I want a smoke I know that I'll enjoy. However, I think part of the fun is trying new cigars. Good luck with your search!

I think one of BEST things that you can get out of the forums is trades/PIFs/passes. I commited to more boxes than I should have and after coming to the forum I decided to mix up my variety by trading with fellow BOTLs who would probably enjoy your smokes just as much as the ones he passes to you. It's a beautiful thing

Nah the best thing you can get out of the board is the friendship and camraderie with people of like interests. It's the generosity these fellows will how you that you would never believe existed before. It's something a lot cooler than just cigars.

BTW welcome to the board visual.
