    Welcome to the board.

    I would second the suggestion for the Fuente Short Story. You may also wish to try the Oliva Serie G Special G.
    I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.

    Welcome aboard from MD. I'm not quite sure what a "traditional" cigar is. Do you want to start to with a light to medium body cigar (highly recommended)? Or are you the daring type ready to leap into something that'll blow your socks off?

    Hello from Delaware.
    One of the first cigars I had was a Romeo y Julieta Robusto - average smoke. didn't like it at first but now I'm growing on it. All in different taste I guess.

    Oh boy. What have I done here. I've enjoyed a few of the cigars from my Newbie Sampler. Really giving me a great idea as to what I am looking for. At the moment though, I have Humidor on the mind. I'm not asking for help because this is pretty straight-forward. I thought about a coolidor, but at the moment, I am no where near being able to fill one up. Nope, I am looking at a nice desktop/showpiece humidor. This one:

    Humidor

    Seems like an awesome deal. I don't know if I should trust the site reviews(bias), but the humidor looks good and I have heard some good things here about it. Probably will pull the trigger tonight. Something I am not sure about is the Humidor Solution. Is it needed or will pure distilled water do just as good? Anyways, another problem I have had is cutting my cigars, I don't have a proper cutter so I have had to use a razor. Decent, but next week, I am going to pick up a Palio cutter hopefully. I'm using a Ronson JetLite Lighter, no problems.

    After all of that is set, I will begin to sample more and guide myself to full box purchases and what not. Thanks again everyone.

    Cuban Crafters are great humidors and Palio are great cutters. Ronsons are my everyday lighter.

    Humidor incoming! I went with a smaller 40 count humidor. From the pic, it looks gorgeous:



    Can't wait to get it. I'll shut up now.
