Welcome from CT. This is a great place and if you're like many of us you find that you spend more and more time reading old posts and looking at the new ones.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome messages.

I also find that I enjoy scotch with my cigars. I don't pour a large drink(maybe 1-2oz), but I like to take light sips between every 3-4 puffs. I like the scotch flavor and it seems like it resets my palette so the cigar flavor comes out more on the next puff. I have tasted several $20-35 scotches. My favorite so far is by far is Johnnie Walker Black Label. My old roommate lined up a bunch of liquors for a taste test and I immediately picked out the Black Label. I even preferred it over some of the younger Hennessy cognac he had.

I am currently a student which is why I am trying to limit my budget slightly. I am studying engineering and pharmacy.

Welcome from another newb! You've probably smoked more premium cigars than me by a few. You can check cigar monster for a good deal. I recommend you order something with many different types of cigars. That’s what I'm doing and its fun exploring. I just smoked a Partagas black label Maduro which was fantastic. That cigar might be right up your alley, although the single cost me $6 which sounds like more than you like to spend.

I may have smoked more premiums but I doubt I was able to fully appreciate them. I know I got some of them way too hot. I am mainly looking for something I can have day to day so when I do get a premium, I can enjoy it properly. I will keep that Partagas Maduro in mind for when I feel I am ready for it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes I am doing my best trying to search the forum. I'm getting a better feel now for what terms are used in the cigar world so my searches are more fruitful. For now I figured I would start this thread and keep all of my noobness in one central location. Then if anyone gets annoyed by me they only have to ignore one thread instead of many.
