    Default Greetings from Eastern Washington State!

    Hello there,

    I have only recently discovered the joy of cigars, but I can say they are far tastier than cigarettes. I'm actually using cigars to ween myself off the smokes, as cigarettes, for the most part, taste like ass!
    Mind you, I have been treating myself to good things in the cigar world: last night it was a Romeo y Julietta Maduro Reserve, and this evening it was a Macanudo Portofino and a Cohiba. My humidor has some nice choices in it as well (I'm dying to try the Macanudo Maduro and the 1997 Vintage Macanudo.)

    So I admit, I have a lot to learn, and hope to get involved in some passes sometime here in the future. I would love to find some other Eastern Washingtonians to have a herf with, but I am the only cigar smoker I know if this area. Hopefully, that will change here in short order!

    Nice to meet you all, and I hope to get to know you all a little better over time.
    Best,
    Christopher

    I've been questing for the Padrons at a couple of cigar stores around here, but haven't seen any. Lots of Punch, Cohiba, Macanudos, but no Padrons.

    Thanks for the suggestion cigarsarge. Going to have to track one of those down!

    Welcome from AZ - my sister is going to school at WSU. Take cigarsarge's advice - I highly recommend the Newbie Sampler... and if you hurry you might be able to buy Kevin some cigars (he just posted a "by me these" thread - great way to get some nice sticks from a VERY generous member here.

    ETA:

    Well, decided to follow local advice ("When in Rome..."), and kevin7 will be enjoying some Siglos here in the next few days. No idea of what will be in store for me, but oh, I can't wait!

    Thanks all!

    Welcome from western Canada!

    I'm pretty new to cigars (smoking them for about 2 yr's now) and very new to this forum. When I first started hanging out on here just a few short months ago, I was still smoking Macanudo's fairly regularly.

    Someone already a member here pointed out to me that I would probably find as time went by and I tried more, different, cigars that I would find the Mac's rather bland and tasteless.

    He was right. I haven't smoked one now in a couple months and have no plans on ever buying another.

    I think what happens is, as you smoke more, various, cigars, your tolerance (would that be the right word) builds up and you find that cigars which once seemed too strong, now suit you just fine. So I highly recommend you always buy something you've never tried befofe when you're at your local cigar store. I would suggest in time, you'll find (as I did shortly after being told that was the case) that the Mac's really don't provide much "umph"

    Someone mentioned Padron cigars.......I've found I like them a lot! The same with everything I've tried by Rocky Patel. My most favorite RP's now are the Nording (Maduro) Toro, and the Vintage 1990 (in any size).

    Definitely check out the "Reviews" section and start making a list of cigars to try.

    I forgot to add, the "Newbie Sampler" is definitely the way to go. I just did one with one of the members who lives here in Canada. I sent him some $$ (I don't have enough cigars to be trading yet) and he sent me an awesome sampler which I'm still smoking my way through. It's definitely worth your time to do a newbie sampler!

    Welcome to the board from NW PA.
    I second the newbie sampler, you will not be dissapointed.
    Also, be very careful when you open the package from Kevin&, you don't know if anything is going to bite


    Live each day like it's your last, one day you'll get it right.

    If you like those Vintage 90's you may want to try the 92's - there is a fiver on the monster right now (and for the next 54 minutes) for $22 free shipping.

    I am in no way affiliated with the monster, I just have this obsessive-compulsive issue with checking their site every hour...

    Well, looks like Kevin will be supplying me with my first truly hand picked samples.
    I can't wait. :)
