New Member, and New Smoker, Checking In

[ggiese]

Hi all! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mark. For years I've loved the smell of a good cigar (actually, ever since I realized the White Owls, Phillies, and El Producto's my father and his friends smoked shouldn't be considered cigars, but burning, rolled-up Army blankets), but never took my courage in both hands to try one until last weekend. I went to JR Cigars in Paramus, NJ (near home) and the salesman helped me pick out three different cigars to try, a Macanudo, a Nat Sherman, and a Romeo y Julieta. I've so far had the first two. The Macanudo didn't thrill me, it really didn't have much taste. I liked the Nat Sherman better, but it had a sort-of spicy taste I didn't care for, a feel like peppermint in my mouth. In the next day or two I'll probably sample the last one.

For a while I'll probably be lurking and learning more than posting.

Now go back and get yourself a Rocky Patel "Edge" maduro. Let me know how that works out for you...

Welcome.
