Hi from SoCal, I'm a new "cigar" smoker. I've smoked really bad cigars in the past, mostly in college. Smoked a few at poker games, couldn't really taste much and then I just got into it later.

While my palette isn't that cigar sophisticated, I only taste pepper and smoke, I plan to develop it along with my love all things scotch and beer.

Welcome! I have got my palette growing to taste of cigars and brandy(cognac). Great together. Have fun with the new... Hobby..

What got me into this was an Oliva V while I was drinking some tasty ass beer. Like before I got only pepper, but I got more flavors out of the beer after a bit of smoke, so I figured it should go the other way too.

Find an Illusione or and Ashton Cabinet series, and the pepper should not be there.
