Hello There!

Hello there, my names Daniel from the uk!
Nice to meet everybody,

I'm a newbie smoker to be honest, I bought a couple on holiday and have yet
to smoke them but am heavily fascinated at the spectacle and vast array of
leaf types etc.

I need some advice on what to smoke? and perhaps if anybody has 1 or 2
I could possibly try before I purchase more? :)

Kind Regards

D

Hi from Western Canada!

If you're just starting out I would recommend you start with less intense cigars. I would suggest smoking mild to medium cigars for a while until you build up a taste and have tried some different brands.

Greetings...Dominican Monte Cristos are a nice medium bodied cigar...You can catch them on sale if you look around. Stay away from Macanudo. No flavor at all

Well I'm a student so I have little cash frankly, so I'm looking to buy a few singles.

Welcome to the board. Try to find a reputable local tobacconist......singles will be available as well as conversation and advice.

Welcome from Ottawa, Canada, where the taxes on cigars are just as high as yours!

Welcome from Eastern Oregon. I would suggest asking your local Tobacconist and see if he has something that would be good in a beginner line. I would go for medium strength cigars. Most tobacconists have a good knack for selecting for new smokers. Enjoy the experiences you have. Roger.

For a student on a budget wanting a good smoke with access to Cuban cigars - absolutely nothing beats the Quinteros line. I am particularly fond of the Brevas vitola.

Welcome!
