Newbie recommendations

[Paddy]

Hi from Alberta, Canada.

Nobody else seems to have mentioned the Newbie Samplers to you so I suggest you check out the Newbie Sampler thread.

It would be well worth your while to do a sampler or two, with different members. Especially if your budget is limited. It's an excellent way to get to try some various cigars for a very good price. The guys doing the samplers aren't in it for the money, they're in it to share what they consider to be good cigars. My own personal experience with samplers has been wonderful and opened me up to many different cigars I may not have even tried otherwise.

If you go that route, I recommend you keep a list of what you have already tried and send that along to whomever you're doing a sampler with so they can give you some sticks you haven't tried as of yet.

He did contact me about a Newbie sampler. It was the day he joined the forum and had not made a single post yet. I advised him to make an intro post and spend a couple weeks participating in the forum and then I would accommodate him with a newbie sampler.
