I'm a beginner (Suggestions?)

**CCarr33** · 06-30-2013, 04:19 PM

I'm a beginner cigar smoker, I've never smoked anything else, I just like to enjoy a cigar to help me with stress.

Do you guys have any all time favorites to suggest?

Here's a link to a thread listing top 10 favorites of some of the members. If you look around, you'll find other discussions on favorites too.

If you're new to cigars I have two recommendations for you:
1) Smoke on a full stomach, not an empty one
2) Start with mild to medium strength cigars and work your way up to stronger ones.

Thanks guys!

You should start with a mild cigar. A couple of recommendations:

1) Toscanello Caffe - creamy coffee and vanilla taste.
2) Casa Torano - slightly sweet cedar and nutty taste.

Both are effortless to draw and relaxing to smoke.

My first cigar was a JAVA---and because of this cigar, I've been hooked on cigar smoking. It's a great cigar for a beginner----It's filled with the flavor of coffee and chocolate
and it's not just a cheap flovored cigar----It is an exqusite delight!!! You simply have to try one. I believe they are hand rolled in the Dominican, but I may be mistaken---It could be in Nicaragua, but it is a quality smoke.

Definitely something light... If you go for one of the 'manly' varieties (this is what I did at first) you'll have a tough time realizing why so many people like cigars!

When I started, I smoked these few cigars, and loved them. Very affordable too. They are still some of my favorites today. 1. Carlos torano casa torano toro 2. Cao gold 3. Gispert toro

My personal favorites are

1. Arturo Fuente Anejo
2. Rocky Patel winter 2012
3. Monte Cristo #2

all medium smokes and can usually be found just about everywhere.

They are available virtually every day via interweb.

**ggiese** · 09-24-2013, 02:40 AM

I only rarely have trouble getting my Anejo's at MSRP. I always have a stock of them!

**steffanan** · 09-24-2013, 07:29 AM

Well I haven't been so fortunate to find them online. The cigar I really want to find online is the Arturo fuente 858 sun grown. I have never understood, are those seasonal?

You can order them from Corona Cigars. They are my #1 supplier. I have always been able to find my favorite Fuente's when at the store. Online is showing the 8-5-8 sun grown in stock

I never buy Fuente product from them. But - anything Avo, including stuff you'll find nowhere else. Corona Gigar is the place!

Oh awesome, thanks guys. It's great to get a recommendation on an online store, I always get nervous ordering from a new place.

ha very true. the anejo is a bit hard to find. but around november-december you should be able to find them pretty easly. but once they are gone they are gone for the year. i usually stock up on them so i can treat myself to one every couple of months atleast.
