Excellent advice TGT andI have to agree with it.

Sadly for me, the nearest cigar store is about 120 miles away. But, whenever I'm in the city and near it, I always pop in and say hi and pick up a couple sticks. The owner of my favorite store, and all his employees, happily make recommendations which I've taken to heart every time. I've always been very happy with their recommendations and a couple have made it to my regular smoke list.

I never thought to mention that the biggest reason I used the sampler thing was due to my distance from a decent store. If I lived in the city, I wouldn't have bothered.
