    Smile Cigar smoking newbie says hello...

    Hello ladies and gentlemen! I was recently introduced to the past time of cigar smoking. I started with some cigarillos and on a recent trip to the Dominican Republic I picked up a few cigars: Romeo Y Julieta Clemenceaus, Montecristo Grande 50 x 7, Montecristo in a glass tube. I'm a total newbie, and only purchased those on recommendation from the sales person. How did I do for my frist purchase? I'm looking forward to becoming part of this great community!

    welcome to the board!

    as i am still really new to cigar smoking, i haven't tried those yet so i'm unable to say whether i like them or not.

    how was the trip?

    Welcome to the board Jeb. I'm a fairly new cigar smoker myself, but I have tried a couple Romeo y Julietas, although I'm not sure if they were Clemenceauses. I definitely enjoyed them and give you the on your choice. Haven't tried the Montecristo Grandes though.

    I'm going the other direction than you. I started with larger cigars and am looking to pick up some cigarillos for a quick smoke between classes when I return to college next month.

    Again, welcome to the board and I look forward to chatting with you more in the weeks and months ahead.

    Welcome!!

    Your first purchase sounds fine. The bottom line is did YOU like them? Never mind what me or any so-called "experts" say.

    Stick around and enjoy!!!!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    I plan on staying a while and learning and sharing as much as I can.

    mithril, the trip was short but very good. I plan on heading back there sometime in September.

    I haven't smoke the Clemenceaus yet, but as soon as I do, I will let you know how it is. I enjoyed the Montecristo Grande...had a very nice flavor and flow.

    I have had a few R&J's and Monte's
    I like the Monte's best so far.
    Like the others have said, what you like is up to you.
    Even though I think the Monte's are better,
    many say they are over rated, they probably are.
    I take advice from the older dudes here, they aint steered me wrong yet

    Smoke what YOU like. Use reviews and other's opinions only as a loose guide.

    The RyJ Clemenceaus, in my opinion, are one of the best cigars you can buy for the money.

    Explore! Have fun and welcome to the board!
