New to Forum: Recommendations Needed

[godfather]

Hi Everyone,

I just joined today and tried searching the threads and didn't have much luck. Can someone help me out (newbie)? :)

1) I'm going on vacation this weekend and I'm looking to buy a good mild cigar to smoke. Anyone have any recommendations?

2) Can you recommend a good sampler pack for someone whose new to cigar smoking? I'm looking to get acquainted with the different types...etc to find out what I'll like and won't like.

3) What are some good websites that contain user ratings on cigars?

4) Good websites for purchasing cigars at a good price?


Thanks in advance for the help and getting me started.

Welcome!

Sorry, can't help you there.

2) Can you recommend a good sampler pack for someone whose new to cigar smoking? I'm looking to get acquainted with the different types...etc to find out what I'll like and won't like.

I can't. But I know someone who can.

3) What are some good websites that contain user ratings on cigars?

You mean, as well as this one?

Try cigarpass.com, cigarweekly.com, cigaraficionado.com.

4) Good websites for purchasing cigars at a good price?

I like jrcigars.com, cigarbid.com, cigarsinternational.com.

Thanks in advance for the help and getting me started.

Welcome again.

I suggest finding a local cigar shop (superpages.com or yellowpages.com can help you out there) and ask for some help.

The first time I walked into a shop, the girl there was more than happy to pick out whatever I was interested in. I think I went for 5 sticks in the $5 range. She really knew her stuff and picked out some great smokes in my price range.

Solid advice. The guys that work in my local smoke shops get all juiced about spreading their knowledge and making selections.

You know, I think I'm going to start asking for one suggested stick every time I go in to the shop. Always rely on the expertise of others...

I'd recommend seriouscigars.com if you want to get some single sticks.

I would buy a box of something decent and see if someone might send you 5to 10 differant cigars you can try ,you can pick up some decent priced midrange cigars from cbid,or just offer some money to one of the senior members for some sticks,everyone around here i pretty trustworthy
