Newbie here needs some advice

[ggiese]

These are a step up from gas station cigars - they are hand made. They are also cheaper cigars - $3.00 each, with shipping included, is about what retail should be on them. I wouldn't call it being ripped - but stick around and we'll ruin you on what and where to buy...

(I don't want to tell you about CigarBid.com - that place is run by the devil....)

especially after reading a few posts on here. i see that most of those are unknowns huh? yeah thats not good at all. i'll definately go back and reread and keep my eyes out on where and what to buy. if anyone else has any thoughts that'd be much appreciated. thanks much guys.

If you are looking for a wide selecion for smokes, I reccomend you check out the newbie sampler in the Exchange section. I think Kayankinboy is up and I guarantee you will not be disapointed.

Actually, it's not all that bad. We all had to start smoking Cigars at one point. Not many can start smoking the elite “best of the best” and stay there.

Smoke these and find what you like and don't. That’s what these are good for. Find if you like POWERFUL, medium or mild cigars. Do you like spice or wood style flavor? Do you like a smoke that stays constant, or do you like something that changes in between. How do you know until you try? Believe me when I say, most of us here started smoking and thought the smokes we had then were awesome, however, we find that as we smoke more our tastes have changed. When you start smoking those premium and elite smokes, you’ll then fully appreciate there unique taste.

Again, these are not horrible smokes for someone that has never really smoked cigars before.

Once you get some ideas of what you like to smoke and after looking around here and seeing some of the smokes that people recommend, then I highly recommend going to the Newbie Sampler Trade and get some really good smokes from some of the experienced smokers. Then you’ll truly start to appreciate the good smokes.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help/advice/opinions. I got the package of cigars today but I will not be there until wednesday :( I know thats only a day but I've gotten all worked up over these things and I cant have one right away haha. From the responses and advice yall have given me I think I am going to start an e-journal/spreadsheet to keep track of what I have smoked and what I liked and disliked about all of them. That way I won't forget and can also see how my taste progresses and changes over time.

Again just wanted to say thanks to all for your help much appreciated.
