    Default Hi.. noobie here.

    So I recently am trying to pick up this hobbie. It's a great social thing esp. when you can relax with friends and talk about something or talk about nothing and have a cigar. Well my first purchase for cigars was a few months ago (an 8 pack sampler), having ZERO knowledge of what I was doing, I just decided to go for it since it was only $15. Well I'm still a noob and don't really feel I have smoked a quality cigar yet. One day, I will have enough courage to spend that $10 on the macanudo or romeo y juliet that i've heard so high of. But today, I will just play with my new $50 humidor from ebay (don't even know if it's a quality piece or not, but i like it) and my 4 cigars.

    Oh yea, location: norcal for now (school), back to socal soon (home)

    Welcome iluvmysh.

    My opinion...don't bother with the Macanudos. Your best bet, once you get your humidor up and running, is to try the newbie sampler. That'll get you a chance to try some well cared for sticks of different types.

    It is . Welcome to the boards....

    You'll have to get in line on the newbie sampler thread.... it is currently on hold . Should give you time to save up a bit.

    Samplers are GREAT for newbies. They let you learn about what you like to smoke and what you don't like to smoke. I suggest keeping a journal, too. You're going to smoke a lot of different cigars and the names are all going to blend together.

    Choose your samplers carefully. Look for names that people talk about in the forums, not just a great price. http://cigarsinternational.com has a lot of good samplers (and be sure to get the brown bag sampler)

    Your local shop is another great source of "samplers". You should be able to ask the attendant for a few sticks in the $5 range, and they should be able to hook you up with a great selection. And as you start to find cigars you like, they can help you find similar cigars...
