New guy needing some assistance

**TheVitaleMob** · 07-14-2006, 07:02 AM

Welcome to the board, my favorites include most of the Carlos Torano lines which can be found from $3-7 most of the time. Early in my smoking career (Only about a year ago,) I used to like Baccarat as well, but graduated to more full bodied cigars. Some other good smokes are:
Ashton classic/cabinet lines
5 Vegas
Romeo Y Julieta
Arturo Fuente

My two cents: Don't be afraid to try new cigars. Find something that looks interesting, is in your price range, and go for it. If you don't like it, at least you'll know. You don't have to be a "Dog Rocket" Scientist. Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. Good times.

Locard, & lrharry,

Thanks for doing what you do for us over there. Do you have an address to recieve packages? I have a bunch of aged mild/medium smokes I know I'm never gonna smoke, so I'd be glad to send 'em your way. They are mostly inexpensive smokes I bought when I first got into cigars, plus a lot of assorted singles I've picked up over time.

You can post the addy here, or email me....bigjackvi @yahoo.com

Welcome to the board. The Torano 1959 line is excellent, as are the Fuente Chateau's and 858 Flor Fina. Also, what Vitale said - part of the fun is trying out new cigars and finding your favorites.

Many thanks for your service to our country.
