    Gentlemen,

    My name is Doug and I am new to the forum. I have been smoking for a little over a year now and I have a pretty small collection (30-40 cigars). I often find myself purchasing the more expensive Cohibas, Gurkhas, Arturo Fuentes, etc. I sample here and there, mostly what my friends suggest to me, however I am looking to broaden my horizons. If you could please help guide me, I would greatly appreciate. I'm looking for a list of quality cigars that you gentlemen enjoy. Also, I am traveling abroad in 2 weeks and will be able to purchase Cuban cigars. Does anybody know of any fine, Cuban cigars I should try? Thank you.

    -Doug

    Welcome to the board usma147. You might want to start a new thread with your introduction so more people see it. This thread is generally used if you want to purchase a sample of cigars that a "vetran" smoker compiles for a newbie. (read the first page)

    As for cuban cigars to try, it all depends on what you like. The Montecristo cigars are known to be good, and I myself enjoy them. (but be carefull about the knock-offs)

    If you looking for some good reasonable mild cigars, try some 5-Vegas Limitada, Baccarat, Flor de Olivia (the last 2 are also about $1.00 a stick, I also have tried the Graycliff Original which is an excellent cigar but cost around $10-$20 a stick).

    There are plenty of good smokes out there and if your interested in getting a sample made by a member, this is the thread you should try out (just post with your interest in getting a sampler).

    FunkyCold5 just came through with an excellent sampler for this newbie. I cant wait to try them, there are about 5-6 I really wanted to try but the local B&M did not carry. Thanks again.

    Lol, not sure what you're getting at there, but I am serious.


    Actually now that I think about it I see how funny it is...if you are thinking what I'm thinking.

    And no, not that one. A REPUTABLE one.

    Guado sent me a generous selection of cigars for the newbie trade. I highly recommend everyone participate in this at least once.

    Thanks Guado!
