You guys are a tough crowd. I will probably not post for a while. I want to see how it goes here. I didn't expect to be pounced on so quickly. :(

Indysmoker:

I think that was a little harsh. I read the post and I don't think he was trolling. At worse he's guilty of not lurking on the forum to see what the general consensus is about flavored cigars and not posting an introduction message. Yes, those are also newbie mistakes but we've dealt with that before.

aainstigator: Come on back and give us another try. As for mild cigars suggestions go to the Review section and check out my Newbie Reviews. I'm trying to review cigars from a new smoker's perspective. That might help give you suggestions of mild cigars to start out with.

Oh By the way, I will admit right here and now that a few nights ago I tried an ACID Juicy Lucy. It was interesting, but overall it tasted better before I lit it.

Yes, I've smoked a flavored cigar. And it was an ACID. Don't hate me.

Trying to get back to your original post, I started out on real cheap mild cigars and flavors before moving into real cigars... similar to what some others have posted.

I think the important thing, that most people on this board would suggest, is to make sure you're smoking flavored cigars that use real quality tobacco. A lot of the flavored cigars use the flavors to cover poor tabacco quality. This is similair to wine which doesn't have a vintage, which means they are blended in an effort to cover poor characteristics.

That being said, I would recommend you try some of the flavored cigars from Drew Estates (the natural and java lines, in particular). The ones that I've had were pretty good, and for the most part, used subtle favorings.

Wow, i am real new here too..........those last 2 pages were harsh.

Welcome aboard! I have smoked a couple flavored cigars. I cant really say i care what is said about it. Its your money spent on the cigar and its you smoking it, so smoke what you want.

I def prefer a non flavored cigar, but i also do like Acid Blondies. Start mild and work your way up, you will def like non flavored.

To each his own, welcome again and def stay on here, you will learn a lot.

I want to personally apologize If I cam across as harsh. Actually, I guess in all honesty it was meant to be harsh. I am new to this board but not new to bulletin boards and forums and usually have a keen sense of a troll. It seems that there are always members of competing boards that try to stir up the crap. So I will man up and apologize and hope you are a legit. My words were not indicitive of the membership of this forum. This is a very insightful forum and its members are very helpful You can learn alot here. I spent almost 4 hours total browsing forums and researching before joining and I assure you this is a great forum and worth your time. You do need a thick skin as people will joke from time to time. I extend the olive branch in hopes that you accept my apology and become a intergal part of this forum.

However I still cant stand Micheal Irvin and do not take back anything I said about him.
Secondly, I will forgive ChefChris for one because he does look like Pedro, and A coffee flavored cigar is okay because coffee is manly. I guess. If they only made a cigar flavored coffee it might take care of my sudden urge to light up at work.
