Hi everybody! I am new to your forum as a contributor but have been reading your posts with great interest for the past 2 months or so. Where to start...Well, I visited Cuba 3 weeks ago and what can I say? My first cigar ever was a Cohiba Siglo IV. I am totally hooked!

I've had about 3 different cigars since (all Cohibas I must say) and cannot get enough of them.

Here is a question I wanted to ask you , experts that you are: I have read some thread regarding the colour of the ash of a given cigar and I am not sure how (if at all) this can tell us anythign about the cigar itself in terms of taste, quality or whatever else. I have read accounts of "black" ash and "white" ash. What is the difference in terms of the quality of the cigar?

Thanks!!!
