Sat Night Smokes from newb

[Dub's]

Last night after a great Irish dinner I broke into the humi for a few smokes. Ive been waiting to try some of the gars I picked up thur. The 1st one was a La Gloria Cubana Wavell Natural. It had a pretty strong taste for me and I wasn't able to finish it off. The 2nd one was an AF Curly head deluxe that while still strong was much smoother and I was able to smoke it down to about 2'' Both burned well and I thought they were constructed well but, I think they are still too strong for my newb ass. So, having a few hrs left I went to my trusty favorite...Sancho Panza. This one was not the "glorioso" I've had before but a Primoroso instead (about the same I think maybe abit longer or a ring size up) but still IMO a good smoke for me. My wife took a few draws off it & commented on how smooth & mild it tasted. As it smoked down near the end I let the wife try it again...she thought even though it did get stronger, it was still a smooth smoke. Im hoping to get a few of these under my belt so I can aquire the taste to move up & smoke some of the better ones in my collection. I'll keep posting my latest smokes. I hope this is where I should be posting..(I didnt want to post in the review section cause I dont feel qualified yet)
Ok, sorry. Just realized I should have posted this in "Todays Smokes" My Bad

Keep in mind that developing your palate and being able or wanting to smoke "stronger" cigars are two different things. Smoking cigars isn't like weightlifting where you want to build yourself to the point where you can smoke tar and kerosene rolls. If you enjoy mild or medium cigars now, then stick with them and enjoy them. If/when the time comes that you feel you would enjoy something stronger, then go for it.

Yes, very true. I find I like to smoke what I think tastes good. Sometimes I feel like a strong smoke, sometimes not.
