Ok guys it has been 1 year since I stratred this thread. I hope it helped some people introducing them to a variety of new smokes.

I also see that some of the people who were NEWBs actually turned into established members on this board.

I know it is hard to let go of ones child but I think it is a good time

Anyone who feels they have benefited from this thread and have been on the board a while now and are up to the challenge of starting a NEWB Sampler thread of their own please PM me and I will pick a name at random to whom this mighty torch will be passed ( punt intended )
