this thread honestly lol

im new too (smoking regularly for about 2 months) but honestly just go to a cigar lounge and tell them you're new to cigar smoking and what they would recommend. the lounge i go to atleast they are very friendly are super helpful

What lagging said, this is my favorite thread of all the forums I am on. Enjoy it, lots of good guys here with solid knowledge.

Read this thread.
Also, the best way to learn about cigars is by smoking them. Go to your local cigar store and buy a couple of samplers. Smoke them over a couple of weeks, see what you like, and smoke some more.
Make notes of any flavours you taste while smoking. Doesnt matter if you can't detect anything to start with, just smoke what you enjoy and after a while you will start picking out flavours and can then buy cigars you like and build a collection.

thanks for your speedy replies brahs. so what I did is had a quick look at the first 20 pages of the first and second threads. I seemed to notice a recurring theme:

Cuban Cohibas, Davidoffs, Opus X, CAO brazillia, fuente something and family y rosela? idk the last one. so fkn pumped, its 6am and i havent slept for 50 hours. planning on going tomorrow to see if the local tobacconist lulz has some.

In my experience the only thing guys who love smoking cigars love more than smoking cigars is talking about smoking cigars.

I use the Xikar MTX scissors and keep them on my keyring that way I'm never without a cutter.
Much easier to find a lighter or matches in a pinch than a cigar cutter, always gotta be prepared!

whats the differences between the cutters? besides assuming they last longer.

i bought the $3 ones and they work great.

[theduckwa]

I get a better cut from expensive cutters. Ive had nasty cuts from cheapies which tore the wrapper :-(

You mirin my most recent purchase?

[colorblind987]

Smoked this about an hour and a half ago while reading some of "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell and while sipping on some cream soda with a little bit of whiskey on the side. I had to return some stuff to walmart and stopped in a little store right beside it. For $4.70 for a single it was definitely worth it. Great draw. I'll definitely be purchasing some of these in the future. Was a nice end to a relaxing day, did some fishing earlier. Caught a feisty little pike within the first few casts, pics of pike attached too haha

[colorblind987]

Mirin hard. Smoked a CAO America yesterday but honestly was not too impressed with it. Still have to try a Brazilia here in the next few weeks. How much for the entire haul and where was the purchase at?

Purchased it at cigars international. Paid 90 for it all. I really like CAO America, it just has to be in a certain size, which I got. I love a fernandez's cigars, the Man o' War line is awesome, and Ruination packs a punch! 5 Vegas Cask Strength is pretty powerful too, very deep and earthy. Partagas and Gurkha are both great, and that particular gurkha (the name escapes me) is quite delicious as I recall. The two samplers were called the Horn O' Plenty II and the Nicaragua's devils brew.

Lol good morning smoke! haha. And sadly, I am unaware of Glow, just joined the cigar crew haha. But, if I really wanted to ball, I'd be rocking Gurkha's his majesty's reserve. haha

it always goes well

Had a different core taste, something like bread almost, not even toasty bread. Lot of red pepper too. Certainly different from what ive had before.

[LaggingBiceps]

I keep telling myself I'm gonna try new cigars everytime I go to the lounge but I always stick with these ashton white label cigars. Love them.

Does the color of the wrapper effect the smoke? There's one that's a dark wrapper and I think the smoke is excellent.

[apo99]

5 year old Cohiba Magicos Maduro, while fishing, very nice thank fully i picked some up in cuba. 2 more weeks till school then i buy more to celebrate!

The wrapper can be attributed to up to 60%+ of the cigars taste. Check this out.

Cigplace.biz has great prices. As well as cigarsatyourprice.com



Just watched the "behind the brands" videos on cigar aficionado. Was very interesting. I especially liked the one with fuente jr. Talking about the opus x wrapper, made me want to smoke one. But cotdamn pete johnson sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest. Love his business model though, how first and foremost he makes cigars that HE likez, and if the consumers like it too then thats even better. Watching them made me wanna smoke so bad tho lol.

[darkninja67]

well just got back from the dealer, I am the proud owner of a 2011 Kawasaki ZX6R, should be picking it up this Friday. Smoking an Opus Love Affair right now to celebrate.

MCC smoke something for AFSFK and myself for good luck and safety on the roads.
