Hello
I just recently turned 18 and I tried cigars and I fell in love with them.
Any suggestions for a fairly new cigar smoker? Any samplers I should buy?

Re: Hello
Welcome and if I were you I'd just dive in and start reading and trying as many cigars as you can,,,take notes and keep the bands of those cigars that you really like so you at least have something tangible to get more.

Re: Hello
Welcome Aboard Glen!

..... And Happy Belated Birthday!!

My best advice is to try several different cigars and develop a taste profile and read as many posts as you can from other new smokers and see what they like. What matters most however is what YOU like.

Re: Hello
Welcome - try out the Oliva Serie V if you can. That was the first cigar that made a huge impact on me enjoying this hobby.

Re: Hello
Welcome from Virginia. If you read and watch, you will find out several things to try. Buy samplers and experiment with size and blend. When you figure out you flavor profile and budget, then we can help you.

Re: Hello
Welcome glen, one thing I would suggest is to make sure you read about the hows and whys of cigars such as the proper ways to light and smoke a cigar so that any bad experience can be blamed on the cigar and not the method in which it was consumed.

Re: Hello
What's up?

Im a new cigar smoker as well and I am 18 also.

I've been enjoying cigars for about a month so I am learning tons of info about cigars.

Since I can't afford above 5 dollar cigars on occassion I usually go for

-Flor de Oliva
-Robusto Deluxe
-Jm's
-Padron 2000
and a couple 2nd cigars of the big name cigars. like Punch 2nds.

I just ordered some Brocatus cigars so for their price I am hoping their great.

Welcome
