It has begun

[Sgt_Banter]

My slide down the slippery slope to cigar obsession has already begun. I caved and bought a Guantanamera Minuto and a Montecristo no5. I have smoked the Guantanamera and it was quite pleasant but was very mild to the point of being bland I thought. Just need an opportunity to have the other one now. I've also come up with a 'hit list' of cigars I'd like to try. I've decided I'll stick to Cubans seen as they are supposed to be best and try perla/petit corona sizes as they are cheaper and take less time. I fancy trying a H. Upmann Half Corona next or maybe something full like a Bolivar Corona Junior. I was warned this would happen

It's all started now. I suspect the Monte will finish you off and you'll continue to slide on and on until all spare money is spent on fine leaf!

Glad to see i'm not the only beginner at the moment!

ive had a Monte 4 and loved it(not sure how different the 5 is), I've also got some guantanamera's sat there(cristales though), and will try those at some point.

the humidor is the next step on your downward spiral!

[Sgt_Banter]

You may well be right, I just want to try everything. I reckon if I had gotten into it in the summer I would have probably smoked a lot more by now. I don't really have anywhere decent to smoke seen as it's getting cold

Only started this year myself mate and has turned into abit more than a hobby. Yes deffo the humidor is the next step proves to yourself that its not just a fad

[ValeTudoGuy]

Congratulations! Shame about missing out on the NC's though!

[Sgt_Banter]

I've also been looking up NC as well. I would particularly like to try all the different Carlos Torano or Te-Amo robustos, but that'll have to wait a while
