I'm new too, it seems UK cigar forums is like the arc of the covenant for cigar knowledge!

Really glad your enjoying mate...

[QUOTE=Mark3142;134278]A couple of pics of my new pride and joy. Just need filling up now. Any reccomendations for a newbie that won't cost the earth. Can't justify spending out on a whole box just yet.

Partagas Shorts are always a wise investment, in my humble opinion, or Monte Cristo Petit Edmundos if you feel you'd like to try something with a heavier ring guage and mountains more complexity.

Well after a few days in the humi I can confirm the unwrapped King Eddies went limp and as quoted above tasted of nothing in particular. So that's the end of that experiment. Only a few left so they can stay in the box that I already have them in. And I'll keep the cello wrapper on.

lol thanks for reporting back though!!

Hi Mark, I'd smoke the Eddies first as once you have tried the Cubans, the Eddies will seem tasteless. I (& others) used to enjoy them way back but any I get given by well meaning friends/rel's get passed on unopened these days. They ar enot even up to the roughest Non Cuban standard.

I have to agree with this, I feel like such a snob for saying it but I couldn't be bothered with Edwards or Hamlets. It's just not worth my time to smoke one when I have a Cuban in the humidor. Time is limited to enjoy a cigar and it would be wasted after having sampled some Cubans.

Well that is the plan. I will only alter that plan when I get a job. Then I'll celebrate with a Cuban, then back to finish off the KE. Then it's be decent cigars from then on in
