Hello!

Hello all!

I've been browsing the forum for a few days and decided to take the plunge and join up! I'm still relatively inexperienced in cigars so I'm hoping to learn a lot here!
I'm also looking to go to the cigar and rum tasting session in London later this month!

Hallo there James - welcome aboard matey

What cigars have you tried so far?

[daverave999]

Hi there! Don't worry about inexperience-we've got all ages and levels of experience round here.

[sturge]

Only a few, im trying to taste a range of brands to get a sense of what i like. What i have tried;

Partagas Serie P no. 2
Bolivar Petit Corona
Diplimaticos No.4
Punch Gusto Tube
Hoyo de monterrey excalibur
Cohiba red dot (believe this is dominican?)
plus a few which i forget.

I still have;
Fonseca kadete
Cohiba Siglo VI
Romeo Y Julieta Medallas De Oro 1875

Has this been a good starting point or have i been wasting my money??

Welcome! Sounds like you're going through a good few to see what you like, good idea. Sounds like you're on the right track to me. Variety is always a good thing, you'll be able to hone down to exactly what you like - even if that's everything!

Hello Sturge, and welcome. Looks like you have got off to a good start with your list of smokes. Plenty of information knocking about on the site for you to reference.

Hi Sturge
Welcome and nice introduction smokes you've tried there.
where did you get the Cohiba from, I guess it's the one with the red dot in the O?

Has this been a good starting point or have i been wasting my money??

I don't know anything about the non-Cubans but the Cubans you've tried are all excellent choices...the Siglo VI is a cracker too
