    hi guys & girls!!

    obvious from the title that i'm relatively new to the world of cigar smoking.
    used to absolutely hate the smell of cigars even tho i'd never smoked any myself. this all changed when i quit cigarettes, tried my first & was hooked straight away

    dived straight into the deep end & ordered a cuban sampler pack from a reputable online retailer, sat back & enjoyed.
    recently really enjoyed a Bolivar petit belicossos finos LE09 & a monty no2. really enjoyed the bolivar tho felt a little queesy afterwards, boy they're powerful!!! just a little more than disappointed with the monty tho, didn't draw very well, even after recutting the end not given up on trying another tho as had some really nice monties recently.

    the only things that are making this new hobby harder is apart from the obvious expense of obtaining the actual cigars (the tax placed on them is extortionate!!!), is finding local retailers with-in a close distance. I live near Leicester and apart from having to travel some distance to actually visit a tobbacconist I am restricted to online retailers. They're ok but as I'm a newbie nothing beats that face 2 face interaction. Do you think most if not all retail shops will go the way of the dinosaurs eventually as I'm sure the majority of us are leaning more towards internet sites as they invariably work out a little cheaper?!

    thanks for reading and once again, 'hi' to everyone & cigars rule!!! lol

                  thanks for the warm welcome guys!!

                  i sure will post on what i smoke & my own opinions of these stogies! tho still fairly new i'm sure some of the more subtle flavours will not be noticed for a while, but thats the joy of smoking the same cigar after more experience, you are rewarded with new flavours and experinces

                        Just read the post a little closer. I too have had serious draw problems with the monte 2, even though I love it's flavor profile. Too bad, that.

                          welcome... i think your bound to come accross the odd stick thats difficult to draw, ive had a few myself, i usually snip off the end give it a gentle presured roll, slide a very thin kebab stick through end to end and problem solved... The drawback is you can only do it at home or walk around with kebab sticks lol... none the less welcome aboard

                              i know that the incident with the monty was probably just a 1 off, just disappointed as the previous monties had been great. love the taste & will not be put off from this bad experience, just a little peeved as the stick cost so much!!

                              NO i don't inhale the smoke!!! made the mistake a coupla times & nearly ended up depositing a lung on the floor. Not a mistake to make again!!!
