hi all
new to this cigar smoking lark but visited havana 3 month ago and did the tour of the partagas factory and purchased a cohiba siglo lll. next day went back and got a box of em and did the lot over the next 12 days,plus afew others that took my fancy in the hotel shop.
i admit i don't know half of what you guys are on about on here but hoping to learn and try out some different cigars when the chance comes my way.
im into playing the 5 string banjo and riding my bike, one i do alot better than the other. (riding 32years banjo 18months). like my food and travel round europe trying resturants of note when time and money allows.

hope to get to know some of you on here and enjoy laff with you all

Welcome khol! Hope you get a lot out of this forum, however the side-effects are a significant reduction in monthly funds and monthly allocated personal time. Enjoy mate!

Welcome to the forum. Nice to have a few more northerners on here lol. You know how to start at the nicer end of the cigar scale that's for sure.

hi jibjob
so i been told at my local cigar shop . which is only a cpl of mile away and is open while 10 everynight this is great as i dont have a humidor yet and can pop on up there and get my fix as and when i need it,. which at the moment is ryj petit coronas and siglo ll and the odd ryj exhibition 3.
but i would welcome any recomendations for any non cubans

Welcome to the forum from another new member here. If you want recommendations on NC's then a profile you enjoy is needed. I'm new to NC's myself (6 months) but can probably give you a starting point. *Smile*

All depends what they have in stock. NC wise i personally prefer the NUB and Cain range made by Oliva but you might not be able to get them locally. Rocky Patel is another good brand that you really can't go wrong with and for a creamy smoke i like a Don Tomas. Never tried La Rica but think i will try one when i see one next and CAO are a nice smoke although they don't float my particular boat. If your local cigar shop has a website post it and i'm sure we can all recommend some from their selection or if you post some that you fancy trying we can give you our views on them.

I started out on RyJ tubos and i still love the brand. For CC the next i tried was a medium Monicristo No 4 and then a bolivia which nearly knocked my head off being so strong.

The beauty of starting off is trying lots of singles and finding out what you like then once you think you know what you like delving into that area deeper. Just remember to kiss you wallet goodbye lol.
