Hi all,
As a new cigar smoker, I've been trying lots of different brands hoping to figure out what my tastes are...
One thing that seems odd to me is that usually new smokers usually opt for milder cigars and then slowly transition to stronger ones, don't they? I know that everyone's going to have a different experience, but that's the general trend, am I right?
But I'm having the opposite problem. Most cigars I've smoked seem too "weak" to me. I like to taste something while I'm smoking it and then have a nice lingering aftertaste when I'm done. I've been trying mostly "full bodied" cigars, but all these still seem very mild to me.
For example, this morning I had a CAO L'Anniversaire Maduro (robusto). This cigar would be considered on the full bodied side, wouldn't it? And yet I had that same feeling of it just being very "flat".
The only cigar that I've had that I really enjoyed from start to finish was a RyJ Reserve Maduro.
I guess I'm just a little disappointed that I'm finding that I'm not enjoying most of the cigars I'm buying. Just wondering if this is just the nature of it when you first start out.
Any recommendations for cigar that really pack a whallop? Maybe I should start with the strongest and work my way down instead...?
thanks
