After an exhaustive search and a cold reception on a competitors board, I think I have found an outstanding resource here.
A little about me. Active duty military, currently sailing the seas on deployment. Quit cigarettes and found cigars. I have been bitten big time. I find the entire cigar culture fascinating. Just can't read enough about it.
Anyway, I have bought two humis, one for here on the ship, and one is at home. My science wiz daughter has the one at home set up already, and based on my findings, a box of 5 Vegas gold is on the way there to rest waiting my return. Here, I have ordered a sampler from JR's which was excellent. The Romeo y Julieta 1875 was primo, followed by the St. Luis Rey Reserva Especial Corona, then the Montecristo Afrique Machame and the Montecristo No. 4. Then I ordered a bundle of JR's alternatives which have been somewhat inconsistent, although a decent smoke once it settles down a bit. Alas, I'm afraid I ordered a box of (I'm embarrassed to say it) Thomp^ons Chavons before I found this site. I'll let you know how they are.
Now, I've read many things about Cigar.com's cameroons and their other brands. Here's my question? Are these short filler or long filler. In all my readings, I've heard you want to go with long filler. I need a good quality, daily, inexpensive smoke to fill my humidor. I tend to like a mild-medium smoke.
You all have been a fountain of info and I look forward to sharing info on this board. Thanks.
