Help out a newbee...

You know it seems like just yesterday when I walked into the local cigar shop for the first time to seriously take up the pleasure. Walking in with a knowing look of confidence on my face,only to be confronted with 100's of selections and of course 2 or 3 aficionados (in my mind) strutting around puffing and talking about shades,fillers,6 x 48,torpedo,Lonsdale,torch,Guillotine....aaaahhhh!

Now I was completely terrified and knew I was about to be embarrassed :?: :roll: :oops: .

So I just grabbed 4 of the first one that caught my eye. Punch Double corona,s not bad for a guess.

Next time I decided to have the courage to ask the shop manager for a suggestion,and was introduced to 2 other stick lovers who gladly gave me some advice on a few to start trying and see what I like best.No sneer or snub from anyone. :lol: The best advice they gave me is that this is a Vice of pleasure not social status as most have been told. The preppy Macanudo craze of the 90's had a lot to do with that and almost ruined the cigar supply.

Easiest thing to do is walk in to a good cigar shop and ask for assistance. You'll get it I promise.

Enjoy your smoke friend.
 
I'm a noob here and just want to say thanks for all the information I just picked up reading this thread. I just finished a Aurturo Fuente petit corona while reading and really enjoyed it. I think I will be smoking many more cigars in the future and with the knowledge I found here I dont think many will bad.

Thanks
