Hello!

[sturge]

Hello all!

I've been browsing the forum for a few days and decided to take the plunge and join up! I'm still relatively inexperienced in cigars so I'm hoping to learn a lot here!
I'm also looking to go to the cigar and rum tasting session in London later this month!

James :biggrin1:

Hallo there James - welcome aboard matey :thumb:

What cigars have you tried so far?

[daverave999]

Hi there! Don't worry about inexperience-we've got all ages and levels of experience round here.

[sturge]

Only a few, im trying to taste a range of brands to get a sense of what i like. What i have tried;

Partagas Serie P no. 2
Bolivar Petit Corona
Diplimaticos No.4
Punch Gusto Tube
Hoyo de monterrey excalibur
Cohiba red dot (believe this is dominican?)
plus a few which i forget.

I still have;
Fonseca kadete
Cohiba Siglo VI
Romeo Y Julieta Medallas De Oro 1875

Has this been a good starting point or have i been wasting my money??

Welcome! Sounds like you're going through a good few to see what you like, good idea. Sounds like you're on the right track to me. Variety is always a good thing, you'll be able to hone down to exactly what you like - even if that's everything!

Hello Sturge, and welcome. Looks like you have got off to a good start with your list of smokes. Plenty of information knocking about on the site for you to reference.:smoke:

Hi Sturge
Welcome and nice introduction smokes you've tried there.
where did you get the Cohiba from, I guess it's the one with the red dot in the O?

I don't know anything about the non-Cubans but the Cubans you've tried are all excellent choices...the Siglo VI is a cracker too :)

No problem TJ, Sturgeonfish, havent heard that in years! But yes sturge is just fine.


where did you get the Cohiba from, I guess it's the one with the red dot in the O?

Thats correct, i picked it up while i was in the US last year. I've yet to try my cuban cohiba which i am looking forward to. It seems to get good reviews! Im not a big smoker but do as you are all probably aware of have one from time to time to relax and treat myself!
