Hi, I'm new to the forum. I currently live in Maidenhead and have been enjoying the odd cigar since New Years Eve. It started for me when I was at a friends house warming party last year and one of his new neighbours (possibly Cuban; he spoke no English) offered around Cuban cigars neatly displayed in a humidor (known to me at the time as a box!). I was tempted, as was another friend, but we were fairly drunk on punch and as non-smokers figured it would be a terrible idea. Anyway a few months later I decided to buy some on-line to try and so I ordered a 5 pack of Montecristo no. 4's from C.Gars Ltd. Unfortunately I smoked the first one on New Years Eve when fairly inebriated on a variety of single malts and honestly couldn't taste anything except tobacco until the last few inches which seemed very nice. Tar maybe? It laid me out. The second one I had three days later in the afternoon with freshly ground Italian coffee (It definitely helps to keep notes). It was sooo much better in fact each stick from the packet seemed to get better. I found hot chocolate to be a good accompanying drink. The pack lasted me three weeks and since then I've placed three more orders exploring other sticks. The monte's were probably too strong to start with so I've leaned toward milder sticks since then.
This is my list in case anyone's interested:
CUBAN
Montecristo No. 4
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2
H. Upmann Coronas Junior Tubed
Romeo y Julieta No. 3 Tubed
Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robustos

Cohiba Club Cigarillos 10 pack
DOMINICAN
Arturo Fuente Exquisito
3 x 3 Tubos Corona
Davidoff Ambassadrice

Heaven Corona Chocolate Thunder
HONDURAN
Don Ramos Tubed No. 3
NICARAGUAN
Quorum Robusto Cigar
Chinchalero Novillo ? Fuerte Maduro
Dutch
Agio Half Coronas 5 pack
All things considered I've found this to be a surprisingly interesting hobby and I look forward to learning more and sharing more experiences with you all!
Regards,
Andy
