You don't have to have a great palate to appreciate any smoke, especially those 64 anny maduros. That was either my second or third cigar ever and instantly became my favorite. Nowadays its dropped back to second in my top 5, but its a very close second. You'll appreciate it more down the road yes, but that doesn't mean you should avoid it altogether for the time being. A great cigar is a great cigar, regardless of how experienced your palate is. :2

The O naturals are like a little cinnamon bomb(or at least thats what I remember mine being). :dr

Re: Newbie recommendations

yea.. about that... I read one of these threads a month ago or so and made a list... ended up dropping about 120 in the B&M... granted he gave me a coupe free sticks since Im always in there and I rarely walk out with out dropping at least 50.... So be careful!! :)

As a fellow newbie, I'd recommend My Father Le Bijou. It was the first cigar I could detect specific favors beyond sweet or spicy.

Honestly, I'd be happy with 120. I have a feeling it's going to be an expensive afternoon.

Forget lists. Start at one end of a shelf in you local b&m and work your way around the humidor, trying everything.

Re: Newbie recommendations

Well, here's what I ended up getting. They had some Olivia reps there, so I got a free Nub Connecticut for buying 5 Nub/Cain/Olivia sticks, and then I won 2 more of them in a drawing they had. :noon

One of the Short Stories didn't make it out of the store :D Damn fine little smoke.

Re: Newbie recommendations

That is a damn fine haul! So many to sample, but those should keep you busy for some time.

You should check out the newbie trade thread also. I am almost ready to participate in it myself.
