I rent a photographic memory from an idiot savant. :)

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Why do you think people have 1000s of sticks and it's called "the slope"? haha good luck with that brother! I suggest finding your own idiot, or just jot down what you like, as you smoke your pallet will change and you'll probably enjoy stronger sticks as you go, again smoke what you like and don't smoke what you don't like :D

My downfall was the SD herf and trying CCs for the first time, I'm all done, leave me behind, save yourself type of thing, but at least it really helped me find something I truly enjoy. The best thing about cigars is there is always another kind to try and experience, it's def a marathon not a sprint. (+2 for sports metaphor?)

Oh and read this thread and think about signing up!

Ok, I read the intro and its a little confusing to me. 1. How do I sign up 2.where does it tell you how to ship cigars. 3.Do you ship cigars to somebody and they ship some back to you?

I down loaded cigar boss last night!:tu

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Just post to the thread that you want to do a trade, Gator will tell you to pick someone off of a certain list, you send that person a pm and talk, exchange addresses and then you send out cigars, there is a thread on how you package them etc., then when your partner gets your cigars they will send out sticks for you.

It's not that hard it's just a confusing read, so just post in there you want to do a newb trade.

Thanks, That explained it alot better then the intro page in that thread. :tu

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

This thread reminds me of my first time. Brought a smile to my face!

Enjoy the journey! It's never ending!

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Ha, I never would or could of imagined how much went into cigars. I have learned so much from the helpful guys here,It has only added to the drive I have to learn and try more cigars! :tu

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Wait till you.....nm you'll find out eventually.

Or maybe write down some notes about your thoughts regarding your first few cigars. Keep those notes in a safe place, and as time goes by, they'll be some interesting reading 5, 10, even 20 years from now. Your tastes will definitely change over time. You may love a cigar now, but two years from now you may think, "Meh." Or maybe not. With the huge variety out there, even us seasoned smokers are still learning.

Good idea shark, Thanks for the tip!

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Yeah in the beginning when your sampling lots of different things it can be hard to keep track of what you like and what you dislike. A little notebook is an excellent idea.

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Well I made my second trip to the local B&M and picked these!

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

I think you'll like the Oliva. Nubs, I'm not too much a fan of; maybe if they were not so dang tiny....but that's a discussion for another thread.

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

The Connie Nubs are the best of the bunch IMO, and the G Maddies are fantastic every day sticks :dr

I say you did great this time too :tu

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

What's a Connie? {sorry, really old joke) :D

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Nice pickups. I'm not much of a Nub fan, but the Oliva G Maduro is very tasty.
