[DAFU]

I'm guessing the majority of members started with NCs, as myself. Some fall off the cliff and others like me, slide at various speeds. Finding CCs that you enjoy is usually the first step to picking up a bit of speed. Trying to duplicate your enjoyable smoking experience consistently can be challenging given the inconsistencies of CC's from year to year and vitola to vitola. Eventually it's usually all in with no way of turning back though. Took me a couple of years and now I only smoke a few NCs, maybe a couple VSGs and DPGs a year. That said, I can say I am particular about what CCs I'm smoking; a stinker is a stinker in my book, CC or not. Enjoy your journey and smoke what you like!
