That's now at least 3 "too wet" votes. I'll definitely give that a shot. Tough to think that far ahead

While that certainly seems reasonable I'm far more inclined to buy a bunch of the cheapest thing I can stand to get me through, then spend the rest on the best it can buy, at least while I'm still this new to the field.

Cigar Monster deals have been treating me well. Those 681s knocked my socks off, and I've got a sampler 5 pack coming later this week. Plus, I've been back and forth with Hayward from Famous a few times on twitter and he's pretty awesome.

I fully expect to get to that point. But there's SO much out there that I know nothing about. I have a lot of ground to cover before settling in to a groove.
