Bill, you should really look into the Newbie Sampler Trade over in the newbie section. It is a great deal and you will come away with some really great smokes and it will be alot less than going to CI to start with. Go over and check it out, Smokin'Gator heads it up and is a great guy and he will help you get started and point you in the right direction. Trust me, you will love it!!!
Let the brothers here on the forum turn you on to some great cigars. Plus everyone gets all uppity when a newbie just like you comes along. Am I right guys??
