What Cigar to start off with ???

Whenever someone I meet wants to try a cigar for the first time I usually give them a Montecristo #1 or a Romeo Julietta Bully. In my opinion these cigars aren't too heavy which is usually what turns off most people to cigars and the flavors are easy to identify. Just my opinion...

Whats palatable to one might induce vomiting in another but those two cigars usually get a pretty good reception from new comers.

I noticed your in the bay area, I was up in Sacramento a year or two ago and my buddy took me to Tower Cigar and Pipe. I wanted to try something new so I described what I smoke, what I'd like to possibly try and the dude gave me a few decent suggestions. They all seemed really nice and knowledgeable there.

Good Luck
