You have some great suggestions for other Nicaraguan cigars to try from some of the BOTLs above.

If you like beer, I dig a nice Imperial Stout with a full bodied Nicaraguan cigar.

Welcome, its like the saying go's. Never fly first or business class because you'll never want to fly economy again .
Same thing happend to me when I started, I tried these great cigars and was hooked. Once I try one its hard to let go and try somthing else. Because you know that one makes you feel good.

So take some advice from some posts in here and try different cigars.

I personally like natruals, not maduros. But you should know that not every dark wrapper is a maduro. I smoke plenty cigars with darker wrappers.
Like some one mentiond the my father, try tatuje, la auroua 107, hemingways, you'll should enjoy these if you like a medium to full cigar.
Enjoy

I completely relate to this! That is what happened in my early years of drinking. I wrote this in my introduction thread,
"I will relate my cigar philosophy to my drinking philosophy. I have a collection of 54 different wines at the moment yet most nights my wine comes from a box. I have some exquisite 18 year old scotches yet I love me some Dewars. I have a few friends that own breweries and I have beers from all over the world but give me a Pabst or a Schlitz and I'm happy. My point is hobbyists, especially new ones, get very excited and caught up in tasting & chasing perfection. It will come, start anywhere. There does not need to be perfection in a hobby, simply enjoyment of the entire experience that goes into the event. I smoked a Rocky Patel Decade last night. Now while to me that cigar was less than just ok, I enjoyed the time while I was smoking it. Listening to music, a glass of wine (boxed) and a warm summer night. All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine. "

If it is put in front of me I most likely will smoke it, cigars that is!

Yes, these are fantastic suggestions and great info for a beginner. Thank you again! I do love me a good Stout. I just have trouble bringing my self to drink them in the summer.
