First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

Made my first trip to the smoke shop to purchase my first cigars. I took a friend with me and had the guy at the shop help me and this is what I returned with. What do you guys think of these?

I think they are the worlds smallest sticks :r

Hard to see, need to attach the thumbnail so it's linked or just link the image :) Oh and welcome to the banana factory !

Can't tell what they are. Might want to use photobucket.com to upload pics.

Since I know... not a bad haul!! Start with the Macanudo, finish with the Punch.

Nice Ronson! :D

No prob... :)

You should try to go the event coming up. You'll be welcomed with open arms I'm sure.

While I'm not a fan of the LVH, they're all solid smokes, but don't let people bust your nuggets for the Macanudo, they're a great morning stick. :tu

Nice buy! The Mac, Baccarat or R&J are great ones to start with, the punch is going to have some kick! Nice call on the Ronson, one of the best lighters that I have ever purchased! Welcome!

You bought a Range Rover at your B&M? AWESOME!

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

They threw that in for being a first time customer! I think I will have to return! :r

I like those Punches. Haven't tried the others, but it looks like a solid haul. Had one RyJ so far it was pretty good. Only bad part was the local place I bought it from kept their sticks too wet and it ended up plugging on me eventually. I should order a few of those at some point.

Yah if you are brand new to the slope talk to the guy at the local bm and tell him you want some mild sticks to start with, at least it worked for me.

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

you two guys ... yer killin me ... :r

Nice smokes. The only ones I haven't tried are the Habana and the Ronson.:D

Re: First trip to the smoke shop, Hpw did I do?
 

I've had the Macanudo, the Punch, the RyJ. They're good smokes. But what's important is if YOU enjoy them. If you do, then it was a successful trip. If you find there's some that you don't like and some you do it's STILL a successful trip as you've discovered something about what you like and what you don't.

If you're new to the BOTL then the best advice I can give is try a wide variety of cigars. There's a hell of a lot of them out there and you'll find you don't like quite a few of them. But the only way to find what you like to smoke - or even better, what you LOVE to smoke - is to try a wide variety.

The second best advice I can give is don't let someone else tell you what you should think of a cigar. Take recommendations based on flavor profiles, strengths, and bodies that you enjoy. But things I enjoy you may find to taste dull and vice versa.

Bottom line: smoke what you like and like what you smoke. And welcome to the BOTL...it's a heck of an enjoyable hobby.

Thanks guys! I was told if I joined here that this place if full of the coolest, helpful people around and I have to say he was right! I do have a dumb question, My buddy took all but one to his house to put in his humidor,But how long will one last in the wrapper till it starts to go bad?
