Pretty! :D

You should enjoy those... (although, I am not a Gurkha fan.) ;)

You will enjoy all of those. The Sopranos was a disappointment when I smoked it, but it wasn't bad either. I think I expected too much.

The Sopranos is about the only CAO I enjoy, but they still don't justify the MSRP :tu

I am usually not a Gurkha fan either, but the 1 shaggy I had was a decent smoke.

That CAO though, one of the best early morning with a cup of coffee smokes out there.

Enjoy them!

Thanks guys. I really like the little CAO Karats. Pretty good smoke and just the right size if you dont have a lot of time to sit down and smoke a huge cigar.

I just smoke the Ghurka Shaggy last night and I enjoyed it. Really smooth and burnt well. I am still trying to acquire my taste. Havent smoked that many different cigars yet. Just getting started.

Best of luck with the journey! Best advice I can give, especially if you are on a budget, is to buy lots of samplers before you buy a box. You may think you LOVE a cigar...but then as you try others, you may realize it doesn't even compare. So be careful about buying a box of something early on...

Of course, you can always find someone else that likes it, and use the WTS thread...:banger

Random samplers usually never work out well, but since you are newer, you may find something you like.

Also try the Devil for some larger samplers at better prices than CI. :tu

Yes, you need to stick around, post some, and it will be revealed in due time. I highly recommend the newbie sampler trade. It doesn't matter what you send for your end, but I guarantee you will get some awesome smokes from the experienced person. If you don't get a good trade, PM and I will blow your mailbox clear into the next county.
Cigar bid dot com is the devil site be careful though it's a slippery slope into maxing out your ccard there.

Re: beginners new smokes
 
Thanks I will check that out.

The thing about cbid is that you have to be careful not to overbid on cigars...I've seen some people go crazy and bid more than what the product would cost by purchasing straight from a retailer ;)

Re: beginners new smokes
 
Thanks, yeah if i bid on anything i will be sure to have 5 diff sites up that sell the cigars outright.
