A newbie should just try every smoke that comes his way.
Plenty of time to get a second order together.
You can probably get in on a Newbie Sampler Trade(NST)
with a FOG. FOGs are very generous with smokes, and
NSTs are notoriously one sided, in favor of the newbie.
Look for NSTs on this and other cigar boards like CigarPass.com
or eHerf.com, etc. CA probably has them here, too.
My Priority package didn't get to you yet? 3 1/2 days?
