Default Re: Advice is always welcome with me!

Looks like you've tried some good ones! Without getting into specifics about the brands you've tried, I can a couple suggestions:

1. Take the time to write down some notes about the cigar you are smoking so you don't forget what you like and what you don't. The notes don't have to be elaborate. Just keep a record so you can remember the good/bad qualities of the cigar you're smoking. Don't expect to pick up on some of the tasting notes you see in reviews here (hints of leather, wood, sweetness, etc). At first just you can just write about good or bad based on the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd part of the cigar.

2. Start buy trying different sizes of the cigars you like. Size can make a huge difference in the flavor of a cigar.

3. Ask here for other cigars that fit into similar category of the ones you like and try those as well.

4. Don't make hasty judgements. A cigar you love the first time you smoke it may not be the same experience the second time. I usually smoke at least 3 of the same cigar before I pass jusdgement unless I absolutely hate it.

5. Remember, you like what you like. The cigars that folks rave about may not be your cup of tea or you may fall in love. Be patient and you will soon have several key brands that you'll like then you can start trying some others as you think they fit your likes.

6. PM me your address and I'll send you a few cigars I like that you might like too.

It's a lot of fun on the cigar slope. Welcome to the ride!
