My personal experience is to visit your B&Ms and grab a few different sticks each time. I keep a list of sticks I want to try and take it from there. Stay away from Thompsons Cigar Club...you will receive sticks that you do not want to smoke and get charged more money than they are worth (I was a noob once...LOL!!). Join the Newbie Sampler Trade II, participate in PIFs/MAWs, etc. These trades with other members is a great way to try new sticks. Enjoy the BOTLs/SOTLs and have fun.
