Same here. I actually get a lot of info from the group here. I had never had and oliva or padron or 1964 or Opus X before coming here.

Trading, PIFing, Cigarbid, best of all herfing. Sticks fly back and forth at herfs faster than the speed of light.

You can always ask as well. Post up your likes and dislikes and ask for recommendations.

I agree with Bob (I know, I'm the first here to do so

). Trades are very important to me as far as expanding my palette. I also read the reviews and I also read what other people are trading/bombing. The trading/bombing threads give me ideas as to what I should ask for in a PIF/MAW thread.

recently, I've been trying to sample everything Don Pepin has come out with. He seems to be cranking them out faster than I can get em, so that keeps me occupied with finding new smokes!

Read reviews, comments and whenever the company sends me on the road, check out local B&M shops to see if they have anything unique that I haven't found elsewhere (particularly "micro-manufacturers" whenever possible).

When I find one I like, I try what ever else they make. Hard to go wrong with a Pepin
