AF Short Story (been really wanting to try these)
Maybe some My Father stuff
Tatuaje something
Gurkha something

Really interested in the last two, but know almost nothing about the brands. Anyone have suggestions for this newbie?

I would def go with these......Gurkha's can be hit or miss, but I really liked the one with the red label (sorry I don't know the name of it) it almost looks like it's on fire, it might be the classic, I would avoid the European Selection, it bored me to tears, but again try what you want, sample all you can.

I am going to guess that I have tried about 100 different sticks adn am still testing the waters. so far my fav is the 601 blue lable or PDR 1867 blue. I always keep a couplle of each of these in my humi, but there is no telling what else you willl find in there.

This is fantastic advice as long as the owner or employee will take the time to help you, and yes keep a log of what you have smoked it really helps, I have a notebook and just jot down notes or if I would buy again.
