rahman2k6 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Hello Everyone, I have been reading posts, watching and reading cigar reviews for quite a while now and thought it was about time to introduce myself! Complete cigar n00b! I have never smoked a cigar all my life and thought it was about time i started! I've ordered a humidor and I'm in the process of making my first order of cigars and i just cant wait! I have made a list of cigar that i will order really soon, hopefully before the end of the week. My selection is stated below, some to smoke straight away and some to age in my humidor. Let me know what you think! MONTECRISTO No. 2 MONTECRISTO No. 4 MONTECRISTO GRAND EDMUNDO LE 2010 BOLIVAR Royal Corona BOLIVAR NO. 2 TUBOS PARTAGAS SERIE D NO.4 PARTAGAS P2 TUBOS H. UPMANN MAGNUM 48 LIMITED EDITION 2009 Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No 2 COHIBA MADURO 5 SECRETOS COHIBA MADURO 5 MAGICOS COHIBA MADURO 5 GENIOS RAMON ALLONES SMALL CLUB CORONAS RAMON ALLONES SPECIALLY SELECTED ROMEO Y JULIETA SHORT CHURCHILLS TUBOS POR LARRANAGA PETIT CORONAS PS I'm also thinking or ordering a Cohiba Behike and leave it in the humidor until i graduate in a few year! Hope to increase my knowledge of cigar as we go along. Kind Regards!
BrandonW Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Welcome! Thats a nice list you have there. Is that list singles or boxes? Since you never smoked a cigar before, i recommend getting those in singles and experiment with what you like before sinking money on a full box. Theres no local cigar shop around you to give you a head start in the mean time?

Theres no local cigar shop around you to give you a head start in the mean time? I agree with this... Unless you have the funds... Then just get everything you can get your hands on. And get it from czar if you are sill looking for a trusted retailer... Recommend get behike.
rahman2k6 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Posted August 13, 2011 Hey BrandonW, The list is singles and some 3packs, there is a a cigar ship in Ealing but its way overpriced, like everything else here! Going to hopefully place the order with Czar by Sunday i just cant wait to try my first one! Cheers for the Advice
rahman2k6 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Posted August 13, 2011 Recommend get behike. Which of the Behike range is what i'm struggling with!
kiwirwe Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 wow!! what a list. Welcome to FOH, i wish i had to list like that. regards Jai
Guest leanderdsilva Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Rahman. welcome again. The BHK 54s and monte petit edmundos are good buys. I like bolovar belicosos finos too! Also try to get your hands on some gold medals for later(not a beginner's smoke).

mdzotti78 Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Welcome Aboard. The Czar has some good samplers. I'd recommend one of those to try.
Rushman Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I would start slow, figure out your likes and dislikes and once you have a flavor profile you like, start purchasing in larger quantities. Welcome and good look.

rahman2k6 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 That is a very nice selection of smokes. Enjoy... Which you reckon i should try first?
thechenman Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Which you reckon i should try first? Being new to CCs, I would probably start with the Montecristo No. 4.
ZinZan Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Excellent list. And i agree chenman monte 4 would be a great start
TonyV Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Welcome, that's a good list of cigars,,i like that you're diving in head first..Enjoy your first cigar
rahman2k6 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 Yeh i just can't wait to light one up, my humidor seems to be stuck in UK customs, been stuck there since 23rd now. But my cigars should be here on Tuesday, coz Mondays a Bank holiday in the UK. But yeh will defo take some pics and upload and possible a video review!
Ghabanos Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Which of the Behike range is what i'm struggling with! 54 and 52 are great. 54 is pretty thick so I haven't tried the 56 yet. Both of the ones I have tried are rich and creamy... Delicious
