So I'm new to CC and I'm the type of guy who goes all in in trying something new. So when it comes to cigars I like to usually try each vitola of each brand to decide which I like the best and usually go for the box purchase. But with CC there's like well over 10 different sizes for the 5 brands I want to try. So do you guys think it's worth getting every size to try or just stick to a few?

There are samplers you can try or make your own.

agree with Frank. Sample as much as you can before committing to a box.

Buy the biggest storage that you can afford if you decide to go off the deep end and start to buy boxes. You will be surprised at how fast it will fill up.

Have fun trying new stuff.

Good luck.

this is great advice. sample as much as you can, and buy a massive storage unit

The petit coronas are all very good indicators of each brand, picking up a DC, robusto and corona/CG would probably not hurt either :thumbsup:

get a Petit Corona sampler and a Piramide Sampler

I was where you're at about a year ago. Started out by buying a robusto sampler from the czar along with some other mixed singles. Gave me a really good idea of what I liked most. Started buying boxes, met other people smoking cubans to share and trade with. Ordered another sampler of mixed sticks. Rinse, Repeat.

I'm now a happy, degenerate CC smoker like the rest on here.

I was thinking of getting a robusto sampler just to keep me busy while I try to find a wide selection of singles I can get

You can't really go wrong with a bunch of singles/samplers, at worst you're going to only smoke one cigar of a brand you don't like.

It will take a while to try everything so just make a start and sit back and enjoy what you smoke, there is no rush to try everything at once :thumbsup:

I have been buying a box here and there with another member and then we trade half and half. Therefore we end up with twice the amount of variety of cigars. Just a thought.

My advice would be to buy a couple boxes of good smokes and trade a portion of each box for assorted singles with other members here. Buying a whack of singles can be a very expensive proposition.

Also I would be careful to avoid boxes of the milder smokes to start off with. I found that there was a transition period for the palate going from ncs to ccs where I couldn't really appreciate some of the more subtle characteristics of the milder Cuban smokes.

Good Luck!

+1 here. Good one to start with is BOLI IMO. This one got me started and I now I have come full circle to apprecite a milder CC with tons of flavors.

I like the random approach. Pick a heap of singles with no rhyme or reason - just make sure you get at least two or three of each.

i started off with the samplers. but they take a bit to get to me so by the time they had arrived i had already ordered a few boxes. thats whats great about the reviews tge boys do. i listen to the flavors there tasting and if its something that sounds like what i like i buy it. they haven't steared me wrong yet.

Well, first things first... Before you buy anything, I need to know what you're interested in so I can bring a little sampler to the herf tomorrow. That is if you're still going. I can't promise much, but I'm sure I could hit a few.
