Islandboy Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 2013 - the year I started delving in. First wow cigar was an Arturo Fuente Anejo 48. I basically thought anything with the word Maduro in it’s name or description was the bomb. 2015 - My first CC, an absolutely sublime CoRo. My strategy completely changed - buy only CC’s, smoke off my stock of NC’s until gone. Now - Variety is the spice of life. No real go-to stick, just trying to keep it interesting. In fact, I’ve recently started adding some NC’s back to the line up, but nothing heavy-handed. The smoother stuff like Opus X, Warped, Davidoff. For the days when I stare into the humidor and everything CC seems a bit too predictable. Happens occasionally lately.
Derboesekoenig Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 First Cuban cigar was around summer 2016--H. Upmann something tubo. It was glorious. I only started acquiring my collection in May of this year, however. I am excited to start smoking more and more variety. As it stands, if I had a new cigar every day, my current variety would keep me going for bare minimum 3 or 4 months. No rush though--that just means they will have plenty of age on them by the time I go through them.

prodigy Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I'm also a cigar newbie. First was about 2 years ago. Padron family reserve. I wanted to see if a $15 cigar was actually worth the extra price, it was... Shortly after spending tons of money on NC, I found this community. First purchases here were bolivar royal coronas and ryj short churchill's. My current go to sticks are psd4 and siglo 1. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Just because they were discontinued nearly a decade ago, doesn't mean that they can't be enjoyed right now. I am mowing through a box right now, and really wishing I had picked up more when I had the chance.

I'm trying to forget about them until at least 2020 or 2022
