matt19hsc Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Greetings all. I am newb here and to the world of cigars. On a recent trip to Jamaica I had my first 'real' cigar and fell in love. For this christmas my wife has given me a beautiful 80 cigar humidor. Unfortunately it only has 6 cigars in it! Time to stock up a bit. Do y'all have any recommendations for first purchases? I believe I will spend around 300 or so for my first order. Suggestions on value cigars and 'must haves' are welcome. I am learning a ton, but still relatively empty when it comes to knowledge and experience so help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, and Happy New Years to all!

Colt45 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Matt, welcome to FOH. I'm sure there will be many great suggestions to help fill your humidor. My personal opinion/suggestion would be send our humble hosts an email (when they return from vacation) introducing yourself, and ask them to put together a sampler of what they feel are smoking well, and/or has good potential. This might help give you a start on finding out which sizes / lines are to your liking. Good luck, and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami101 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I went with the Prez top pick, and look for FOH member’s top picks. It is up to the person are you into light cigars, Full Body, or spice smokes? Also it depends on access to products. It is kind of hard to get Cubans.

BigSlick Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Welcome to FOH! You are definitely in the right place. It will all come together! Keep us posted on your tasting notes for your cigars. Good to see reviews by a fresh pallette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomross13 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 welcome fellow newbie, as mentioned go for a sampler pack. While finding out what you like best keep the cigar bands from what you smoke in different containers. The ones you really like in one, one that are okay in another and the ones from cigars that you don't want in another. That was how I have been doing things for the last 10 years and have had good results with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa1257 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Welcome to FOH Matt. I suggest that you spend some time reading here. Especially the cigar review forum threads. There is a wealth of information to help you select cigars that might be to your liking. Making a recommendation selection without knowing what brings you pleasure would be just a pure guess and have no value to you. Read, learn and contribute when and where you can and enjoy developing your palate. Again, welcome to FOH. Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
