did some old guy yell at you for posting in the trades forum?

my first pointer...put on a suit of armor, you're about to get attacked.

after that, you'll get advice.

Two problems with the question:

Wallet friendly..........we have no idea what that means noop!!

but still good..........we have no idea what that means either.........noop!!

You might be wealthy, with a sophisticated palate, or a bum with the palate of a goat.

So, as much as I'd like to give you some free advice, cause I'm one of the few nice guys around here, your lame question makes it impossible.......noop!

Stick around, someone will help...........maybe.

Ok...ok......start with some AJ Fernandez stuff, some lower end Tats, and some Jaime Garcias, maybe even some Ramon Buesos.

Welcome, and buy a cooler now.

Do a better introduction. Tell everyone a little about yourself and cigars. Mention some cigars you like and why you like them. It's hard to advise you about what to buy without knowing what you like.

Lol Honestly never was good about introducing myself. But here goes. So far I've had isla del sol corona. It paired real well with my morning coffees. Acid blondie/deep dish/kindred spirit/ Natrual dirty (really enjoyed. ) non infused I've had a black label trading company royalty. Last call norteno. And one other I can't remember the name. Enjoyed them all the royalty being my number one so far but it's pricey. Wallet friendly meaning I was disabled last year and still fighting for benefits so can go all out like I would like to. I do enjoy the hard time y'all giving me though. Most I've laughed in a bit. Keep it comin

Ok, here's my simple analysis.
Good $1 cigars don't exist.
Good $2 cigars can sometimes be had, at box purchase levels, in winter.
Good$3 cigars can be had anytime if you know what you're doing.
Good $4 cigars can be had, even by fairly smaht noops.
$5 and up? Easy peasy for all, any time.

1) I wouldn't brag here about smoking incense laden cigars. You probably won't find much sympathy.

2) Understand that since you really aren't a full fledged member yet, you probably won't have any luck having people share their secrets regarding which $3 cigars smoke like $10 cigars.

3) There is a fairly comprehensive FAQ for this site. It's a rather long URL so here's a shortened version that's easier to type:

http://tinyurl.com/n8n49xd

4) Have thick skin

5 packs will be your friend, make sure you set your shipping to weekly and watch end times carefully. Bid early and often. Losing is a sign of weakness. If your in doubt, just search for the overbid page and add 11 bucks to the listed example. A coolidor will also be smart. Welcome

Welcome. It's always nice to see someone newer than me. Keep a low profile and let the heat rounds go over your head.

Try getting some 5pk samplers till you find what you like. Let them rest before you light up. Try to meet the delivery truck

outside before your wife finds out you've ordered more.
