Since I am new to this site and posting threads please let me know if I posted in the right forum. I am looking for suggestions on medium bodied cigars. All ideas will be welcome. Im sure somebody can help me out

Tony,

First to answer your question...no, you did not. Post this question in the cigar related forun.

Now welcome to the madness. Jump in on the Noob Thread #13 thread. This will give you a good way to try some new smokes and get slapped around by some vets. Oh, and cut up your credit cards after reading this.

thanks for the advice...i appreciate it

Welcome to the madness. The only problem with asking for advice on a certain strength/body of cigar is that everyone has different taste. I think my pipe smoking for the past year has spoiled me a bit because I often find cigars to be less potent than what they are supposed to be. It's really a subjective question that you're asking. The other issue is what cost point you're looking at.

I just had an Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Natural in the robusto size a day or so ago and it is probably the second best cigar I've ever had... but I am just getting into cigars too, so there are thousands I haven't yet smoked! LOL

The noob trade thread is a good idea. I did it and it was really fun and you end up getting some easy experience trading and some great smokes in exchange.

Best bit of advice that was given to me on this same subject was buy many different five packs and mixed samplers. And also read the forums, there is quite a bit of good advice here, to see what everyone is saying about different cigars. Let our opinions be a guide but not a judgement as your tastes are different from mine.

As you find stuff you like buy more and the stuff you don't care for...set a couple aside and revisit them in a few months or longer. Then if you still don't care for them offer them in a trade or donate to OpFTH for the troops (www.OPFTH.org)

Just be careful when buying 5'ers and samplers. The bills stack up in a hurry.

Then you get on the mailing list for specials, and you're buying 20's and boxes just because "man, that's a good price".

Before you know it, you've only been here a month and have spent over $300.

Not that I'd know anything about that. LOL

Helps also to track your preferences in a note book.. showing when you got it how long what you thought of it at the time.. Helps to remind yourself if you see a special on it to jump or hold back.. you could always follow guyutes cigar scale...

0 - UGH, PUKE, BLECH

1 - Nasty

2 - Well, maybe I'll smoke the whole thing - if you gave it to me and you're still there.

3 - I'll spark up another, if some one gives it to me. I won't buy 'em.

4 - Good smoke, I'll buy more

5 - Great cigar. I'll try to keep some on hand.
