Welcome....just go ahead and smoke a padron 40th anniversary and skip all the rest.

Just kidding start out with a variety first because padrons lead to second jobs

Noob as well. This is a great section to learn. Lots of BOTH & SOTL willing to share. I tried an ava maria holly grail last weekend. I thought it was a great smoke but had it with a few Yuenglings and it sent me for a loop (not complaining)

Forget pardon, although they are great. Now opus x, not only will you need a second job, but a divorce lawyer as well.

Welcome. Great guys here

ak welcome to the madness and no matter what you like today will certainly change in the months to come. He!! my tastes change with the season.

Buy some samplers and find your comfort zone.

Get in on some trades and that will open up a whole new world of tastes

Most of all don't let the 🌫 scare you away.

G-Man I agree nothing better then a couple of ice cold Yeunglings and a nice smoke.

Mild to medium in flavor, but packs a bunch effect wise. Voice of wisdom of smoking one (!) MOW Virtue but it hit me just like the MOW and MOW Ruination, which was a learning experience for this n00b. Wrapper color/flavor and "the hit" are NOT RELATED!

Haven't had a bad MOW yet.

No sucking up to ZRX! While not "Hans" he is one of the 🌫 chit stirrers and gets away unscathed. Plus I heard he likes waffles.

For both you n00bs, head over to the n00b PIB thread, we need some fresh meat and you'll get a trade in quickly. Trust me, even us fellow n00bs can't count to 5, and vets/fogs bomb each other with abandon. I've seen shops with less cigars than some HOTM totals.

Get a little dirt on your hands, and you might hear from the NWO. It's a new day dawning, we will herf on Tiger's lawn whenever we want!

I was just laughing at the LP 9 for a newer guy who likes mild to medium. I know my first LP was an eye opening experience, and I had been smoking padron maduro's before that.

By the way Padron x000 series would be a great recommendation here.
