Ok, so I'm a newbie on this board. Somebody tell me some good one to try~Samplers, etc.

All of 'em

Dave

LOL! Could ya be a little more specific?

First of all, I'm fairly new here, myserlf. Via trades and reading the boards I've discovered it's deifficult to recommend something. Tastes vary widely. The 'gars I like and buy might be dog rockets to you. That being said, try CAO Black, Brazilia, Italia. 5 Vegas series "A", Partagas Black. There are a couple different maduro samplers on the auction block. Gurkhas are good and there are samplers of these, also. E-mail me at:

You can sign up on the newbie thread - do a trade, a good way to get a nice sample of sticks from a botl with experience. Buy 5vers or samples - Mando listed some really good sticks.

At the risk of looking like too big of an idiot~WHAT newbie thread?????

Just search the word newbie.

Thanks~Got it!

Having been here only nine months or so myself, I aksed the same question when I started reading the boards and got similar answers. If you are just looking for what you like try any of the saplers, like "Top Tier" or "Top Shelf". There are several of them, some with eights sticks, and some with as many as 20 and a desktop humidor. Read the description, the 20 that I got with the humi had ten different brands, two each and they ranged from mild to full bodied so it was a good way to see which cigars I preferred.
Just my 2 cents,
Jim (Diver)

hey buddy, try the mild sampler, there are some nice smokes in there and you cant beat the price!!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Just curious, do you fish with that guitar, man?

Anyway, there is a box headed your way.

Enjoy,

Dave

Well, it does have strings on it! LOL!

Got your e-mail! Thanks a million!

Try one of the samplers suited to your taste. There are mild, medium, and full samplers. If you like maduro there are samplers just for that. There are a few Perdomo and Patel samplers that you can't go wrong with. Try to go with the samplers that have fewer quantities of a greater variety of sticks.

If you don't like a stick at first, properly store it for 6 months or so and try another one before you give up on it.
Visit the trades board or donate to the troops any thing you don't like after that.

I won't trust another sampler again. I recently got a 90+ rated sampler containing 20 cigars, with 10 varieties and 2 cigars each. 3 of the best brands were completely swapped for lesser cigars. What a bummer.

jasdub--was that at cbid or CI or somewhere else?

Sorry that it happened to you. 😞
