Goodman and Dan (and any Others) -- Cigar question

Low,

You might also scope out your friendly neighborhood tobacconist. The prices are WAY higher, but

1) You can buy onesies, and try things out. Then order in bulk from CI
2) You can learn from the other customers (we're mostly a friendly lot). You can also get to know the retailer, who will give you tips too.
3) Often times, the reps will come in town and host tastings which usually involve good promotionals, free sticks and libations.

And finally, it's a fun place to hang out and kill an hour. Like a coffe house...for MEN.

Pup gave you some good selections for Mild cigars. I would add Dunhill and Pliedes. They are well made and tasty mild cigars, but they are pricier.

When you are ready to dabble in stronger cigars, start slow. Don't jump in both feet with the double Ligeros or the oscuros. go for a nice rojo or a colorado maduro. Try the Punch Rothschild. It's a maduro, but smokes milder. They're short, so if theyre too strong, you don't get overpowered. Plus they're relatively cheap.

long ashes!
