So the first few weeks of smoking I was getting in the groove of what "strength" sticks I could handle. While I'm a nicotine wimp because I have no prior smoking experience of 42yrs, I was finding my groove and finding the smokes I liked. I was using a regular straight cut. Over the last few...

Think so far and this is early and I'm not adept on the stronger cigars, my favorites so far are the Connecticut wrapper Perdomo. The 10th anniversary was by far my favorite smoke so far and I've been through about 15 smokes so far. All the med+ to full stuff was just too strong and my palate...

Hell probably...LOL! Paging Youtube..."How do you retro exhale". Lmao...🤣🤣

Lol..my exp so far from retro'ing is the nose burn. That's probably more from being a rookie though than the cigar.

So I have hope. That's what I'm doing right now. I have about 8 smokes in my humidor from 2 trips there. I'm just trying different stuff to see if I get that pop like you did like a light bulb goes off w/ one . Have a few stronger ones I'm trying now, but only after a meal and w/ a sugary drink...

Man preach. This is what I feel too. I've bought 12 cigars in the last 3 wks just knowing one is going to hit right. I had a Sobremesa the other day that had a very sweet wrapper on it. I loved the cigar but it got to me a little bit "strength" wise. I smoked it on a almost empty stomach and it...

I'm working on this. I seem to smell/taste a little difference when I do this. I will keep working on it and see if it helps.

Man I hope that changes for me. I really want to get the "taste" but I may not. I'll say this. I poured a glass of scotch last night and that was the most enjoyment I've had drinking scotch since I started drinking it a year ago. So today I splurged on a bottle of Balvenie 14.

Lol, that's twice I've been told that so I'm def going to take that advice.

So the last two nights I've had the Gurkha on Monday and the Romeo 1875 last night. Both seem to have that oaky, leathery, nutty finish. That's all my taste buds can taste and I believe that's the flavor of the cigar. I'm going to smoke the Perdomo Lot 23 tonight and see if I taste much...

I buy from a local shop. They serve beer and wine in there also so it's nice to go have a drink and smoke. This list was taken directly off their site if it helps any. Seems it includes the ones mentioned in your post. I will take your list back w/ me when I go. Acid - Aganorsa Leaf - AJ...

Awesome. Thank you. I will be trying another tonight and see where that leads me, and my next purchase I will find the ones you mentioned and give them a shot. I want to smoke, but I don't care to smoke just to smoke. I want to get some flavorful pleasure from it, if that makes sense.

One of the things I'm looking forward to w/ taking up smoking is the different flavors of cigars. I'm a craft beer drinker and that's what I enjoy about that is the different flavors of the beers along w/ the different styles. So far the cigars I have chosen have been the $7-10 range mellow to...
