So I'm new here and pretty new to cigars as well. I lurked around a little while but but this seems like a great place to be a part of.

I stared smoking cigars about a month ago -- the first combustable anything I've ever smoked -- a friend handed me an Opus X, which in retrospect was probably a bit much for a smoke deflowering. Since then I've basically just been buying random things with no particular direction. Of the relatively few cigars I've tried, the ones I've liked best thus far are:
Romeo y Julieta
CAO Black
Series 55 red label

No newbie post would be complete without an awkard summary of my life, so here goes. I'm 25, I live in Dallas (so I have a new appreciation for how stupid the smoking ban in restaurants is), I'm a big big fan of the cinema (see username), and I work in IT.

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out here. I'm looking forward to mining this forum to learn more about cigars and to work out something better than my rudderless approach to buying cigars.

Welcome to cigar pass!. I too, loved the CAO black initially. It's a good starter cigar, and one that I still occassionally enjoy. Can't go wrong there. I totally understand about city smoking bans. My favorite cigar bar in Lincoln will basically close up shop and a good tobacconist store will have to be smoke free after January 1st. As a matter of fact, I've read that they plan on enforcing the ban at exactly 1:00 a.m. in all bars and public facilities. :angry2: Not that I care since I'm married, have two kids, and usually go to bed at 10:00 p.m. anyways. :D Oh well, it's good to know that people are taking care of us in this Socialist People's...er....United States of America. :)
