Is this a good selection of sticks?

First of all you should email them quick and add something to get the free sticks. It looks like a pretty good started selection to me but I have to ask why you didn't order a sampler? You should really enjoy that Sol Cubano and the La Herencia.

Take a look at R&J Viejo too, its a solid medium bodied stick that I really enjoy. I got it in the medium bodied sampler I ordered when I was starting out. Also, the RP Decade is really good.

Thanks Goldy...I'll definitely put the R&J and the Decade on my list for the next order.

It looks like you've covered a lot of the bases with your first order...kinda smart because as soon as you start getting really into it, theres not going to be a stick out there that you won't want to try. I see you got a lot of aj's offerings...smart man! The best advice that I can give you is to kind of test out what type of wrapper you like at what certain times of day. I usually smoke a connie in the morning with a cup of joe or some tea. If I can smoke during the day...that's when I smoke my full body stogies. At night, because I'm usually pairing it with some type of alcohol, I like to smoke a more mild to medium body smoke (that way I don't wake up with ash mouth in the morning.) Keep a journal or at least write down which ones you like because chances are you can steal um off a daily deal!

Kind of all over the place in terms of strength, size, etc, but that's cool because you can figure out what you like. Only ones on there that I would never ever smoke are the Acids, but a lot of guys like them just fine and, like I said, I wouldn't know if I liked them had I never tried them. One word of advice, when your order comes, do not put the Acids in with the rest of your sticks, as to keep from infusing the whole humidor. Enjoy.

You've got a pretty big variety of sticks there. I woulld recomend starting off with the lighter smokes like the Fonseca, or RP Connie.

Ummmm. Thats quite a first order for a "Total NewB". When I was new, I just ordered singles. I pretty much smoked them as I got them. I didn't even have a Humi.

Build your own with a lock! My brother went to Iraq for two years and I sent him so many cigars that he gave away. He was telling me that as soon as he lit one up, all the scabs come around looking for handout! It was so bad he would only smoke when he had night duty by himself...gotta tell these guys that these bad boys aren't cigarettes and tell them that you gotta smoke um to post reviews of them online! Maybe that way they won't bug you for some.

Oh they will definitely be locked up...I think I'll put them in the safe behind a door with a cypher lock, and inside a building that has another cypher lock door. But then again I'm armed and don't part with my stuff easily, lol. Pretty much everyone that is here that partakes in the leaf has their own supply or gets the dried out ones from the local vendor. Not to mention the guys that work around here bug out way before it's time for me to sit down and relax.

Yup I was typing away and was trying to think of a good name for the bosses ammo can stogie storage system. Didn't really have a ring to it, so viola, the ammocanador name was born. Hmmm sounds like a good name for a new humi line.

Another thing to think about with the Acids. Smoke them first. They were my gateway cigar and at the time I loved them. Now I have a hard time smoking one at all. If you get them out of the way then you can start to enjoy the non infused sticks and learn to taste the tobacco instead of the chemicals and oils in the Acids. When you do your next order you may find you miss the Acids or you may not.

Looks like you got a really great selection there, so I'd say you're off to a great start. Only thing I'd caution is that you aren't gonna get a cuban from any of those vendors over there! We've had a few guys stationed in Iraq/Afghanistan come on here asking if what they bought was legit - it never is.

Selection looks great.
