Hiya Shadow, check out sime if the samplers on CCOM pick one with cigars that you havent tried yet. 75 bucks will get you some great stuff, and of course go to the newbue trading topic and ask fir a sponsir and a trade. Fill out your bio with you want to try list, and somone will trade and put you on the good traders list. Give it a shot bri, im new also and the vets here are very helpfull.

Call Tim Blythe(The Beard) at cigar.com, he'll put something together for you.

One thing I like that ccom does is if you go to the brand you like and scroll towards the bottom it lists samplers that brand comes in. If you order one of those you can either branch out and try the line, or sometimes find sampler that include blends that share a characteristic with the one you like. If you check out the Man o War page you find a couple samplers in your range where you can branch out. If you call or e-mail ccom (or specifically "the beard" Tim Blythe tblythe@cigar.com) he can put together a sampler for you right in your price range instead. But best at this stage is to find a good starting point, like you've done, and branch out through a sampler. You might find dead ends in there, but you'll probably find really interesting roads to go down as well.

I wouldn't waste the money but YMMV.

I agree with the awards sampler, there are some great smokes in there

My Opinion... Save your money. I know this sampler you are looking at, and even at a buck each, you will never smoke them all. These budget cigars are not a fair representation of all the great cigars available. I have tried some on the list and I will say I will NEVER buy any of these cigars. If I was given them I would not smoke them either. But, do what you think is best By the way, with that sampler they send 5 Cohiba Red Dots. The ONLY redeeming thing about this sampler. So ifr you want to spend the hundred for a few Red Dots, they will be the "Gem" of this bunch

You could also email @ TBlythe@cigar.com. Tell him the forum sent you. If hes busy he might take a bit to get back to you, but when he does you wont be disappointed.

This is always hard to tell somebody what to get because what our tastes might be might not match up to what you like....it's always the best bet to just buy 2 or three of a brand you think you might like. How does one approach that? By researching...look for brands that will match up to the profiles you like already and go from there. If you are starting out in this hobby then don't buy anything over a medium strength....your tastes most likely will be overpowered until you are used to it. Try something that is mild to medium...Fuente Cigars are what a lot of people love when first starting out as the brand caters to a lot of mild to medium profiles. Another thing to note....let your cigars sit in your humidor for a couple of weeks at least if you're not going to smoke them right away....they tend to smoke a little wet if you buy them from a B&M ....if you buy them online then they need to sit for at least two weeks as the change of environments from the warehouse to your humidor tends to rob them a bit of their flavor.
