Thanks to all of you, I have changed. When I originally joined way back in 01-01-2007, I was a die-hard flavored cigar smoker, with "normal" cigars as fill-in's.
Because of all this talk about NC's and CC's I have found I have not touched a flavored cigar in over a month. I have been enjoying the "flavors" of a regular cigar and my desire/want for "flavored" cigars has waned.
Now that I was gifted with some VERY nice NC's I hope to expand my knowledge and refine my palette in the area of top NC's... then I hope to start exploreing the CC area. (I have many questions in this area (CC'S) particularly, the main one being how the heck you score 'em. But one thing at a time.
I wish I had someone locally I can rely on to expand my knowledge by teaching me about what it IS I am supposed to be tasting (leathery, coffee, chocolate) and all, the one decent cigar store I have near me has VERY limited hours that makes it damn near impossible to visit, but they lean toward the snobbish side.
But, I will eventually work my apprenticeship off and start to become more like rest of you.
I want to thank all of you for putting up with me, answering my questions, and soon hope to be a fellow bomber/gifter!
So I say stand up and give yourselves a round of applause.
You really know HOW to make a newbie feel welcome!!!
