Hello from the UK !
I live in Lincolnshire (near the Humber Bridge if you want to google map where this is)
Having given up cigarettes about 6/7 years ago I want something to treat my self to every weekend, so this will be a 1 or 2 cigars a week hobby for me.
I didn't realise how obscene the prices are though, so I think its best all round that the wife doesn't know, I am caring like that, thinking of her blood pressure.....
Got myself a very small selection of cigars to start with and another 14 on the wish list which will be arriving this week, I think having around 20 in the tuperdore at any one time is more than enough to work through, so when I get down to 10 I will get another 10 or so. That should be enough to keep things ticking along
I am starting off with mild cigars and will gradually increase as I become accustomed.
The hardest part of starting out is knowing what to purchase, I am reading/watching as many reviews on mild cigars as I can. Unfortunately a lot of the higher rated cigars are
1. not available in the UK
2. medium/full strength
so I am left with picking from a variety of cigar producers and hoping the few reviews I have seen are accurate. Eventually I am hoping to get a 'daily' cigar that I can reach for if I want one during a weekday and continue to try as many different premium ones at the weekends, but that's going to be a fair bit in the future.
If anyone has any tips then please let me know, one thing I have seen quite often is that cigars should be smoked sitting down and not while walking, that's a shame as I do like to have a walk each evening after work, and it was nice to have a cigarette whilst I did so.
Anyways, I will continue to browse the site and will put up some reviews once I get a feel for this new hobby
Cheers !
