I still have my favorites but now there's quite a few brands that I ether didn't notice before or weren't around back when I was smoked last. I just want to know how some of the newer stuff measures up and what's out there. Thanks for any advice.

As to your original question: If you can tolerate the weirdos and azz-oles on this forum you will learn a lot about the cigars we think are worth buying and also if you're interested cigar storage and purchasing and even which industry insiders you ought to hate. Stick around and get involved. Once you participate in the forum discussions and get around 50 posts in, people will be willing to do a newbie trade with you and then also you should seek out additional trades and this wide variety of new sticks will allow you to sample some quality cigars that are new to you.

The final third is the best third. YMMV if you suck.

My cigar, my choice.

I smoke them until they don’t taste like they should anymore. It’s different for each cigar.
Some people think it’s an etiquette thing and it’s even been said on this forum that it’s a sign of desperation.
I say bullshít. It’s your damn cigar and you should enjoy it however you want.
