    The build your own sampler is a great deal and a good way to get started. That is how I got back into cigar smoking.

    They have some great cigars in the list too.

    give it a good amount of rest. the perfecto size is hard to get a good burn on but the more you rest it the more even it will burn.

    Just as an FYI, I had a Centurian last night. I got it from the CCOM Cigar of the Month club back in March. It was AWESOME. I had let it sit for a good 30 days... great flavor, but the draw was a bit tight. Despite that, however, it never went out, the burn was perfect, and the smoke billowed. I have another in my humi, so I plan to let that one rest for a while before I smoke it... perhaps the rest will open up the draw a bit. Nevertheless, it's a great smoke. Highly recommended...
