OK, I am a noob, I admit this (though it is hard to do so at age 51).
I started with mild cigars (A Fuente Chateau, Baccarat, H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon) and have been asking local B & M stores (3 so far) for recommendations.
One of them "slipped" me a Gran Habano #3 in with everything else rated "mild", and my, oh my, what a revelation!
The complexity of this cigar has me floored, it woke up my tastes on a level I have never experienced with tobacco. I smoked cigarettes for 32 years, a pipe for 2 years, and dabbled in cigars since high school, and have never tasted anything quite like this.
Maybe I am just naive, but I feel like I have discovered something I should have found decades ago.
Is this a normal discovery process that everyone goes through?
Can't wait for the next trip back to this B & M to see what new "treats" they can place in the humi.
And I haven't yet paid much more than $6 for a stick, and haven't aged anythng yet.
I think I now understand this slippery slope concept, and it ain't just about money.
What have I started?? Dunno, but I love it!!
