Was pretty good! My 3rd traditional cigar and it was enjoyable. Only others I've had were a Punch and LHC. Didn't care for the LHC. I still like infused cigars more but that's probably expected from a rookie. Then again, the only infused I've had is a Kuba Kuba and I loved it. Can't wait to try all the others in the humi.
I did have some minor issues keeping an even burn but I'm a noob and probably didn't cut/light it correctly. Also, it was pretty windy outside. It eventually went out but I'm pretty sure that's because I got sidetracked with the iPad.
I can't really give a review because I'm too new to recognize any specific tastes. I just give a thumbs up or thumbs down haha

I am not one for infused smokes. When i first started smoking cigars i started on natural cigars. I have had a few infused cigars and am not a big fan of the flavors. Should i smoke some more infused cigars?

CigarMonster has a deal for the next hour on a Drew Estate Natural Sampler. 6 cigars for like $23 shipped. Great deal. Kuba Kubas also, 5 for $20. Another great deal.

Hmmm, I have been enjoying cigars for 19 years now. My recommendation for you is to try the corona and robusto shapes (nothing over 50 rg) to get the full essence of a cigar. Most manufacturers roll in the corona shape and blend ratios for the other vitolas (shapes). Try exhaling a little smoke through your nose and the flavors will be more pronounced. Your taste will mature through time. Thank you for your thread. Enjoy.

Yeah I don't really like anything larger than robusto. I try to stick with 50.
I tried exhaling through my nose a little bit but I usually end up inhaling a little during the process and end up with an upset stomach.

It's hard to describe how to do it without inhaling it into your lungs. Most sticks burn a little (milder) and some burn a lot (fuller sticks) exhaled through the nose. But I'm starting to figure out how much I can get away with, without feeling like I'm setting my sinus on fire.

i know the feeling. Little by little and all you need is maybe 10% of the smoke you take into your mouth.

I think I'm getting the hang of it a little. I will concur, all I can handle is a little bit before it starts to burn, but it does improve the taste.
