Hi Chris,
I have a rebel XT. I'll play around with the WB and see how it goes. Have to read up on what all these settings mean.

Av is fine, but you learn more when you shoot in Manual. I always suggest shooting in manual. Especially to people who don't know much about the camera yet.

Don't normally try to take pictures for photography purposes, just to show off bombs and such. But, without any photshop or anything else, here are 5 Kristoff Criollo Lanceros.
I really like the way this shot came out. Maybe it was cigars themselves which made this such a good shot.

Dan... it looks like you're trying to push your macro a bit too much, as it's kinda blurry still... I bet the same pics but a little further back would look much better

Cool! Thanks for the tip! Yes, I had the lens almost touching the foot.

Bobby, if your camera will allow you, try some without the flash. Most of those seem over exposed to me.

Just set up a flickr account... now I need to upload some pics. Already chose the ones I'll throw in there.

Thanks! I held the camera back further on the foot shot and zoomed in a little bit. I cropped out all the extra crap and it made it pop. I really like it.
