Hey i am Marty and new to the site and new to cigars. I am half Cuban, and after living my first 30 years as an Italian-American I have been wanting to discover more of my Cuban heritage. I can remember when I was just a tike how my grandpa would smoke his cigars in the evening in almost a spiritual way. As a kid i didn't get it when he talked about growing up on the island working on his dad's farm. But I always remember the way he lived for his evening smoke on the porch (it never was to be missed or rushed!)
Sadly, I didn't have my very first cigar until I was in of all placed Iraq while I was there for 22 months. My grandpa had already passed away so I wasn't able to tell him I finally got part of what he enjoyed.
I just placed my first order with cigar.com today and am working on trying out different sticks to discover that "stairway to heaven" that my grandpa seemed to expereince. My humi is pretty bare right now, but I am seriously wanting to develope a true diverse supply to enjoy and to share.
Any of you seasoned "professors of smoke" have suggestions for a newbie?
In lot of ways I am a blank slate, with a heart to share a passion I never understood.

the cigar.com house blends
any of those should be good.
I found my renewed interest in cigars while I was in Iraq earlier this year too. It's actuaaly kind of sad because my smoking has tapered off since I got back because there aren't very many people around to smoke with. I see that you are from Texas. Are you back from Iraq? If so, where in Texas are you at? I'm always looking for a BOTL to share a stick with.
They honor the same deals that they made a few months ago.
Based on that if you email Radio@cigar.com or call in they will give you two pretty good offers on
A 6 pack of Nub Sampler - I haver really enjoyed these recently as I picked up a couple of these samplers
And the Organic cigar they offer in a 5 pack for a really good deal. I picked up one of those but havent tried them yet. People state that they are very flavorful!
Check em out.
Can I make a suggestion based off of what you listed since your taste seems very similar to mine. Try the CAO Brazilia (I liked it better than the Italia), the CAO Black 'VR' is also very good.
both are good though. its just a matter of taste.
