Im a Noob

[MartinB_USN]

Ok so I'm a noob to both cigar smoking and this forum. I have smoked cigars frequently for the past six months. Before that I had occasionally smoked some lower tier flavored cigars. I hope to gain alot of knowledge from this forum and eventually participate in a Cigar pass if I am lucky. I'm currently stationed in Japan for the United States Navy and I just discovered the availability of Cuban cigars. I can't wait to get out and buy some. Hopefully I can get some good suggestions on what to try and how much I should expect to pay. So far my best cigar experiences have been a La Aurora Anos 100, a Romeo y Julieta Excibicon No. 3, and a La Aurora It's a Boy (shortly after the birth of my son). Some questions I have are what are some of the common used acronyms on this site such as ISOM. Also, what are some recommendations on cigar storage and humidors? I've seen some pictures on here using coolers for storage is this reliable? Thanks for all of your help in advance I hope I become a great contributer to this site.

Welcome to the forum, check out this link for some of the most commonly used terms:

What I like to do is pick up a bunch of samplers and keep notes on how all the cigars tasted and how much I liked them. Now the only problem is I have too many favorites and there are still hundreds I haven't smoked.

If you're looking for something cheap for cigar storage, look into a tupperdor or coolidor; they work very well. Do a search for construction information. Go to www.heartfeltindustries.com and pick up some humidity beads. They keep a rock solid humidity and have little maintenance. You can also find countless topics on this by searching.

Welcome to CP. You should post your intro in the Lobby because that is where people will be looking for it and that is where it is supposed to be. :0
