So, newbies and good smokes don't go together?

Everyone should start with Dunhills and Davidoff's and work their way down to Cremosa's <sarcasm>. Why rush the process? If you start with the best of the best what's to get excited about? I enjoy the process. I agree with ucla695's post above, except for the cigar recommendations...buy CC's.

On the recommendation side; Parti Shorts, RASCC's, SCdlH El Pricipe's all smoke well fresh to my tastes. Oh and Mag 50's, I'm aging some for sure but I could smoke these fresh a couple times a week no problem. I think there are many CC's that are very good fresh. And there have been some great deals on semi-aged stock. Too easy for this noob(6 months smoking experience), and I'm an idiot(several people will attest to this).
