First and foremost, I know smoking is bad for you. I am here for my question(s) not a lecture on my health. I have learned about smoking and tobacco products in school and from other people. It is my choice after all. Thanks!
I am not a very experienced smoker at all and I only have had a few cigs here and there. I don't even smoke a pack a month, which I'm proud of. I haven't ever had nicotine cravings or anything of that sort.
But I do want to learn about smoking cigars and what kinds are good for people just getting into that stuff. Any information will be helpful! Maybe any websites to visit?
What are good cigars for beginners? Best cigars out there?
What to expect when I go into a tobacco shop or Cigar shop?

Because they are not cigarettes or made anything like the same. The smoke is hot and much more acidic. So you'll feel very sick and probably be sick and cough a lot. They're more sort of 'puffed at'. Think "Short, not deep take-back along with plenty of half open-mouth air, then puff it outt". Not dragged on. Are you thinking multi-packs of miniature cigars? You want to choose a good (to you) 'taste' in your mouth. Massive fat cannister cigars (Cohiba, Romeo Y Julietta?) and the like are very expensive, take ages to smoke and you should consider 'special occasion' items really. Not very pc of me but a fat cigar and a brandy on a great evening is something I greatly enjoy myself. Personally found that cheap big fat cigars are positively vile though...gotta be a good one. Living beyond my means as usual!!
Any help? [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]

Our taste might not be at all like your taste. For example, I made suggestions as to what my daughters might want to wear, but they always rejected my ideas of what I thought looked great.
Just another thing to think about. If you've only smoked a few cigarettes, it's not likely been enough exposure to develope a nicotine craving. You go along thinking you still dont have a craving and suddenly one day you're doing without and all of a sudden you have problems. Like my friends who insist they're not addicted to caffeine and when they havent had coffee in quite some time are suddenly having the worst headache ever due to caffeign withdrawals.
Be sure this is something you really want to do. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
