Newbie

I am newly introduced to the realm of cigar smoking, so bear with me while I muddle through the basics. My intention is to learn and re-live each moment by recording my experiences. Here are the first four:

Acid Kuba Kuba
This cigar was my first. Good thing too, since it has become the watermark of my short experience. This is the cigar to which I will compare all other cigars. My cherry popper. My first time. My Acid Kuba Kuba.
It was so good to smell, sweet and rich. It tasted great as well. It turns out that they add spices and sugar to the leaves so that it tastes and smells appealing to those of us who were born after the actual Cuban crisis.
A+ in my book (and it's only on the preface)

Arturo Fuente
This cigar was stronger - it told you it was a cigar from the first time you put it up to your lips.

Padrón 2000
I partook of this cigar while seated at a bench on the side of the Mississippi river. I puffed confidently now, while casually observing the local watercraft and water fowl activity. It was the perfect day, perfect temperature, perfect slight breeze. I enjoyed this cigar because of it's smooth taste left on my tongue. Light and woody.

Romeo y Julieta Aniversario
Very tightly wrapped - difficult to punch as well as light. Kept a tight ash but also difficult for me to keep lit due to my slower style of smoking. I have a smaller and infrequent draw.
Full taste yet still light on the tongue.

Note: I use a cigar punch rather than a cutter. I am opposed to the tobacco getting stuck to my teeth and the punched hole limits the escapees.
