Enjoyed your story of helping a man finish his journey, and coming away with a part of him, Chaplain.
Many of us began our obsession with cigars by trying flavored cigars. Within a very short period of time, we tire of the artificially sweetened flavors and start enjoying the natural flavors of real tobacco leaves grown specifically to be enjoyed as cigars.
Try a variety of cigars made with different wrapper leaves, such as: Ecuadoran Habano, Maduro, Connecticut Broadleaf, Cameroon, Sumatra, Corojo, Candela, San Andres, Habano, Oscuro, Colorado and a few others.
Start by buying fivers instead of boxes, so that you don't get stuck with half a box or more of cigars you don't enjoy. Most of us store our cigars at between 58 - 65% relative humidity. The commonly suggested 70% RH is too high, causing burn issues with many cigars. Welcome to the Brotherhood Of The Leaf.
