Question
i have been smoking cigars for about a year now but i have only been buying the ones from the gas station like swishers, phillies, dutch masters, and granadiers now im ready to get some real cigars so i was wondering what would be the best one for me to start with.

Answer
Josh,

Start with something mild, and if you like them you may want to start trying others. here are some suggestions:

Macanudo Cafe
Avo Classic
Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real
Ashton Classic

These will all be available at your local cigar store. If you'd like to try some of our cigars, try our Finck's Toro Taster. It has 8 different cigars in it, from mild to medium in strength. The box sells for $26.95 and is available at www.finckcigarcompany.com

Let me know if you have other questions.

Expertise

I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.

Experience

In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
