I started smoking cigarettes over 30 years ago, but quit about 2 years ago. About 15 years ago, I attempted to take up pipe smoking, but couldn't get the hang of it. (Perhaps I could give that another try).
Some of you may recall, a couple months ago, Cigars International offered a 3 cigar sampler pack, shipped, for $1. I took advantage of that just to give it a shot. Not bad, but 2 things:
1) They took about 45-60 minutes to enjoy. That's great if I have the time, but it would be nice to have an option for a 15-20 minute smoke, too.
2) SWMBO was turned off by the aroma of 2 of the 3 (and the 3rd was just "not bad"). When I smoked a pipe, my main tobacco was Captain Black Royal; she liked that.
So, any recommendations for some good, aromatic little cigars or cigarillos? I'm completely new to this, and have no ideas even what's out there and available.
