First Month of Cigars

I've started from cigars from the convenient store that costs $2-3, to real cigars that costs $4 and above. It's been a long journey I've come and I'm glad I've made quite some progress.
Cigars are just like wine, the source, the storage, the utensils, the mood and food pairings are crucial for enjoying a great cigar. There was a time when I doubted myself, I wasn't sure if cigars were the thing for me. The first few tasted really bad, and I feel light headed afterward. However with a few adjustments here and there, I have burnt into this new hobby; not habit.
What do I mean? Just like wine, most of the time when people don't like the taste, its mostly because it tastes bitter, acidic, and it stings the mouth. The same goes, its actually the temperature of the wine, the quality of the wine, the glass you drink it in and the food you're pairing it with.
Anyway, these are some notable cigars I've tried. With every cigar I've had, it was a great time with a great story along with it.

At a LCDH, Yorkville. After you buy your cigar from this place, you get a seat at their patio, and they'll serve you water/cuban espresso for free. Just a couple of bucks more per cigar, and you get a good cigar, good spot to relax, good drink to accompany you for a great afternoon =)

One of the first cigars I've bought from a new Cigar store, JJ's Smoke Shop. Humble friendly owners, very helpful. The quality of their cigars are superb! great construction, perfect humidity and aging. The oils on each cigar gives them a great seal of quality. The taste of this cigar is alright, extremely affordable only $4 a stick. I can't wait to get my hands on the other cigars from the other lines.

Romeo y Julieta No.2 Tubo from a great friend Alex Nishta who just went for a trip to Cuba. I told him what I wanted through telepathy and my order came threw within a week. I highly suspect the ones on the left are fakes, but they still taste good. RyJ cigars are usually mild, smooth smoke, creamy. The 4 on the left are from Cuba, the one on the right is from a local store here in Toronto.

There has been ups and downs through this first month journey, but I've come to love this more and more. Its something that I really enjoy and I hope my friends could experience this with me as well, properly.
