Hello, I’ve been enjoying NC cigars for several years and just recently obtained some Cohiba Siglo 1 and 3, Montecristo 5, Partagas Mille Fleur, and Trinidad Reyes for my collection. Looking forward to enjoying them and want to get so many others as well. I like cocoa, wood, and herbal flavors mostly. Sometimes I like a bold non pepper flavor and sometimes a light flavor.

Welcome to FoH. Spend time on our forum and I am confident that you will work out which Cuban cigars are closest to the flavour profile you mentioned.

Thanks all. I’m picking up lots of good information and some feedback already. 

I’m currently pretty close to retirement age (broad as that is) but didn’t get serious with premium cigars until a few years ago. My journey started however when I was in high school. I would enjoy some of my dads white owl, swisher sweet, not sure if there were any other brands. I didn’t know at the time how to smoke a cigar, But I didn’t inhale like I did when trying cigarettes. I just didn’t care to and instead enjoyed the smell of the smoke and the flavor. I never took up smoking cigarettes and later when In college and afterwards, I had the occasional backwoods. Fast forward to much later, I had my first actual premium cigar. A Fuente Chateau Natural. It didn’t hit me with the perfect flavor of grass, hay,  but it began the search and thus the hobby.
