Don't smoke a Bolivar if you are not a regular cigar smoker. Even if you are a regular cigarette smoker, the Bolivar will probably make you sick or at the very least it will be unenjoyable.

If you want fuller flavour but still manageable for a n00b, have a look at Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagas and Hoyo de Monterey. Which cigar depends on the ring gauge preferred, the length of the smoke preferred and of course, price.

I'm currently working my way through a box of Cohiba Esplendidos which are sublime but they're a very long smoke at 80-90 minutes.

I'd still put Cohibas down as retlatively full flavoured.

I'd recommend a Vegas Robina (not widely stocked) or something simple like a Montecristo No.4 (widely stocked).

You might also want to look at some tubos (individual cigars in metal tubes). I know a couple of girls who smoke Romeo y Juliette tubos, but that's not to say you are a girl, just not used to smoking cigars. I keep them and am pretty partial to them as well.

SExy time for you :D

Can yourecomend a good brand?

Want it to last a fair while and be quite strong.

Probably the best strong cigar I have had from there was a Monte Cristo #2, also try some of the Indian Tabac cigars.

If you want something lighter they used to have a cheap Joyas de Panama.

1) write it down and show them, give it a shot at saying it at the same time if you want, but no one will object to that
