I too, am a novice, but have the benefit of a good friend that is somewhat of an afficianado. I'd agree with In2 on the Macanudo Maduro. Most are rather forgettable to me, but that Opus X he supplied me with last week was one smooth smoke. I'm looking forward to another, preferably with a good cup of coffee, perched on the corner of Caroline and Duval watching the 'bolts go by.
