I have always wanted to try my hand at making wine. Any advice for
beginners?

Read everything on Jack Keller's site. (http://
winemaking.jackkeller.net/)
Then get a good book on the subject. I believe Jack recommends
several.

Start out with something simple. A reasonably good wine can be made
from Welches Niagara concentrate.
If you live in North America, that shouldn't be hard to find. You'll
need a few items before you start; e.g.,
carboys (glass jugs), a racking cane, campden tablets, etc.

Alternatively, you could start with a kit wine. Your local home
brewing shop should have several to chose
from.

Here's a good place to start... http://www.geocities.com/lumeisenman/

I'll second Greg's recommendation - making Niagara from concentrate is
a simple and inexpensive way to start. I just made up a batch -

Kits are even easier, because everything is included and pre-measured.
They're more expensive though.

Terry Garey's "Joy of Home Wine Making" was my first book, and it's a
great way to start if you're interested in country wines (wine from
almost anything other than grapes).

I'd try a kit. They're pretty much fool proof as evidenced by my ability to
make good wine.

Good luck!

Have you ever tried in making home based cigars? You will find it more interesting than making wine.

Home based cigars? No man! I would love to try them. Could you tell me the recipe of Cohiba Cigars!
:-D

How about this store that sells Cohiba Cigars? Are these original?

And yes, have you guys ever mixed wine with a cigar? Oh My God! They both taste great when amalgamated.
