Greetings, found my way here from the dead cryptic thread. (Thought this one was specifically for creating your own and passing it on, but I'll stick my general noob queries/befuddlements here.)
So, if you haven't seen, The Nation has 5 puzzlers vying to replace the late Frank Lewis:
http://www.thenation.com/article/159126/five-vie-puzzlers-mantle?page=full
I solved my first-ever complete puzzle today (Nestor Nightspree's) but I gather from online pundits that this one was easier than the norm, and not particularly well written.

finished nestor's (except for the bismarck clue). pretty facile, but not unfair. never come across that spelling of 'cigaret' before though.

Yeah, facile's the skill level I'm at at present. (This still took me a couple days, off and on.)
