Welcome to the madness!

Try some samplers to help you find your way. If You prefer the flavored cigars, a Tabak Especial is hard to beat.

Jokers right, get in the nood trade thread, lurk around and see what people are talking about.

Get involved with the noob trade when you feel your ready, your vet will be your mentor along the way. There are a ton of sites that you can snag awesome deals, stick with samplers for awhile until you learn what you like.

Got a humidor yet? If not check out mother ship for a starter kit that includes humidor. You can snag a pretty sweet setup for $40 shipped to get you started

Welcome, but a serious word of advice. Most noobs make this mistake, no matter how many times they are warned, but I'll say it once again. When you find smokes you like, don't buy more then a 5ver for at least the first year or two. Your tastes WILL change, and the last thing you want is a cooler of smokes you no longer enjoy.

Welcome Saulter. The "yall" made me look, there are several good cigar shops in the Fort Worth area where people will be happy to advise you and sit and smoke with you. The one in Lake Worth is great, also the one on Green Oaks Blvd. Hide the credit cards now, six months from now will be too late.

I agree with Dave 100%. I made that mistake when I first stared and I still have a bunch of smokes I enjoyed at the time, but are much too mild for me at this point.

If you are serious about cigars, I highly recommend using a 48qt or larger size cooler for a humidor. I have not found its equal for humidity and temperature control. Do a search on google for humidity beads. I believe they come in 65% and 70% humidity. They are great for regulating the moisture.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the madness!

Well I don't know how often I would say that I agree 100% with Dave (LOL), but in all seriousness he is completely right. After about 6 months (I am back on 2 years after a 10 year Hiatus) my tastes changed dramatically and the mild cigars I like 2 years ago would barely get my attention first thing in the morning anymore. And most definitely seek out of BOTL/SOTL(Brother/Sister of the Leaf) to help you along your journey to cigar Nirvana. I know Dave (King of the cheapo cigars LOL) will agree with this, just because the cigar is cheap/inexpensive doesn't mean it is garbage. You need to experimental a little. Cigar "quality" is in the taste buds of the beholder
