This is my first step into cigars ever.

I have the humidor, i have the taste buds, and I have the will.

But what I don't have is the lingo or knowledge base of cigars to know what I'm buying.

Is there a place where I can learn what the difference between the fillers. And the difference of the wraps so I can better select my type of cigar?

Here us good. For quick reading cigar afficianido has had good articles if you can access them on computer. Maybe library in periodicals. Wikipedia has a good database. Google for sure

Noob vet trade 37 in trades forum would be your best bet however. Read the first post, trade or purchase to trade cigars to a vet of the site, for a variety of cigars from their collection for you to try to see what u like first hand.

Can't beat it.

Join the vet/noob trade and you can trade for a very good assortment from your vet. This will give you an opportunity to sample all kinds of cigars and figure out what you like. Of course when you smoke them, you'll want to read up on them to find out what kinds of fillers, binders, and wrappers are used as well as the country of origin.

And you'll also learn a lot by reading these forums.

Welcome to the wonderful world of cigars. Enjoy!

Welcome Snixon.

I think you'll find that there are about 60 great regular guys and 3 Azzhats here. Won't take long to figure out who the Azzhats are!

Bid on some of the samplers here. as you smoke more, you will start to see some trends is what you like and don't like. You will find that some brands tend to fit you better than others. It is a process of trial and error. you will also find that your tastes change over time. What you like today, will likely not be what you like a year from now.
