Welcome, Aria!
I, too, am a beginner in this - though honestly, there is so much to know and learn about cigars, I feel like I could be buying, aging and smoking them for 30 years and still be a "beginner"!
Here are a few I've enjoyed as a beginner myself, that are also not hard to find at a decent price point. I've included some brief info on their flavour and strength profiles so you have an idea of what to expect:
Man o' War Virtue torpedo: It's just recently (the last 2 months or so) that I've really come to respect and love Connecticut-wrapped, mild-to-medium bodied cigars, and this cigar single-handedly opened my eyes. It's got a delicious, toasty flavour profile with a strong accent of vanilla. It burns true, and it's not overwhelming in the least. Just nice, sweet flavours.
Padron Delicias in maduro: This cigar is as darkly coloured as coffee beans, and has a rich flavour of espresso and cocoa from start to finish. It's closer to being a medium-to-full bodied cigar, so you may want to eat something before smoking it. The flavour profile is rich, dark, and decadent. One of the greats, in my books.
Capoeira aluno (Cuban corona): Capoeira is a brand exclusive to Famous Smoke Shop (and all of their sister sites - so check out Cigar Auctioneer!) and is very affordable. Even the MSRP for a box of these is less than $100. I got a box off Cigar Auctioneer for $45. The flavours are dark, toasty, and spicy. It has a core of black earth, surrounded by flavours of coffee bean and a touch of dark chocolate rearing its head throughout the burn. At the price, it's hard to beat.
Diesel Unholy Cocktail: Another A.J. Fernandez blend (he did the Man o' War Virtue as well), this cigar is on the other end of the spectrum from the Virtue, providing full-bodied, full-flavoured goodness, and at a near unbeatable price point (boxes of 30 can be had for less than $100). This extra chunky torpedo is wrapped in an oily and toothy Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper, and its flavours are of spicy tobacco, rich dark chocolate, and a core of earth. It also has a really nice sweetness that lingers on the palate during the finish.
Well, I hope this helps! This is just the beginning, and like I said, these are cigars that won't hurt your wallet. Once you've decided whether or not you're in this for good, I'm sure you'll be overwhelmed with recommendations that will require more serious spending.
and I remember I loved the aroma.
