Welcome, this place will definitely set you on the right path

I'd recommend starting out with some Arturo Fuente Hemmingways. Always a good starter smoke. I'm a huge Tatuaje whore, so I would also recommend picking up some Tatuaje Havana VI (red band) and some Tatuaje brand labels/reservas. If you want to splurge a bit try a Tatuaje J21. You won't be disappointed.

Hey Gussys!

:welcome: from Minnesota :waving:

Glad to have you here! I learned quite a bit when I started. Use the advice of the other brothers and try a variety of stuff. The conversation here will lead you in the right direction but remember that everyone's taste is different so what I think is great you may not care for.

No need to buy boxes just yet. My suggestion is to just buy 5ers and samplers (or even singles) until you refine your palate. That way you won't end up with a bunch of extra smokes that you may not be happy with. It will also keep you from draining your bank account in the process of pursuing you new hobby! My favorite smokes are the la Aroma di Cuba Mi Amour, Flor de las Antilles, Four Kicks and the Drew Estate Undercrowns but that is just me....your results may vary.
