Theres a bunch of ways to tell but once you smoke the stuff these guys send you, you will definitely be hooked. Trust me, I never had a cuban before I joined here and these guys made sure I won't forget my first.
If I may. A suggestion. Don't spend any money for a bit. Give it some time. If it isn't all too obvious just yet, you will get to try some of these relatively soon. Find out what you like before jumping into THAT side of the hobby. Enjoy the cigars everyone can get locally and try to discern the different tastes. It's really better for you overall if you can enjoy all the cigars out there...some of us are completely taken by the "darkside" and honestly, it's kind of shame. Ok, long and rambling, my not being able to post during the work hours is making me verbose. Long story short, take it easy and slow...and don't order anything that doesn't come from JR's, CigarsInternational, Cigarbid, etc, just yet.:grin:

C10,
Theres Plenty of good Advise here. Jason's in particular is Sound. There are Many Good even Great NC's out there. Take Your time, the only way to FOG-Hood is through trial and error. When I first started I literally knew nothing about cigars. Do Yourself a favor and go to the Library and check out a couple of books. Perlmans Guide to Fine Cigars is a good primer on the subject. Learn about The ART of Hand Rolled Long Leaf Cigars. There's tons of info available on the subject. One key thing to remember is.....Everyone's taste is slightly different. One person might say a NC Fuente Hemingway Signature is the best cigar, others might say that a Padron Anniversary Maduro(PAM) is best and yet another likes the Torano Signature line best.
The Best Cigars are.....The Ones that YOU like.
So, take Your time and try as many as You can. A side bar to that is, Any House can have a Bad cigar. (this includes Darksides) So, try not to judge on one sampling.
For me, I unwind with fine cigars, I smoke them slowly and savor them. Many people new to the art rush through a smoke. That can ruin many cigars. If a smoke is harsh or Hot on Your tongue, slow down. It's All about enjoying the time.
Again Welcome to a Whole New World!
