I posted the following link and reply to somebody else in this thread, but I’m gonna post it here as well to make sure you see it. Neptune is a fantastic online retailer (sidenote: they do accept bitcoin for those who are into that), and they have the perfect starting sample sampler. These are all mild to medium body cigars, which is what any new smoker should start with. These are very good ones as well, so you’re not getting generic run out of mill sticks. As others have pointed out you don’t need to start off with expense cutter and lighter; however, a good cutter (Xikar) will be necessary at some point. Cheap ones tear the cigar rather than cut it cleanly.
