Look around your shop. Talk to the regulars. See what they are smoking. They aren't smoking Rocky Patel's, I guarantee you. You'll be surprised who is sitting in your B&M, and you can learn a lot from the guys.

I would say this about buying cigars. You will quickly tire of the mild/medium, and ramp to full bodied in a hurry. Then you'll taper off, and find out where in the nicotine spectrum you like being. For me, I shot up from mild to full-bodied Tatuaje - to a point where I was smoking multiple a day - then eventually found my zen with mild cigars, in about a 6 month period.

Don't overbuy. But try everything. You will waste a lot of money in this hobby. But it's worth it.

Famous Smoke Shop and Holts are a couple other places to check out as would be JR's Cigars.
Even though I've never had an issue with them, only ordered twice, most people hate Thompson's so stay away from them. I don't even order from them anymore.

Most assuredly, B & M's are my first stop anymore. My local shop, now that I know where it is and what they're inventory looks like, carries most of what I smoke plus the prices are comparable.
That's why I don't order from the 'T' any more.

if found the Rocky Patel edge, Montecristo #2, and any La Aurora make a nice mild-medium sampler... and at a nice price

Just a tip from one novice to next. Some great advice I got from several of the guys/gals on here was to buy the small sampler packs. They give you such a variety and I been keeping a journal. I have my own rating on what I like about it and what I didn't like. I critique it and put would I try it again, only a few I said never. So try the samplers on some sites like Cigar, CigarMonster, etc.

One of my favorite so far has been a CAO Gold Maduro. So I have one of five. :D :D
