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.
