Spend money on a good humidor that will hold 100 to 150 smokes.Ask your local B&M dealer to help you season it properly,or check the threads here for procedures.
Get good extras like humidifier and hygrometer,the cheap stuff does not last and may not be accurate
Put off box purchases until you have had time to try lots of smokes and your palate has advanced a little.A good deal on a box you do not like any more really is not a deal.
Try the sampler packs available,generally the cost per smoke is reasonable and you get more exposure for your money.
If you are interested in ageing,try some of the pre aged smokes from Patel and others to be sure you like the profile.Some of the folks in my group prefer new smokes,some prefer aged smokes.
Ask questions or check out the wealth if info available on this site.There are a lot of members who have been down this road ahead of you,who are happy to make your trip more enjoyable.
