Seeking advice about cigar shops

[Sime83]

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here.

I'm fairly new to cigars, I've learnt lots by reading this forum and watching YouTube and so on. I'm only just starting to get into the different flavors and tastes of cigars as I now know how to light and smoke them properly to get the most out of them (it's amazing what a difference it makes)

I'm in Amsterdam in a few weeks and I've looked on the internet and found some good cigar shops I'd like to visit. I'm just wondering what the correct "procedure" is when going in. I don't want to look like a complete amateur in there haha. Can you explain to someone what flavors you like and what you prefer and then they make suggestions? Or do you just go in and try to find something you like the looks of?

If anyone has experience of Amsterdam shops it would be great to hear from you, as well as what sort of prices I would be looking to pay for something decent but not too expensive.

I've had some horrible cigars and some that I really like to I'd like to get something I'll enjoy rather than go in blind so to speak.

many thanks,
Simon
