I think that's a great idea for a newbie like myself. My question is: Do you have any recommendation for a paring that may be interesting, and more importantly, inexpensive? I don't want to waste a smoke since I probably won't be relaxing and enjoying them, as much as analyzing them.

Based on yor last sentence, if you won't be relaxing and enjoying them, why bother?

To educate oneself for the benefit of future relaxation and enjoyment.

I'm a firm believer of no pain no gain! But seriously, it's not like it'll be painful, just it won't be the same as if I have a cigar in hand, drink in another, and just stare into sunset kind of enjoyment.
