Although I'm seriously considering making a cedar lined Igloodor...

When I got hooked, I got hooked hard.

Stick with singles, there's no reason right now for you to commit to anything more than a 5'er (and even then maybe avoid that for a little while).

When I was limited to a 50 count one of the biggest mistakes I made was dedicating half of my humidor to a bundle purchase I made. Great sticks, but it really limited my cigar selection. While I should've been trying new things, I instead was mostly smoking that one cigar.

Once you find some favorite sticks and have the money, upgrade the storage and buy 5'ers. Even then I'd avoid buying full boxes (unless you go through a lot of cigars). Personally, my tastes changed so much within the 6 months of really getting into the hobby (this was after 5 years of casual smoking) that I was left with boxes of cigars I loved just a few months back that I no longer cared for.

That's a very good point. That's what makes the most sense and it seems to be the general consensus, so my mind is made up.
