Welcome! As others have said, try out the newbie PIF and buy lots of singles/samplers. You will also find that cigars you enjoy right now you may not love 12 months from now. So, to repeat others, dont' buy boxes yet. I know they offer savings but, don't over commit just yet.

Oh yea, and buy a humidor at least 3-5 times the size you think you need.

Welcome man! Buy yourself a good sampler pack from CI.

I recently bought this for my father:

He loves it, and loves how it keeps getting refilled thanks to me.

Also a humidor is a must for this hobby, buy one 2-3 times the size you think you will ever need... I went about 3 times the size and its already half full... Humidors help keep the relative humidity of your cigars in check. Keeping your Oliva and Padron lovely's you just bought outside a humidor for a week will absolutely ruin their flavor and take those winners and turn them into dog rockets. So get yourself a humidor as soon as you can.

And finally, if you have any questions, come to the boards, everyone here is very helpful to our fellow BOTL's.
