Smoking cigars is just like everything else in life...preference. I began smoking mild to medium sticks and my tastes have evolved into a more robust and powerful choice of stick. As Joe jokingly stated, "try them all." Get a couple of sticks in the vitola (size) in which you are comfortable with and take it for a ride. Don't always give up on the first try because at times you will enjoy a stick more the second time around. Also, keep a small diary of the cigars you smoke, keep track of a cigar's attributes as well as its shortfalls. You can always go back to that little book and refresh your recollection of how you felt and how it tasted at the time you tried it. I hope that I have been able to answer your question, if not, keep asking and the BOTL on this board will chime-in in no time.

Good Luck and enjoy your smokes!!!

Steps to choosing a cigar:

1. Open humidor
2. Look around for a cigar
3. Close humidor
4. Open Second humidor
5. Look around for a bit
6. Close second humidor
7. Open wine fridge
8. Look around for a bit
9. Close wine fridge
10. Go back to one of the other humidors and look again
11 Finally some time later I have a cigar in hand

Really sucks. I need to come up with a better way. I waste so much time. And forget about packing for a herf.

Generally, I know what most of my "usual" sticks taste like. So once I decide that I have the time to enjoy a cigar, as I head to my humi/cooli, I pretty much decide what I am doing to smoke, based off my mood, available time, distractions, stresses, and time of day. Then I pop open the humi or cooli, and pull out what I have decided on.
...moving along...nothing left to see here.

It all depends on what jumps out at you when you go to pick one out.

I also started this hobby buying mild/medium smokes....5 packs, boxes, shipping containers...LOL !!! Very quickly my tastes developed in wanting stronger, full flavored smokes. If I could pass any of my still evolving knowledge on to someone newer than me, I would recommend buying nothing larger than 5 packs for 6 months or so. I stocked up on mild smokes that are just laying around now. Not they are bad smokes, but they are not what my taste buds want now & it's very hard to go back !!!!!
