Good morning James and welcome to the forum, it's always great to have new voices getting added to the mix!

I have no doubt that you will find a glut of information, advice, and camaraderie from the rabble over the weeks and months to come

Yup - this is what i would also say, much more stable, usually holds more cigars, and cheap as chips! Certainly whilst you are starting your cigar journey, may be worthwhile parking your coin on more sticks to sample!

Welcome along

I would certainly get a Tupperware box and a Boveda pack if you don't yet have a humidor - keeps your sticks much safer

In terms of what to smoke - my recommendation if just to try as many cigars as you can. A good place to start is Petit Corona sized cigars for all brands (most Cubans will have one) and then branch out on what you like from there

David thank you for the advice
