Matches are a massive pain, unless you literally only smoke indoors. Get 4 of these - you will misplace them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184140768264. Needs way less refilling than my slightly nicer ?10 one.
Or something nicer of course, but it doesn't sound like you want to drop ?50 on one? (I haven't).
Same with cutters really - I find cheap plastic double blades (usually get one free with your first order from cgars or whatever) cut just fine. Metal ones are mildly nicer, but I'd skip them and go straight to a ?30 premium xikar xi2 or colibri if you want a bit of fancy.
As for cigars pretty much try everything - I like some cheap ones, some expensive ones, try em all.
Welcome down the rabbit hole.Stay smoky

Welcome along Max. Many if not most cigars smokers were non-cigarette smokers before taking up this passion.
Enjoy reading the wealth of information on the forum and go with the previous suggestion.
Small acorns and all that!
Have fun!

Welcome. In addition to the advice you have already received I'd suggest once lock down is eased a trip to JJ Fox as you are in London. They have an excellent walk in humidor and will happily give knowledgeable advice to a newbie.

Welcome down the rabbit hole.
As for the cutter, I'm very tempted to try a cheap/free one for the first couple of cigars and then invest in something more premium.
Thanks for the advice!

Welcome to the forum Max, it looks like you’ve been well taken care of with some great recommendations so I don’t think I have anything specific to add. Some general advice would be to try everything and don’t necessarily be put off by something that’s not a “beginners” smoke. I didn’t enjoy coffee until my mid 20’s because everyone told me I should try it with lots of milk and sugar and I hated it, one day I tried it black and have been in love ever since, moral of the story what others say you should like is not always going to be what you will and you need to find that out for yourself through experimentation.
