Cigars for beginners

aaron2,

I suggest you find a tobacconist in your area and visit them.  They are professionals in smoking tobacco of all kinds.  They have fresh tobacco, cigars, ciggarettes, pipes, even chewing.  They will give samples to try, you may even hook up with a new friend as there are smoking areas where you can sit and enjoy a  good smoke with others. 

enjoy and let me know the outcome.
