It's an interesting hobby and definitely addictive. I don't get to smoke much but I find myself reading reviews, going to the local cigar shop to peruse, and checking the condition of my smokes in the humi. It's really therapeutic...lol Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forums. Might I suggest buying 5 packs, daily deals, and mild-medium sampler packs to find what you like. For mild sticks, I like AB Occidental Reserve and the Augusto Reyes Nativo.

Watch the daily deals for a good selection of sticks at good prices. You will find what flavors you like pretty quickly although it will to continue to develop over time.

Welcome and get involved on the trades passes and bombs. Best way to try new stuff you prob. wouldn't have bought otherwise.

Welcome to the forum. As far as your question about metal lined humidors, there's been some discussions on here before about them (may be able to find them through the Search function). In general, if it's sealed well, and the metal isn't rusted or oxidized (which I think you said it was...?), it will actually work just fine - you just don't get the same smell of cedar when you open the humidor. As for finding cedar to recover it...well, I have no idea. I know there's places to buy it, but I've never been able to find em. You could try tearing up a bunch of cigar boxes and putting that up.

You can buy sheets of thin spanish cedar on Ebay for around $4 a pop.

Welcome to a great hobby.

If the inside of your humi is oxidized metal, even just a little, I would never use it for cigar storage. The rust could affect the taste of your cigars and stain them.
