what should i get?

5 Vegas, all of them. Oliva Serie G, Serie O...hell, all of them too. Cusano 18 and P1 series.

urbino

Nestor Reserve, Perdomo ESV '91 seconds, Gurkha Sherpa.

PuroFreak

Onyx Reserve. One of the best Maduro cigars for the price. If you find the right place you can get a box of 20 for around $50.

Scrambler

You've already gotten some solid suggestions, but I'll add the Rocky Patel X-outs. Especially the Liga C (Olde World Reserve).

Garen B

Nub anything, pretty good price for a helluva cigar. Scram has a good suggestion with the RP X-outs, pretty much the same cigar as the firsts for a whole lot cheaper.

I'm pretty new too, the Oliva sticks as mentioned are very nice, and I've become a big fan of Punch. I ordered the cigar.com sampler off the site here and some of those sticks are surprisingly good. I'd recommned giving it a shot to see if there are any you like. I've been really liking most of the smokes CAO makes as well, particularly the Italia.

I did the same when I started, just ordered a bunch of different sampler packs and kept trying different stuff.  Im sure you heard this before but everyone has a different taste, like food, wine and beer.  So get a couple buddies and try em all!!!! Thats half the fun.

It's really the best way to become acquainted. There is a lot of really good cigars out there. Lately I've fallen in love with petite cigars/cigarillos, CAO and Punch are both awesome in the smaller sizes. You just have to smoke them slowly.
