Yeah, those humis fill up fast. I started with a 50 (fool I was) and have since added a 75, a 300 and a coolerdor. And they're all busting at the seams.

For a new smoker, I would recommend something like a 5 Vegas Classic to start out with (excellent quality and value) and then work your way into stronger cigars slowly. I only say that because too strong a cigar paired with some whiskey can tend to leave a newbie hurling at the porcelain throne if not taken very slowly. If that's not strong enough, you can always move up in strength later, but a bad experience early on could put you off what should be a very relaxing and enjoyable hobby. Just my opinion here; welcome aboard.

I read the replies about adding humidor after humidor, and I have to laugh my butt off.  I started with a 120 cap because of recommendations I read here, and let's just say that I'm in the same boat as the rest of you.

Tizzle,

Save yourself some time and trouble, and buy a cabinet or start working on a walk in.  As far as your question goes, I had an A. Fernandez Signature a couple nights ago with a single malt.  I swear that after each sip of whiskey, the cigar tasted of grilled steak.  Really unique experience.  I also find that Man O War, Pepin Blue, Pepin JJ, Tat Hav VI , most full body Gerhkas, and just about every Camacho goes great with my stronger spirits. 

Then again, I went from mild to full body cigars during my first couple weeks, and never experienced the stomach distress that some have, so you may wish to start off with slightly lighter fare.

Ditto on the bigger humi, i went from a 50, then overflowed a tupperdor, added a 200 and now im over flowing the tupperdors again....time for a new.....

Welcome to the forums! Gentleman Jack and JD are my two favorite drinks, and I usually like to smoke a Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 or a RP Olde World Reserve. Both are good smokes, but if you're just starting out, you might want to stick to the Vintage 92 (vintage 90 isn't bad either). The owr is a full bodied smoke.
