I hate to dog the selections here at ccom, but I swear I'm about to quit buying samplers altogether if they don't stop throwing in those padilla achilles. I bought a box of them on a weekend blitz a few months ago and, while they taste good, they have horrible construction and they don't burn well unless you draw on them constantly and heat em up...I dunno why, but it seems like ccom has a lot laying around or something, cause they keep trying to get rid of em...lol.

Sorry I can't exactly help on the beginner sticks because I myself am kinda beginner. Though if I can I try not judge a cigar on the first smoke unless I like it. If I don't and it wasn't crazy expensive I will give it another try because I have had a few that I didn't like but came around the second time.

The consensus seems to be to try a variety and see what you like. I tend to agree. I'm a gurka, alec bradley, rocky patel dude with a few additions and I found that out by trying lots of smokes, lots of different flavors and then weeding down what I liked. You can start with sticks that are rated high and see if you agree with the rankings, good luck!

Hey Willy, welcome to the boards. Lots of great info here so I'm glad you found it. I was a big fan of 5 Vegas when I started out and the Series A is still one of my go to sticks. The Gold would be a nice choice if you are trying a few new mild brands out. When I started out I ordered a few samplers, like many of the other's have suggested here and tried about 25-30 different blends/brands before I found 4-5 that I really liked. Life's a journey and so is finding a great cigar, best wishes to you on both.
