    Sumatra is usually wrapper leaf originating from indonesia, which has its own flavor charicteristics, maduro is a leaf that is usually from the higher, thicker primings of the plant, and has gone through a specially extensive fermentation process which basically cooks the leaf and releases the sugars which usually creates a more mildly sweet flavor. and Honduras is a nation in central america known for priducing stronger, more round flavored tobacco and cigars.

    A good route to go might be to try one of the atomic samplers.

    I'll second this notion and add that when you do get the sampler, spend some time researching each cigar. Ask people on here what their thoughts are on that cigar, and smoke your way through the sampler. This would give you a good idea of the flavor profiles of some different cigars, from something mild like the Gurkha's Park Avenue to the full bodied power house 601 Green Oscuro, if you go with the Scorched Earth Sampler.
