    As I said im new to cigars and I want to try a sampler pack and im not sure what to get I love a good tasting cigar but all I have had is the cheap ones from the convenience store like backwoods swisher sweets garcia y vega,Stuff like that I was wondering if anyone could recommend a fairly cheap sampler pack.I also want to know if I need to get a humidor because I probably wont have a great number of cigars at once.Thanks in advance David

    If you are looking to get an idea what you like and are on a budget I'd pick up one of the Cigar.com House samplers. You'll get a decent variety of great sticks for a nice price. Until you find what you like stick to buying samplers or a fewer sticks at a time. Don't jump in and buy a box until you know for sure what you like.

    Well, the daily deals on here are pretty good, but if you want a good sampler, you can check the sampler portion of the site or just order the cigar.com sampler with house blends. It gives you a good idea of what different blends bring. A lot of people here will say they are well made and a good product. I will also agree.

    Also, be sure to take your time smoking cigars, the other one's you've been smoking you can get away with it, but with real cigars you need to take your time, otherwise you'll get harshness and a burning taste. Be sure to let us know what you get, and welcome.

    I wouldn't get a humidor to start. If you're not going to have any more than say 5 sticks at a time you can get a humidi-bag which is essentially a ziploc bag with a humidification pillow in it for like 6 dollars to keep your cigars fresh.

    Welcome to the board and cigars. One of the samplers to check out is the 90+ rated sampler with jar humidor. It has lots of good quality sticks that cover a range of flavors and the jar makes a decent beginner humidor until you know you want something more substantial.

    If we're talking samplers, the one higgs mentioned is good. This one is also good, Link!

    Everytime I see that jar I cringe. I'm not sure about this, but it seems to me that the light from the clear jar would damage your stock. I guess you could just keep it in a closet/drawer, but that seems like a let down. What do y'all think?

    ive never heard any where that light would damage a cigar, unless we are talking about direct sunlight, but thats a different story all together.

    I would check out one of these two: http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?prod=SP-CIGTP13 or http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?prod=SP-CIGTP14 And just keep them in the ccom bag they come in.

    If you are good at building things then go ahead and make one. I know that some people on here have made their own. They can offer suggestions. For the sake or time and sanity I would buy one myself. I am not good wth building things and I have no patience with certain things.

    That's what I'm thinking. If you're up to it go for it. For just starting out I'd spend just a few dollars and get a small 60 count or something maybe.
