Do not buy boxes until you know what you like,,,it shouldn't take long for you to develop and find your interest. I have been smoking for almost 40 years and I still come across cigars that are new and taste great and I won't buy boxes until I have tried at least 3-5 of them.

Very solid advice! A lot of people lose sight of the fact that in this hobby what's "good" is merely an opinion and very subjective. There are no objective measures for taste.

Thanks again all

That sampler definitely includes some of my favorites. The only additional cigar I would like to see in there is an Illusion. The El Centurions in my opinion are one of Pepin's best cigars.
