Peter is wise.
It is not advisable to buy boxes when you are starting out on this trek. What you like today you may find does not appeal to you in a few months. Some find it useful to keep a journal of the cigars they have tried. Then sample others of the same brand to see if it is a brand that appeals to you across the board. But also take note of the wrapper type and the country of origin of the tobacco.
For instance if you find an Oliva you like, try other Oliva's in different wrappers or blends. And take note that Oliva is made from Nicaraguan tobacco and try others using the same tobacco, they wont all taste the same.
Check out the Newbie Sampler Trade as a good way to taste what others are smoking. Sample as many different cigars as you can until you start narrowing down your tastes and developing your palate. Read reviews of the cigars you smoke to see if you taste similar things. Have fun and enjoy the ride.
