The ronsons are great lighters, however, with my fat fingers I find myself getting burned more often than not so I opted for a Blazer -- which I love. They are a bit spendy for a plastic lighter from China, but they are very reliable. You can find similar lighters that are much less expensive at Deal Xtreme (which Adam (T.G) referenced above).

Also, as others have stated pick yourself up some cigar samplers from the online sites. They are an inexpensive way to try a lot of different cigars -- which will help you hone in on what you do and don't like about cigars.
