Newbie in need of some help

Thanks for the replies so far. I live in Columbia S.C. if that helps.

Bill...I will look into the Illusiones, I have heard some good things. Any one in particular for a medium body?

I've found MOST of the Illusiones to be medium body, however the Holy Lance was definitely medium - full towards the end. I had the Candelas though if that makes a difference.

I would bet with most B&M's having the boxes sitting on the shelf for a good bit, sothey should be a bit older (certainly not fresh like my Candelas were) and would be right around medium. You could always lift the box and check the date on the bottom. 2011 - probably closer to medium full, 2009/2010 probably closer to medium. If I had to guess......

I would try the 88, CG:4 and Epernay (they have goofy names so I forget, whichever is the Coronas Gorda size 46 x 5 3/5)

Try some Perdomo products such as the Lot 23 or Champagnes. Rocky Patel sumatra or sungrown may also be something you'll enjoy.

Here is what I found in SC:

Like Larry (Ogre) said go to your local B&M and talk to them, tell them that you are new to cigars and you are willing to learn, if they value their customers they will take the time to show you the different cigars they have and ask them to recommend 2-3 for you to sample and if they have smoking area light up there.

Good luck and
