How do you buy/pick the cigars you get?

I generally buy cigars by the box. If I am trying something new I will get a five pack.

I mostly buy cigars by the box. Much cheaper. I usually buy cigars I have never tried before and want to try. I don't think I have ever been disappointed. I do a little...very little research first and look for a good price.

Now to get me some more.....

I think you are on the right track for a new smoker. Smoke as many different brands/wrappers and sizes as you can. Samplers are a great way to start. Begin with Mild/Medium and move up to Medium/Full. Take notes if that is your inclination, especially noting the country of origin and wrapper type. Try others that have similar construction. For example if you find a Honduran Corojo that you like such as the Punch Rare Corojo, then try another Honduran Corojo like the Camacho. Also you will find that you may like a particular size but not all sizes of the same blend. Dont give up on a smoke, if you buy a fiver and find that after the first two, they are not to your liking, revisit them in a few months and you may find that the smoke or your tastes have changed.
