    I would definitely start with more mild cigars, and work into bolder.

    Here is a great article from Cigar Aficionado for new and old cigar smokers:

    This is a fun moment for you Corey. Don’t overthink it too much. It’s good to ask questions but you will definitely learn as you go. My first cigar, over 15 years ago, was a Macanudo with a Connecticut wrapper (Claro - light wrapper). It’s usually a lighter smoke. Learn the terminology but you will also learn what works best for you. Enjoy the adventure.

    I like the Perdomo Lot 23 Conn and Macunudo Cafe in the morning. You might want to try those. Enjoy.

    Hi Corey, Welcome to Cigar World

    I'd checkout some of these education articles. They may help you get started finding something new to try.

    https://www.cigarworld.com/education/best-entry-cigars-from-cao-cohiba-macanudo/

    https://www.cigarworld.com/education/beginners-cigar-buying-guide/

    I'd also run through our find your perfect cigar

    https://www.cigarworld.com/cigars/find-your-perfect-cigar/

    Once you go through the find your perfect cigar you should be able to see some cigars and when exploring those, I'd start clicking through the tasting notes and pairings of things you like. That can greatly help you find a new cigar to try out. Also on each cigar we provide a similar cigars section that helps you see other cigars with similar tobaccos, flavor profiles and tasting notes.

    and @Cigar_Steve

    have any other suggestions?
