From the US, so Cubans are out for the moment. At this stage, I don't think I'd appreciate them enough to warrant the effort/cost to secure them...

At the moment, I was looking at the H. Upmann Reserve No.1 or Vintage Collection, but I seriously have very little idea what I'm doing, just excited to try something.

Go to a B&M tobacco shop. Talk to the people there, they will steer you to a few to start with. Smoke them, return to discuss likes / dislikes. Repeat.

Good for you. I bet my cigars are better than Cubans anytime.

IME, B&M employees are terrible sources of information and reccomendations.

I'd rather get a recommendation from you guys, or just spend some time digging online. I've gone to two shops locally, with disappointing results (service, price, and advice) both times.

I'm a new smoker, and was looking for a sort of "variety pack" of quality smokes so that I could get a better idea of what I liked and disliked.

Many cigar forums have a newbie trade thread. I would recommend checking out www.cigarpass.com . Their newbie trade thread is here.

The thread is huge, but read through the first post, get a feel for how things go, and get involved. I would take the recommendations on cigar forums over B&M employees every time.

IMHO, the padron anniversario is the best cigar CURRENTLY on the market and...not a cuban! in general the cuban TTT Trinidad fundadore is the best.
