unfortunately, the really good cigars aren't cheap. storing them can also get expensive.
i started out by just getting singles that were marked down out of the shop's humidor.
also, try posting at clubstogie.com they tend to pay it forward on samplers to new members
well , i already started setting one up. not exatly a humidor , but a 'coolidor'. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gifhttp://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=121846&highlight=cooleradorHey, you should find a local cigar shop and only buy when you are going to smoke. Shouldn't be storing them unless you have a decent humidor setup. Takes a while to get one stable too.
As for suggestions, one of my favorites is a Rocky Patel - Old world reserve. Awesome cigar.
Rocky Patel Edges are pretty good too - On the cheaper side and a little more mild.
