it would really depend on what you like so far , so it would be difficult to recommend a box for you. I would say definitely consider something that you have smoked before and really liked. Then look around for a deals on boxes of them. The first box can seem like a life long commitment but you can get a box, smoke some and let the remainder rest and come back to them later. If you are just getting started, that is how the slope works and you will soon be looking for more storage.
