Your tastes will be unique to you, but if you are like I was, unaccustomed to nicotine, try and stay away from "nic bombs". Try and smoke on a full stomach. Otherwise, just try things! There are lots of solid cigars that don't cost and arm and a leg.

As far as lighting a cigar just avoid matches, candles and anything lighter fluid based. Bics, butane torch lighters or cedar spills are all good. Don't worry about toasting properly and all that yet.
