My opinion on what's important for a first time cigar smoker, or anyone who doesn't have enough experience to know what flavors they like or don't like. These tips will give you a good start with cigars. My strategy is to reduce the chances of poorly performing cigars which will allow you to think about flavors and start to decide what you like or don't like. Once you start feeling like you've formed some opinions on what you like or don't like on a cigar, then making choices on flavor profile should be considered.
