What's important isn't the price of the cigar you're smoking - it's whether or not you enjoy it. I like lots of sticks that are inexpensive, and I hate a lot of cigars that are expensive. It has nothing to do with the price, it all has to do with what I like in the cigars I enjoy.

Maybe look into the Newbie Sampler Thread for some kind of sampler. Or ask Mangyrat for some kind of trade.

Keep smoking.
