Check out your local listings for a tobacconist. Usually referred to as B&M's (brick and mortars) here in the forums, visiting them one day on a whim introduced me into the world of cigars. He provided me with information, provided suggestions for cigars based on my beer preferences (color, strength), and overall, didn't pressure me into purchasing something expensive. Instead, he encouraged quite the opposite, having me try cheaper smokes first. As my tastes became more refined, I tried better sticks, but I feel I had at least a little bit of education behind my purchases and cigar selections. Just an idea.
