Welcome from the US of A, specifically Virginia.

Really mild smokes to consider and the price are pretty decent:

5 Vegas Gold
Perdomo Reserve Champagne

Amen to Reserve Champagne, I wish they were around when I started smoking....

Another interesting try for someone new would be the Cuvee Blanc by Cusano

Welcome from Cali.

They might be a little strong for a first smoke but I always recommend the Hoyo De Monterey Excalibur line......Conn or Maduro wrapper (Maduro being a little sweeter). This was the first cigar that I truly learned to enjoy. It's more medium in strength but I guess strength is all relative to the individual. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I must check out my nearest B&M.

I guess what attracts me to cigar smoking, beyond reading how much some of you guys enjoy it, is the smell. I can't stand the smell of cigarettes but I've always loved the smell of cigars, I think they have a wonderful smell and that makes me want to try one myself.

Welcome from Canada.

I started out the same as you. I love the smell of cigars and pipes. And now here I am, sharing my interest with this great community. Browse around, you'll learn a wealth of information.

Welcome from the Land of Lincoln. My first smoke was the El Diablo (not made now)

I'd suggest an Arturo Fuente 858

Well I finally got aound to visiting my local B&M today and they recommended I try a Macanudo Petit Corona. How does that sound as a first cigar based on what I'm looking for? I won't get a chance to smoke it until Monday, but I'm looking forward to it already. Wish me luck!
