Welcome to the boards! Hi from the middle of no where in John Day Oregon. I am a noob too. Just got my coolidor set up recently. Will be getting in on a noob sampler too as soon as I have the cash to spare. You will find every one here really good at helping you out with questions. In my opinion you should go for the coolidor as big as you can afford. It is the best bang for the buck. Get some beads and a digital hydrometer. Belonging to this board you can expect to be collecting all kinds of good cigars in short order. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the boards as much as I do. Roger.
