I don't know why you guys call this a forum... hardly any of you are willing to help.
Take this with a grain of salt because I'm a fucking newb.
Anyone who has come here and said they don't need a decent sized humidor usually ends up with one. That is why I said don't buy a 20 count humidor, get a larger one. When a humidor states that it will hold 20 cigars, that is based on "corona" sized gars. In reality, you will probably only get half of that in there.
If you think 3-4 sticks is what you will have on hand, get a glass container or tupperware container with a resealable lid and a small humidification device. It will save you some money until you end up buying a much larger humidor (which you will). Based on your needs, your local cigar shop will be of more help than this forum...for now.
Cigars and taste are subjective. I have read a ton of threads on here and I have no idea what are considered beginner. Again, I would suggest buying from your local shop and asking them to get you started on some decent cigars.
This forum may be different from others you belong to. I belong to various automotive, fishing, and RC forums and this one is very different in the way it is run. That is what I like about it. The people here have been more than helpful and generous, but they don't put up with BS or drama. Post less, read more are the words to live by.

Basically what VM said. Go to your local tobacco shop they probably have some little humidity pouches, probably $.99 or so, et a tupperware container that will hold your 4 or 5 smokes, buy smokes, Punch, Montesino, La Gloria Cubana, Arturo Fuente and Padron are good places to start., I might suggest Gispert for a nice mild smoke if they have it as well. Now soak the humi pack in distilled water, important, and put it and the cigars in the tupperware container.

I'm pretty new to cigars too. After finding this forum, I read through the Reviews extensively and made a list of cigars to try.
If you click on the "Cigar Forum" button on the menu bar at the top, you'll see "Review" in big bold letters. Click on it and start reading.
What I can tell you is as I've smoked more cigars, I find the ones that once seemed strong now seem "medium" and the ones that seemed mild are well, dull boring and not worth smoking any more. What I'm saying is, as you smoke more, your taste developes and changes and you "acclimatize" (for lack of a better term) and they don't seem as strong as they once were. I would start with "mild" cigars and begin working your way up in strenght once you've had some.
I suggest you read reviews and make a list of mild to medium cigars (ie: you do not want to smoke a Camacho Triple Maduro on an empty stomach with your morning coffee at this point in your cigar experience) and buy from that list one cigar at a time and try them out and see how you like them, or not as the case may be. When you find something that appeals to you, buy a few so you always have some handy.
VancouverMark is right about the humi. I'd invest in a 50 if you've been enjoying the cigars you have smoked to date. I started with an pretend shotgun shell 8 cigar travel humidor and bought a 100 count humi shortly thereafter. This x'mas my wife got me a 500 count humi. I'm hoping to have to buy a 1000 count in a year or two.........lol. Just FYI, I've been smoking cigars almost 3 years now.

Thanks all for now I have found a different forum more willing to help. I may stop in here every now and then but for now ill be at cigar asylum. Im doing a Tupperware with boveda packs.
Didn't your question on beginner cigars get answered in your thread from February?

Not sure how this place is deemed unhelpful...This place has tons of info as well as a great amount of people that will go out of their way to help new smokers out.
By the way...What's a hump pouch?
