Hello All.

I am a complete newb when it comes to all of this. I have enjoyed cigars for a bit, but I want to started expanding my taste buds. I dont think I will become a 10 year collector or have 50 cigars in my humidor.

I have a few basic questions:

1. Is a humidor necessary for 2-3 cigars a week that I will smoke? If so, what are the true benefits of having one?
2. Can I just get a basic cigar box?
3. Any certain recommendation's as far as brands to try for a rook?

I am a huge fan of the Romeo Y. Julieta 1875 Clemenceau. Are there any similar? What are some good mild to medium smokes for a rookie? I dont want to spend an arm and a leg either on them. Prefer to stay under $6 per stick.

Also, are there any must knows for rookies?

Greatly appreciate the time and effort to clue me in.
