Welcome!! You may not think you have a lot of experience with cigars but you do. You've smoked enough non-Cubans to be able to appreciate Cuban cigars which in my opinion is the way to approach it. If someone who is brand new to cigars smokes a Cuban cigar chances are they will not like the experience at all.

Now, this is not to say that Cubans cigars are the BEST, they're great but to each his own.

Smoke what you like and like what you smoke!
