Welcome Ryan, from another newbie!

I'm trying to branch out myself and am in kinda the same spot as far as price wise. I don't want to spend over $10 to sample a cigar without really knowing what I like first. I know alot of people hate this site, but it has helped me alot. Cigarbid.com AKA the devils site. I've found very affordable samplers on there that have a wide varity. Also check out advertisements in magazines like popular science. They sometimes advertise sample packs very cheap and very good selection.
From what I can remember I found a sample pack of 10 cigars for $15 shipped. I didn't know anything about cigars so wasn't familar with their names. But from what I can remember I got:
1 vegas 5
1 CAO
1 Perdomo tradition camoon X <-- That's what hooked me!
1 Indian Tabac super fluerte Maduro
1 gurkha

and some other stuff... Not bad for $15 bux.

Check around for samplers, read alot of reviews, listen to these guys, and heres another link thanx to CgarDan http://secure.thompsoncigar.com/defa...code=PAC-t6712

Again welcome to the board, and good luck on your search for the perfect smoke.
