Welcome to CS. Why not introduce yourself and let us know who you are a little bit, what you enjoy, what brings you here, etc. We like questions, we just want to know who we're answering them for. We're a brotherhood of sorts - not the yellow pages.

As for your questions:

On the dizzy bit - I've had the same thing happen to me - interesting things happen when you mix strong cigars, alcohol, and a hot tub. But yeah, you get a little queezy. Like MC said, he probably just got a bit too much nicotine in his system. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure you eat beforehand or it might happen again.

On your humi - cubancrafters are fine; they have a good reputation - most of the guys here will tell you your box is going to be too small for you in no time. Just make sure you season your humidor properly before putting your cigars in them - otherwise, your sticks will dry up really quickly. Here's a guide if you don't know how:

On your sticks - I'll be honest, I've never had 'em. Mebbe one or more of the other guys can shed some light on 'em. Depending on your price range, you should try Arturo Fuente cigars - they run medium-full body and you can get samplers around the web for about $3-4/stick on up. Other mild sticks - 5 Vegas Gold ($3-4) up to Montecristo White ($7-10).

As a beginner, my advice is to start trying a bunch of different sticks - mild, medium, full - some will kick your ass, some you'll find light. Most likely, the more you smoke, the fuller you'll like your sticks.

Hope this helps - now post an intro!
