If you’re new to cigars, welcome! Here’s a quick guide to help you choose your first smoke and enjoy the experience.

Start Approachable

Look for a creamy, medium-bodied cigar—these are nutty, approachable, and easygoing. Ask for a Connecticut wrapper or a classic Robusto size.

Don’t Overthink Size

Robusto, Toro, or Corona are all great for beginners. They’re an easy format to pace.

Ask for Recommendations
