if you get interested, start with something on the gentler side, and dont go cheap. a bad cigar will turn you off of it forever if its your first one. dont touch anything like the Romeo Y julieta - thats a great smoke, but only if you can appreciate it - its medium bodied so it will probably turn a non smoker away. I'd avoid churchills, and go for something like a Corona, petite corona, conchita, or a laguito.
you'll want to get something more aromatic, and smooth. the one i mentioned before, the Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur would fit that bill for sure - tho they can be annoying to find these days. i don't see stores carrying them anymore and i have to go online for them.
just because i recognize im speaking greek:
theres five components to a cigars name
Shape, size, color, brand, name
Shape size and color are all shared among all cigars.
Heres some shapes
Paraejo - most common one you'll see, and is what he is smoking here.
Torpedo - another very common shape
Presidente - fairly uncommon, you dont see many people other than enthusiasts going after these
Perfecto - Exactly like its name implies - this is my favorite.
Heres some Sizes
Churchill - generally considered to be the ideal cigar size.
Cigarillo - these are what you see sold in the convenience store mostly.
All of the sizes i listed off for you before (Corona, petite corona, conchita, or a laguito.)
