Backwoods are alright, if you have nothing else to smoke, then they’re fine. Probably the highest quality you’re going to get out of a gas station cigar, just make sure to try something premium before you pick up backwoods so you know what to look for.
I recommend an Acid Blondie Bellicoso to beginners, since the quality control is good, it’s lightly flavored with botanicals that you can look for in the smoke (helps you get used to tasting cigars), and is affordable (around $7-$8, depending on your state). Also, you can cut the torpedo cap with a kitchen knife so you’re not out $3 for a cutter just yet.
Anything by AJ Fernandez is also good for beginners, but really try the bellicoso. If you don’t know where to find cigars or might feel uncomfortable in a humidor looking like a noob, Total Wine had a nice humidor in nearly every store. Very quiet, and sometimes I’ll go in just to snnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiifffff ohhh god
