For just starting out get airtight Tupperware and a boveda 65% pack. Go to a tobacconist and get a recommendation at a cigar store. It's not cheap but you don't have to anxiously wait 2 weeks after buying an online cigar (they need rest and rehumidification after their truck journey).
ihavanas/cigarsofhabanos are your friends. small batch cigar has high quality samplers. Pretty much every other site is about bundling a bunch of cheap sticks together and selling them below what the manufacturer allows. This creates plausible deniability
>no we didn't mark down your smoke that much, we marked the other guy's down
Avoid Gurkha at all fucking costs. Shit sticks intentionally priced high at MSRP so they can be sold "86% off!!!!" at a price that is actually about what they're worth.

Save the opus x for a special occasion. There's a huge drop in quality per dollar after about the $12 a stick mark. It's not that the opus x is bad, it's just rare because the tobaccos are hard to produce. Buy a couple of them now and keep them until marriage/first child/divorce, whatever. They need years of age to be truly good.
