Practically None. I'm in my mid thirties, and never smoked a cigarette in my life, other then a drag here or there in my teens... to see what my friends were enjoying so much. It disgusted me (and still does to this day).
I started smoking cigars about a year ago, mostly local brands purchased from the Dominican Republic, like Santa Ana, Vista Real, and Noris. In total I have smoked less then 50 cigars in total. Now that my supply of cigars from the DR have run low, I have begun purchasing cigars from local humidors in the Greater Toronto Area. I've bought based on their recommendations, reviews read online, and price. (Cigars are disgustingly expensive in Canada. Cohiba BHK 52's and Padron No. 45 are selling in the $100 range).
My hope is my experiences will be useful to other new comers to the hobby from someone who is not a connoisseur, or expert, as I have found my experiences vastly different from those who do regular reviews.
Enjoy
