My Introduction

I have been browsing for a few weeks and just wanted to say "Hello". I'm new to the hobby and found these boards to be a wealth of great information. I actually bought a humidor a decade ago and started to have a smoke here and there, but since I didn't have any friends who were interested, I lost interest. About 3 weeks ago I dug out my humidor and took a look inside. I gathered a lot of cigars way back in the day and they have been in my humidor since (and probably ruined). I have a Macanudo, an Ashton an orinoco, Bering, a "PS" (whatever that is) a Punch and and a flor de jalopo (whatever that is). I'm sure they are all ruined asfter having been improperly stored for soo long, but I'm going to smoke 'em nonetheless. I also got my order of Purple Label Sampler which I plan on trying this weekend.
I got an interest in this 'hobby' again really because of the culture. I found a great smoke shop with a smoking parlor and I like the idea of taking an hour or two out of my work week, getting out of the office and relaxing for a spell. In my last few visits I had a Fonesca (or maybe Fonseca?) a Manga (which made me sick, to be honest) and the shop's house brand, which are rolled right there in the store.
Any 'beginer' advice would be greatly appreciated.

Suggest just doing more of what your doing. Try different stuff - see what you like and what you don't - note the differences (what were the wrappers, brands, sizes, etc.) Use the search box at the top of the page to see reviews that go with a cigar you are about to have or have had recently, see what everybody else thinks.
What's lost is lost. You can try to bring your old smokes back, the right humidity won't hurt them now. You will want to season that Humi before you stock it again though. In the mean time use tupperware and a ccom pillow (something I learned about on the boards). Don't see what you are looking for on the boards; Google it, then bring what you found in and see what feedback you get.
Great culture here from what I have seen as well. You'll like it a lot. Happy smoking!
Like what the others have said so far, one of the best things you can do is to just cast as wide a net as possible and try different sticks. Since you are just starting, I would suggest trying a variety of mild-bodied sticks and then work your way up to fuller-bodied smokes. The Ccom Purple Label is a great mild stick to start with. Check out some of the samplers that are available here. You may also want to give the Ccom guys a call for recommendations.
In all seriousness this place is AWESOME! The best group of people I have never met in my Life! I am sure that One day we will find a way to get a HUGE CCOM HERF together.
Pitch them Sonabitches and get some decent smokes... As was previousley said those might turn you off to the hobby again and then the Beard wont be able to smell his Fingers anymore ! LOL
