Most important "tip" you got when you started

Don't inhale.
Slow down.
Never say you hate something till you had it more then once.
Smoke with friends.
Smoke what you like, don't worry what others think of what you smoke as long as you like it.
Feel woozy eat candy.
Drink water or something else that doesn't fight with the falvor of the cigar.
Have fun with it.
Never ever spit in the ashtray. It is gross.
