I'll start by saying I'm fairly new to cigars in general. I'd had one once in a while, and I got a box not very long ago. Henri Wintermans Corona De Luxe, I like them though I've heard some bigger smokers speak ill of them at times...

So, I was wondering which cigars you'd personally recommend (preferably, but I'm fairly flexible regardless, cigars I'd be likely to find at most local tobacconists). And I was also wondering which cigar cutters any with experience would recommend. At the advice of a friend I purchased a double guillotine-style cutter, but have absolutely no experience with any others and I previous just bit the end off which I've heard is bad as it doesn't allow an even burn which messes up the experience.

And price doesn't matter too much as I don't expect to be a regular smoker, moreso one who smokes on special occasions, celebrations, that kind of thing.
Cheers.
