Any recommendations for a newbie?

Since it's a special occasion, I'd go with a Padron Anniversary Maduro, either of the 1926 or 1964. A bit pricey, but hey it's a good excuse to splurge a little

A couple I loved when I started that I still enjoy are La Gloria Cubana Wavell Maduro and Cuesta Rey Centenario Torpedo(the sungrown is tasty, too)

I'd say go with the Natural wrapper. Those maduros can be asskickers for someone who doesn't prefer them.

I would suggest an Oliveros King Havano any size. They are very reasonably priced & quite good. If you prefer a very smooth & mellow smoke, one of my favorites is the Don Kiki white label. Those are one of my favorites and the price is hard to beat.
