Newb help

Hello everyone. I know there are probably hundreds of fourms with the search for advice for newbs, but im looking to find some help. I have been looking through forums for a while and now for some reason clicked on this one and decided to join! But I just purchased a humidor from Thompson Cigar along with some cigars and need help. Should have done this first.
What I bought to start was this combination , a solidly constructed cedar-lined divided cherry humidor whose quadrant hinges, humidification system and hygrometer make it a veritable vault to protect your puros. With these cigars 5 SOCORRO ASSORTED NATURAL; 5 CORDOVA ROBUSTO CONNECTICUT; 5 THOMPSON COROJO CUBANO TORPEDO COROJO; 5 DON LUGO ASSORTED NATURAL; 5 PHOENIX LONSDALE NATURAL.
I then went off and also bought some more cigars that may be different cuz they were cheap and I want to find a decent smoke that I can enjoy at home and on the golf course. I then bought a combination of Cohiba Lonsdale, CAO Criollo Pato, Gurkha Legend Presidente, La Gloria Cubana Wavell, Cameroon by Rocky Patel Robusto, Rocky Patel Sungrown Toro, and CAO Gold Maduro Robusto.
Maybe I got ahead of myself but I have always enjoyed smoking cigars and im really looking to get started. I was wondering if these are a good option for a newb or if I just threw away my money? I dont know anything about this Humidor nor the smokes for that matter. Hope I didnt create a problem for myself down the road. If anyone has any info on this stuff or what else I should do to enjoy my newly found hobby. Thank you for the ability to post and your thoughts!

Im not quite sure the size of the humi...I guess I was being a cheap-O being new to all this I didnt even pay attention. But Im glad to hear that the other smokes I invested in sound like a good smooth beginner smoke! I will work on acquiring the taste for bolder flavor!!!! Need to break myself in first! But thanks everyone for your help so far and I look forward to writing with you guys and learing the world of cigars...
"Long ashes my friends."
I have smoked two T******* house blends.
im not sure if you have ever had an infused cigar, but i find that all infused cigars have a very similar taste beyond the flavor they are being infused with. ...almost like the process of infusion has a taste of its own. All T******* sticks seem to have that flavor. so are they infusing it with "maduro" flavor? or "tobacco" flavor.
If so, how bad do those leaves have to be to have to be flavored like what they are?
iduno... my opinion is smoke what you like. dont expect the cigar to be good because it is hand made.
unfortunately, you have alreday made a purchase from T*******. if it has not arrived, dont expect it to be what you ordered. they have a way of not telling you stock is running out. then there is some fine print somewhere that states they will replace it with something "similar"
...and you are now stuck dealing with those guys forever.
I have just heard nothing but bad things about em.
