Cigar Humidor

I’m already a smoker, and I was thinking about trying out little cigars. I’m totally new to this, so what’s the best type to start out with?

When you buy a few cigars do you ever get one of those little disposable humidors that you soak in water for 20 minutes? Do they work well? They are supposed to be good for a few months. Anyone know about these?
