Hey Cliff,
Have you smoked cigars before? If you have and had any particular impressions, I could definitely point you toward some gars that would fit your preferences. FWIW, I belong to a private cigar BBS and am very enthusiastic about cigars. As a matter of fact, at present I have about 2000 of them.
JRCigars is indeed a great resource and vendor, they have decent prices on a wide variety of cigars. Last time I checked their site won't sell singles (as opposed to boxes) but if you call their number they will sell single cigars to you.
If you've never smoked cigars before, I would recommend something very light and approachable. The Ashton brand mentioned above would fit the bill (but avoid the sun grown!) although they're fairly pricey. Macanudo is a very popular light brand, currently the best seller in the US. I would particularly recommend the Macanudo Portofino, which is has the added advantage of coming in a tube. That's pretty handy since I'm guessing you don't have a humidor to store your cigars properly. Macanudos are way too light for my tastes, but they're a nice place to start and will not knock you over.
I'm always happy to share my expertise in all things cigar, so let me know if there's any more questions I could answer.
