Welcome!
I'm Swedish but currently live in Switzerland and been smoking cigars for 2-3 years. Definitely a bit more since the move here as a lot more cigar friendly (plenty of lounges and more or less always OK to smoke at outdoor seating in cafes and such).
For cut I would say I'm about 50/50 between V and straight, just depends on mood.
Regarding favorite cigars not sure if I have any right now. Usually come back to RyJ wide Churchill and Partagas D4 but lately would say mostly been smoking stuff from Davidoff and Plasencia
