finding your cigars of choice

Hitagain · 03-19-2012, 03:26 PM

I always tried 2 before I desided if I like them or not sometimes the first may have just been a bad stick. I had a good collection going and then had sinus surgery and now my tastes have changed, so I'm starting over myself after having all my cigars mold because of a uncalibrated Hygometer. Long story that would make most cry.....I know I did.

Something that I found helpful was to smoke a cigar to see if I like it, then find some reviews of that stick and see what flavors other people were pointing out. As a new smoker I could not decipher woody, nutty, leather, cream, etc. I just knew if it was tasty or not. Then find reviews with similar flavor descriptions and try those. Many will have similar characteristics, but vary in flavor and will send you down the right path finding new sticks that you may enjoy even more. But for the first year basically just try a lot of different stuff - take some notes and see where your preferences lie. Between reviews and suggestions from a B&M you should begin to find some sticks that stand out as exceptional to you. 8 years after I started smoking, one of the things I find most enjoyable is that there is always something new to discover with this hobby.
