What should i buy???

One bit of advise I'd like to offer is that you should not try something new, then give up on the brand entirely if you did not enjoy that particular cigar. Remember that they are organic handmade products, and the best cigar you ever smoked may be sitting right next to the worst one you ever tried to smoke, both in the same box by the same maker, and even the same roller.

Besides, it's sort of like sex . . . you may be over- or underwhelmed with your first experience, but tastes can stabilize with repeated attempts.

Interesting, so are you saying that if you smoked something u really didn't enjoy, you would still buy that cigar again?

Don't just try one brand and make definitive judgement. Lots of labels share manufacturing duty's. Like AJ Fernandez makes some cigars for Graycliff, Ghurka, 5Vegas etc. He (they) don't own the entire line just make certain cigars for the other company's.

Example. I did not care for any 5Vegas I tried until the "AAA", It was totally different from the other I tried before and I really liked it. Come to find out it's made by AJ (which I have obviously recently came to love).

I have also started getting at least two of each stick to try at different times to help eliminate "a bad stick" or "bad cigar day" (Because some days I light a maduro when I really should have had a Connecticut etc.

Just smoke lots. Then smoke more.
