How do you find new cigars to smoke?

I use reviews here and from CA and trust the palettes of others.

Finding out about not only new cigars but which cigars have been available for a long time is not hard if you just visit your friendly Club Asylum, read every cigar magazine you can find and visit you local B&M.

For me the problem is often being able to LOCATE the cigars I want to try. I only have two B&M within 30 miles of where I live and they carry what they carry. That leaves me surfing the websites of the reputable cigar dealers in hopes of finding the ones I want to try.

I listen to most cigar related podcasts, read huge amounts of reviews and then happily ignore them.

One of the fun parts of smoking my cigars is building up my own small database of what cigars I like in combination of what is available for me.
Quite a lot of brands are not readily available out here because most b&m's tend to stock up on cigars from that island a bit to the southeast of you guys.
For those other brands I have to rely on internet retailers that ship overseas.
It somewhat limits my choice of cigars but then again I don't get swamped by 15.877 brands with 23.566.194 different choices of size.

Sometimes I get a cigar I don't like -don't we all- but hey that is what neighbours, colleagues and family are for, right?
