I've Not Written Off Any Brands Yet

I'm really going out on a limb here but I won't smoke anything made specifically for Thompson.

Amen to that.

But in the case of this thread, for me there is a difference between trying and buying. There are certain brands that I will never again lay down cash for based on so many bad experiences. However, if somebody said, "Here...try this new blend from _________" I would try it with an open mind.

Yes, I must admit I have written off Thompsons. Ordered once, had more problems with that order then all the other orders I have made combined.

It's hard, if not impossible for me to write off an entire line. For me, variety is part of the fun. I tend to like much of what I smoke. But I was so close to writing off CAO. Until I tried the Brazilia. That's one fine cigar. Haven't tried to GOL and Italia yet, but I'm thinking I'll like those as well. But didn't like the others I tried, including the MX2.

Very close to my experience with CAOs as well....the only ones I really liked were the Brazilias, and that's they only reason I didn't write the line off.

For the record, I tried the Italias, thinking much like you did...but I did not care for them al all.
