How do you buy/pick the cigars you get?

Seems these days I buy at least 2 boxes, in case they are good right now then I don't feel bad smoking them, while the other box gets older and yummier.

But then I have been smoking a long time and have a good idea of what I will and wont like.

When I first started trying NC's I would be 5 at a time, I dont think you can give any cigar a fair shake on just one so a second or third is sometimes necessary.

Now that I have come away from NC's I am comfortable enough in my buys that I wait for deals and buy multiple boxes.

I almost always buy boxes, but I have tried enough different sticks to have a good idea of what I like. I think sticking with five packs is the best bet until you really know what you like. I ended up buying boxes too soon when I got into this hobby, and then my tastes changed and I had a whole bunch of stuff I had to sell to make room for new smokes.

When I do buy smokes I usually look for good deals; if there are none that grab my attention I look at my "need to buy" list and choose something that I have been wanting to buy.
