    Default I like cigars less and less...

    ...No, dont get me wrong I am not starting to hate cigars.
    But there seems to be a smaller group of cigars that I enjoy.
    I am still in the experementing stage, about 3 1/2 years. I had a cigar last night that looked beautiful, great wrapper , felt good and it tasted good until it was lit.

    I do seem to be slipping away to the darkside but dont want to go there 100% quite yet. There are lots of good n/c cigars out there.
    But do I have to go thru all of the shitty ones to find more of the good ones?

    Yes...it makes the good cigars that much more enjoyable.

    I'm seeing the samething happen to me. I no longer enjoy a Connie or some of the other cheap cigars I used to enjoy. I feel a bit like a brand snob but I have almost been exclusivley smoking Torano and Padron lately with an Edge thrown in if I have the time.

    I feel your pain! N/C maduros (heminway maduro, anejo, etc.) seem too sweet and don't have that twang I like.

    The mainstream good ones I still enjoy for the most part.
    It is the secondary and obscure finds that I used to enjoy.

    Alex Bradley HSG.(I used to love them) , Olivia segundos..(I still love them but cant find anymore). About a dozen others.


    My tastes, they keep changing.

    One N/C i smoked recently and enjoyed was a Black Pearl by La Perla Habana, the Cobre Robusto. It had a real smooth "tabacco" taste to it. Been trying to get my hands on some, but the local guy doesn't carry them. Off to c-bid.

    It's like everything else in life......until you have had the best you don't know what you are missing. That can go for food, cars, women, whatever. I think all of us go through that natural progression with cigars. It's hard to swallow Jim Beam once you've tasted Crown Royal!

    Here is a quintessential "case in point" on different tastes. I used to like these, but the last two I smoked tasted flat, and I got no enjoyment from them whatsoever. We just have to keep trying different ones, and as our tastes do change, we narrow the field. SWYL,LWYS.

    Fortunately life is much too short to smoke crappy cigars. However you won't know the good ones till you've had a couple of Moose Rockets :D

    Keep smokin', there's still plenty out there
    Its always a good time for whiskey

    You cannot hold out. Let Cuba take you.
    If given a choice, choose an enemy over a fair weather friend. For you will always know where the enemy stands.
