What cigars have you "fallen out of love with"?

[Metallifan33]

So I started smoking about 6 months ago. I quickly found cigars that I liked much more than others. Then I found my Ah-Ha cigar (P1964 Nat). So much so, that I bought a box; my first box... (that was before joining BOTL and reading the noob threads... that predict specifically what I went thru . I loved that cigar (and still do) but not nearly as much as I did during the first 3 or 4 months, and never thought I'd think of it any less (especially after I started going online and seeing how most other brethren love it also). These days, I could chose a LP9, Anejo, or certain Tat's over the P1964 depending on my mood.
So this makes me wonder:
What cigar did you absolutely fall in love with (possibly bought a box), that now you feel is just good or OK?
.. Is it a noob thing? or does this still happen with you more experienced brethren?

I think it's only natural as your tastes and preferences evolve. When I first started smoking I preferred the stronger NC sticks but for the past year or so have been on a severe CC kick, in no small part thanks to clowns like @AlohaStyle , @ChefBoyRG54 et al...

bought boxes and boxes of stuff I've smoked through and do not reach for anymore.

Happens to everyone. Like Brent said, tastes and preferences change.

For me it's more of a "variety is the spice of life" thing. When I first started smoking on a regular basis I did not have enough time in the saddle to be able to experience all of the variety that this hobby had to offer. I discovered San Anderes wrappers and thought I had found the meaning of life. Over the last several years I have simply just smoked a lot more cigars than ever before so I have tried more things plus new cigars have come out which has led me in different directions. Yes, I still really enjoy cigars with a San Andres wrapper but they are not the only thing that I smoke anymore. If I did, life would get awfully boring.

The best way I can describe it is to relate it to my eating habits. I really like pizza but if I ate if every day I would lose interest after awhile. I also like steak and tacos and spam sandwiches and bratwurst and many other things, all of which I do not eat every day either. I mix things up so I have some variety and am able to enjoy all of them.

I try not to smoke the same cigar (brand/vitola) twice within a 2 week period by filling my travel humidor with 10-15 different sticks (older and newer stock). Long ago, I was on a DPG Black and Blue kick then got sick of them. I recently smoked a older Blue and it was fantastic (and the four years rest only had subtle balancing effect). Variety is the spice in life, corny but true.

Glad we could be of assistance

Nearly every CC......color me stunned.

spam sandwiches

Ugh! Seriously? Spam is the Gurkha of the food world.

I agree with you Joel.... For a while I was buying CCs more than NCs.... They just don't do it for me for the most part any more.

This post will show my age.

Back in the nineties when the Internet was strictly for porn I only could get good cigars made in the Dominican Republic. Nicaragua didn't even exist as a cigar manufacturing location. We bought what was available at the B&M.

In the early 2000's I went through my cc phase, then in 2005 -2006 I knocked up my wife twice in one year, we had Irish twins. I didn't resurface till 2008 or so and I have been smoking Nicaraguan since. Past year or so I have been smoking some CC.

Variety. .. the natural way to reboot our taste of cigars. I like and have about 25 brands that I currently smoke but what fine tunes that taste and keeps it fresh is variety.

I respectfully disagree. Spam is the Opus X of the food world IMHO

PS...Don't let @sean hear you say that. Insulting Spam is akin to saying SoCal in his world.

Viaje. They didn't do anything wrong it is me. Had to sell off almost my entire collection to put toward a down payment on our new home. That was hard to do but the family is happy. I started getting more into my pipes and think I will be doing that for a while so I am selling off what remains of my Viaje. It was hard and took a long time to build that collection. I may rebuild someday.

Unfortunately or fortunately, Tatuaje cigars, mix of not smoking them lately and getting bored of some of my old go to's

Hey, you can put down another man's taste in cigars, but I will not sit by and let you bad mouth the wonder meat called SPAM!

 

[Kantucky]

I fall more in love with spam every time I eat it

Are you sure that stuff is actually meat?

It's like the short-filler machine-made cigar of the meat world... Maybe...?
