Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Seems like I go through this a lot. I want to try different sticks, but I'm craving a particular cigar badly. What do you do?

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Is it still called double fisting?

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I usually succumb to the craving, hence the overstuffed singles drawers. :)

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Go with what you want.

:tu

Well today I decided to succumb to the craving. Perhaps after dinner I'll have a cigar I've never smoked before.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

If your craving it then smoke it brother! But you have me wonder, what was you craving, and what was new to you?

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I smoke what I am craving although I have a mini debate a few minutes prior.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Double-fisting? In a way, maybe. On the one hand, you know what you like and know where you can get it. On the other, you may be missing something you'd like just as well, if not more. Variety may or may not spice your life, yet it does let you know what options are available. That's why retailers offer 5-packs and samplers, and why nutz like us invented box-passes.

Bottom line, there's no either/or answer, IMHO.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I go with what I'm craving too. I hope you enjoy the one you haven't tried. :)

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I have a humidor specifically for that purpose.

1 drawer split between Lanceros and everything else.

1 drawer totally Oliva.

1 drawer totally Camacho.

The other three Humidors?? ;)

If I am craving a specific stick...that's what I grab! :tu

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I agree with the double fisting statement, although it sounds kinda dirty. Smoke em all!! Life's too short.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I seriously have this problem. I have about 300 singles and many great cigars I have never tried. I know what I like though and I tend to stick with what I like. All this time in the humidor on those other sticks should be wonderful when I get around to them.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Well I decided to try a DPG Vegas Cubanas Toro. I am enjoying it. However, does not live up to other Pepin sticks I've had. The construction, draw, and burn are all great. The flavors seem to be pretty locked in at cedar/woody with a touch of spice and occasional leather. It's also "dry" - seems to make me drink lots of water. Not bad by any means but it's not making me start checking box prices like the Tatuaje Red did the other day.
It kind of reminds me of the CI Legends Pepin, but the flavor on the CI stick is better IMHO. All in all, an enjoyable smoke - each cigar is a learning experience :tu

That's not a bad problem to have at all :)

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I've got a plan now. I've got so many bomb and PIF singles that should keep me busy for at least a year to give my regulars some rest:tu

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Flip a coin I say.:tu

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I have a hard time answering that... cause so many times I am craving a certain stick and then I will go and stand in front of the humi staring. Most times I talk myself of what I went there for and try something different.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

If it's a specific, intese craving than that wins, but I always try to smoke something new :)

I rarely smoke what was originally in my head.....What I see in the humi usually changes my mind....Not a bad "problem" I guess :D

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Sadly, most often I find myself not smoking what I am craving...only because I have none of that particular stick in stock...as for new stuff, I have to smoke them all day long, most often its total crap. At least when I am done with that side of the job, I get too smoke something more in my profile...and, to find what my profile is, it has taken ten years of trying new things. So, in retrospect, I smoke more new things than what I crave...

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I ususally find myself fired about about trying new stuff. I have been smoking awhile but I am still so new and there is so much stuff out there to try. When I do crave a certain stick I am in the same boat Andrew I usually don't have in to grab anyways.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

I usually have no idea what I want when I walk up to the humidor, I decide once I am there...

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

If I am craving a particular smoke that is usually what I try and smoke but more often than not when I open my humidor it's a crap shoot and I grab whatever looks most appealing to me at the time which is why most of the sticks buried in the back or on the bottom of a drawer never seem to get smoked. I really should rotate my sticks more but I never seem to get everything to fit back in like it was before messing with them.

"Variety Is The Spice Of Life"! (Although I Often Go To "Old Faithful" !)

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Same Problem, Here!:r

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Good thing is, I've been smoking enough to nail down the basics of what I like. This may come as a shock to many folks here, but I'm not real big on Maduro wrappers. Although I guess it depends on the filler/binder, because the Perdomo Habano Maduro I had the other night was tasty. I just don't like the overwhelming maduro flavor.
I'm real big into Nicaraguan tobaccos lately, especially the puros.

Re: Smoke what you're craving, or try a new stick?
 

Smoke them both!
