Again, ymmv. Just a stupid thing I made up. I'm still a noob to cigars, so I definitely don't have a refined process. Or refined palette, for that matter.

I hear what your saying Peter but I've smoked a few sticks that started out like crap but after a little bit opened up to amazing sticks. I'd hate to see you toss a potential great smoke.

Fuente Short Story. For what it is and the price it's at, I've never had a bad one.
Camacho 1962 - This is an excellent stick in any size.
