Very seldom are my picks random. Depending on mood and time or length of smoke. Kind of like deciding what you are going to make for dinner. Do I want something spicy or creamy? Something that will slam my senses or do I just want to kick back and savor the smoke without thinking. Do I want a smoke that is full body and will sit on my palate for a long time or maybe I'm on the first of a few smokes and want something that will clear the palate quickly so I can move on. I dont think of all these variables each time, but usually at least one is up for consideration and I try to pick a cigar that fits the situation.
