In all honesty I fall into the 2nd and 3rd categories. I try and track down everything I can and try a vast assortment of smokes so that I will find new cigars that I love as well as continue to smoke the old stand by cigars. I will even try smokes that I didn't care for multiple times to see if it was due to the box or year or some other factor.

However, in the last couple years I made it a point to try and track down as many rare and HTF cigars as I could. For two reasons, I wanted to try some of the more elusive smokes and because some of them are just that much better than regular production smokes because of age/quality etc.

There is a certain mystique and prestige that comes with cigar smoking and I think the cigar companies cater to that. However, they know where their bread is buttered. I would venture to say that most of their revenue comes from smokers who don't have much knowledge about different cigars and just walk into a B&M and pick something off the shelves.
