I'm with Shane, I'm too new to this hobby to say where I fall, I definitely like to try anything I can get my hands on. I have been lucky, I joined here early on so I really haven't experienced what I consider a 'bad' stick. Some have definitely been better than others.
I have a few (what I consider) expensive sticks, I know there are a lot more expensive ones out there and I'm not sure what I'm saving them for but I just can't bring myself to smoke them yet.
I've never had a CC, but eventually I will, but for now I'm sticking to the NC's to sort out what a do and don't like.
