I remember when I was 16 I had access to Macanudos through work and I hated them because I thought they were stale. We also had the nc Partagas which I liked just fine. Years later when I knew more about cigars I had a Macanudo that was perfectly cared for and it still tasted stale to me. It's just the flavor profile. Couldn't pay me to smoke one now.

As for your uncle you are wasting your time. People like what they like and there is nothing wrong with that. I used to work in a brew pub and people would come in with friends or for the food and order bud or miller all the time because that is all they liked.

IMHO just sharing a smoke with him and you enjoying what you like and him enjoying what he likes and both of you thinking the other is crazy and talking about sports or something else is a great way to spend and evening. When it comes to preference there is no right or wrong. Sometimes more people may share your preference but it still doesn't make it right.
