Scared

CigarSquid · 01-20-2012, 07:47 AM

Do any of you get scared/worried to try a new cigar that you have been wanting to try and have heard good things about it?

Example, for me.

I have been wanting to try a Padron. I have had them in the humi for 3+ months. I want to smoke one. I don't want to do it on the weekday, as I am not fully relaxed and I want to enjoy this cigar.

However, when the weekend comes, I get cold feet to pull it out. I am nervous that I will not like it or I may 'mess' it up.

I have heard so many great things on these cigars. It is like, way to much pressure on me to smoke it. That is how I feel.

Smoke it!
I was the same way, until I had been saving a cigar all year to be my Xmas stick, and when I smoked it I was dissapointed.
Don't build up expectations on sticks you have not yet tried, I know it is hard not to.
We all have different tastes so what many people may love you may not.
Smoke it now, and then decide if you want more, is it worth the hype!

I will have to being myself to it this weekend.. Maybe even for a morning smoke. I have done it with other cigars as well.

I try not.. but it seems to happen.

Sometimes we build things up in our minds such that reality simply cannot compete. I suppose that it's easier to do with something that's consumed, like a cigar, 'cause it's kind of a one shot deal. I have some Viaje Late Harvest toros that I feel that way about. I need to get over that.

They do. Or I try to find a 'special' day/event to smoke for.. That doesn't work for me either.

irratebass · 01-20-2012, 08:26 AM

I'm with Shane, just smoke it. I waited till this past Xmas eve to try the Face and I very disappointed. I'm hoping the Walfman doesn't disappoint, not smoking that one till this Halloween, but with others I usually just wait 2-3 months for them to rest then smoke them.

hotreds · 01-20-2012, 08:46 AM

no

ApexAZ · 01-20-2012, 11:11 AM

The Padron's I've had have been good, but not something I would rave about.

Big Maduro · 01-20-2012, 11:42 AM

Just smoke it. Padrons are pretty good. If you don't like it....so what. No ones going to revoke your cigar smoking card. Cigar taste are a very personal thing.

cobra03 · 01-20-2012, 11:51 AM

I look at it this way . If i wanted to collect crap to put in a cabinet and stare at id start buying disney figurines. Cigars are for smoking. Just think god forbid if you step out in front of a bus tomorrow whos gonna smoke those tasty cigars?

tsolomon · 01-20-2012, 11:57 AM

Just smoke it. You're going to like some and not like others and your tastes will change over the years.
