I used to basically smoke only maduros but lately I have really learned to appreciate lighter stix as well. That's a little backwards but that's alright.

I sometimes judge a cigar by it's label/brand. I just totally write off cigars of certain marca's based on past bad experiences with them. The BTT thread is a great way to overcome this and I recommend it to anyone who has the same prejudice.

However, there is no saving grace for Gurkha.

I don't like Oliva Vs or V maduros.

Fuente Hemis taste like dirt.

Fuente Green labels taste like sour dirt.

I wouldn't buy Opus X if they were $5/stick.

I have yet to smoke a Padron that wows me.

Over half of the cigars I smoke cost under $3 each. The rest cost under $9 each.

The 2 CCs I smoke the most of are: RyJ #2 tubos and La Flor de Cano Selectos.

I will never buy a dress box of CCs again.

I won't drink anything other than water when I smoke a cigar.

Hmmm where should I start?

My first favorite cigar was an Acid Kuba Kuba.

I don't like Opus X, I think Anejo's are much better.

There are cigars I won't try simply because of the name and what I've read about them, closed minded I know, but I can't help it.

I like the Tat red's over the Tat browns.

I don't like the Illusione Epernay.

I am a maduro fiend and will smoke a no name maduro over a premuim name natural.

Based on the few CC's I've had, I'm not impressed.

I must confess that my wallet would get a TON smaller if all these people that claim to not like OPUS X sold me their supplies!

I also must confess that even though 80% of Rocky's stuff is mediocre at best, the other 20% are some of my faves.

Too many bad experiences, especially when comparing the dress box version to the cab version of the "same" cigar. Best examples from my experience are RASS, RyJ Exhibicion #4 and ERDM Choix Supreme. Cabs are incredible. Dress boxes? You couldn't convince me it's the same cigar. Also never gotten a cab (or box of tubos) with mold on them. I've gotten plenty of dress boxes with mold though. A few so bad I sent them back. And most of the plugged sticks I've gotten are from dress boxes.
