To put it another way, I am grateful that I did not taste high end/rare cigars early on in my cigar journey. I would not have been able to appreciate the complexity and nuances some of those cigars have to offer. I can certainly appreciate them now.

Just my opinion/perspective.
Like many others here, I will tell you THE most important thing is to enjoy the hobby/obsession. Everything else is secondary.

Thanks for your perspective. I certainly aren't going to stop enjoying this new hobby of mine, that much I can assure you!
