What is it?

[RevSmoke]

A little over 2 years ago I started this thread. I revisited it once to see if any of my answers have changed, they did. Some of it has changed again, some remains the same. I will keep those items that changed a touch in this post.

Also, I am curious to see how some of the newer guys in the Asylum will answer.

5) What is it... that makes my "go to cigar," the one I reach for when I don't want to seriously contemplate what I am getting from a particular cigar?
-- Consistency. I know what I am going to get. Amazing how true this still is. I grab certain cigars because I know what I will get. What is even more interesting is that lately, my "go to cigar" has become my "go to smoke." When I really don't want to seriously contemplate what I am getting from a smoke, I am picking up my pipe more.

6) What is it... that makes your "special occasion cigar" so special?
-- Who I am with or maybe who I got the cigar from. Sometimes, it might be a special cigar (price tag, HTF, or some such), but even that special cigar will not be smoked until I'm with the right people. I have a couple I want to smoke with my son as a PPP. I have some really nice smokes, but then there are a couple just average smokes which are seriously consistent, and which I have loved for a long time. I am curious to see/hear his thoughts on them. He had a My Uzi Weighs A Ton Baitfish last night after archery league, he really liked it. Before he smoked it, I had thought it might be a little too strong for him. It wasn't.
