How do you buy/pick the cigars you get?

[groogs]

I almost always buy boxes, but I have tried enough different sticks to have a good idea of what I like. I think sticking with five packs is the best bet until you really know what you like. I ended up buying boxes too soon when I got into this hobby, and then my tastes changed and I had a whole bunch of stuff I had to sell to make room for new smokes.

When I do buy smokes I usually look for good deals; if there are none that grab my attention I look at my "need to buy" list and choose something that I have been wanting to buy.
