What makes you pick a cigar?

I tend to pick a manufacturer, either by recommendation or just interest. If I like the brand, I work my way through the vitolas.

I like the reviews on here, and then there are certain makers that I have found that I seem to like everything they do.

Beyond that, I go for eye-candy. If it looks interesting and I haven't tried it, I'll pick up 2 and see how they smoke. I look at the wrapper and construction, presentation, price point and vitola size. If it's pretty, it may have to go home with me, even for just a one night stand.

I go on the reviews on Dogwatch and recommendations from my B&M. I like trying new brands and will just tell the B&M owner what flavor profile and price range I'm looking for. His recommendations hardly ever disappoint.
