Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

[Bill86]

Did anyone else think of George Carlin based on the title?

To answer your question, me I don't want to try a MUWAT. I don't care how fancy of a name they give the cigar it certainly won't sway me into purchasing one. However it might completely turn me off of ever buying them.

So if someone sent you some MUWAT sticks that were un-banded in a trade and you thought they were one of the best cigars you have ever had, Your telling me that you wouldnt buy anymore after you had found out what they were based upon the name of the cigar?

I know this question wasn't directed at me, but since I am also avoiding these I will give you me answer.

If someone gifted me one even with a band on it, I would try it and give it a fair shake. What I won't do is go out of my way to spend my money on something which seems to be a gimmick.

Well I can appreciate that. I just don't understand people that won't even try a cigar based on it's name. If you smoked one and liked it, what difference does it make what the name of the cigar is?

I'd smoke cigars called goat turds if they tasted good.

Agreed.

Relax Josh, Bill didn't say _why_ he had no interest in the MUWAT, it might have nothing all to do with the name. All he did say that the name alone wouldn't convince him to buy it.

He kind of did say it was because of the name unless I am not understanding him correctly.

Don't take what I said the wrong way. I'm not upset or trying to start a fight. Just friendly discussion

Understood.

Honestly, the biggest complaint I've heard about the MUWAT isn't the name, it's the size, 60rg, that turns people off.

I can respect that, I'm not a fan of the big rg sizes either.

Definitely that.

The OP asked if people felt the same way about flashy names and who wouldn't want to buy them because of that.

So I basically replied "me". There is no name they could put on a cigar that would make me purchase it immediately. I buy what interests me flavor wise. If there's a review that sounds like something up my alley I'll buy it.

I just really like the sound "Arganese" makes off of my tongue!
