Evolution & Tastes

I have to say yes, overtime you will gravitate towards certain brands, know when you are in the mood for a lighter less complicated smoke, or something with a little more arse to it. On the same tolken,you may find a cigar you disliked years ago now is tasty and one of your old favorites just doesn't add up.
Never stop trying different stuff, that's what 5ers are for.

Excellent post.

I think there is something to be said about having one or two favorites vs 33 different flavors. Variety is nice, spice of life some may say.... but nothing wrong with an old reliable favorite. I know when I grab a Padron 2k, I'm getting ready to have a cigar I'll enjoy.... no worry, no fuss, no decisions, just an inexpensive quality smoke that satifies..

I believe once you know what you like, that less can be more...

I was just sorting through my humi the other day thinking about this same topic. I've been smoking cigars for about 8 months now, and my tastes have changed considerably over that time. I've mainly been trying to sample as many different cigars that fit my criteria as I can. The goal being that I want to find 8-10 sticks to stock my humi. I've thankfully avoided buying boxes of stuff I loved early on, which would now be taking up valuable space. There is still a lot of stuff I want to try, but more and more, I find myself reaching for a stick I know I'm going to enjoy rather than take a chance on something new. I have precious little time to smoke, so I have to make it count.

The short answer is yes, my tastes have definitely evolved. I'm going try to stay happy where I'm at as my taste is already maxing out my price range.
