How many tries before deciding on a cigar?

GreekGodX · 09-14-2009, 10:01 AM

If I'm not sure after 1 cigar, I give it another shot. Nothing more the twice. If it cannot win me over after 2 cigars then it isn't worth it.

I work in 3s unless it was absolutely horrible. 3 is a good number.

It all depends on how bad #1 is. If it's really bad I will unlikely try another. If it's mezzo-mezzo, I'll likely try it again. If it's outstanding, I'll smoke another, and then a third. After three "outstandings" a cigar is a keeper.

But, as has been suggested, there are so many stogies out there, you could smoke a different one daily for years before having to duplicate!

Now, after over 5 years of smoking, I'm still at stage one, going through different cigars. I have my favs, but keep trying new ones. Eventually, I'll hafta make up my mind- or maybe not!

If the flavor profile is not to my liking I pretty much don't try another one.

If the first one is pretty blan I get another one and put it in my humi for at least a month and give it a second try. If I don't like it after the second thats it for me.

I work exactly the same way. There are times that I know I will not like the second one but I try it anyway.
