Nostalgia - just a fading memory?

[Beagleone]

When I started smoking cigars in 92, I was partial to the Excalibur line and then the Fuentes. Both were tasty and got me hooks into cigars. During my latter days as a poor DJ and worker bee, I couldn't really afford much and had switched to AF Curly Heads and lower end products. Still today, I have no idea how I kept things so long without really knowing what I was doing. My first box purchase was a brnd called Siglo 21 that a friend's father turned me on to. Before I moved back to Texas, I was trying a lot of different stuff at the B&M in Villa Park that were good to me. Nowadays, my taste have become very refined and particular, like 90% CC, 10% NC (usually Tats, Pepin, Padron or Anejos). I tried smoking a Excalibur and it wasn't the same to me. I have a few of the later productions still, but I don't know if I will ever smoke them again. I try new stuff all of the time and buy what I like, but not as much as I have in the past. Besides, my JL#2 are really tasty right now!
