Favorite cigar vs trying something new...

11-03-2009, 04:07 PM

I was thinking about this at work today and was curious to hear the responses. Here's the question...

If you had to make a choice between smoking only your favorite cigar and nothing else for the rest of your life or never again smoking your favorite cigar and getting to try every cigar in the world once which would you choose?

If you decide to take your favorite cigar what would it be?

CAO MX3...Damn I love that stick!!!

Tough question, I'd think I have to go with trying new cigars for life though.

New cigars. My favorite has changed plenty of times so I'm sure it could again. I couldn't smoke the same cigar every day no matter how great it was.

It depends on whether there are any price limits on what the favorite cigar for life. If I could have an unlimited supply of any cigar in the world...

That is tougher than it seems at first. I think new cigars though. Although..

I voted for my favorite cigar for life, based solely on the comment that I would have to smoke every cigar once for the other option. From what I can tell the number of dog turds far exceed the good cigars on the market. Now, if I could pick the cigars to try and different years counted as different cigars, then I would go with that option. I have no desire to try every cigar on the market, but I do have a long list of must tries.

New cigars.

To be honest, Joe, I'm just glad I don't have to make such a choice. I mean, would one want to sleep with a person one loves, or a different person every night?

Joe, I Love Trying New Cigars! "Variety" Is The Spice Of Life, Right? Great Poll!

It's the "never" and "once" parts that would be a problem.

Good point - I rarely buy singles.

yeah, I'm a creature of habit, but I think trying new cigars is what keeps my old favorites from getting boring. and as much as I like Partagas, I'm sure I would start to hate them if they were the only cigar I could smoke.

Trying new cigars for life...

thebiglebowski · 11-03-2009, 07:26 PM

good point on variety, but for every good new cigar i try, there's twenty crappy ones, too...

Jimbo14 · 11-03-2009, 07:31 PM

Montecristo Petit Edmundo would keep me happy.

Smokin Gator · 11-03-2009, 07:40 PM

Great idea for a thread... At first I thought favorite cigar. But then I thought, as much as I love a few different marcas and vitolas... I just couldn't do just one.

11-03-2009, 07:49 PM

Haha I struggled with this one for a good part of the day... there are good points on either side of the coin. LOL
