Here’s a question…

I’ve been into this ‘cigar thing’ for almost a year now. I’ve tried a variety of cigars that I love, some that are good, some that are ok and others that I did not like at all.

I now have a handful of sticks that I know I like and have smoked multiple times. I also know enough on what to avoid, if necessary.

But I do like to try new things.

I’m curious what others have done at this point.

Do you stay with what you know and invest in that brand via a bulk or box purchase?

Do you continue to test new things, knowing you might hit a few duds along the way?

Or is it a combination of the two: Smoking what you like with a smattering of experimentation thrown in?

I love the idea of trying new things and finding that next gem but I hate knowing there is a chance of lighting up a bad stick and ruining my cigar time.
