Changing tastes

[steve047]

I've been enjoying cigars for more years than most of you have in age. I find that my tastes change every couple of years from rich, heavy in your face 10 year old cuban boli's and Partagas and then a ratchet down occurs where at the end of the cycle I am enjoying aged PorLarranagas, Punch Black Prince (old ones) with enough years smoking finally your pallet is refined enough to recognize all those flavors you like in each type of cigar. None of this has anything to do with nicotine content.

sage words, lz, as always. I think most of us go through a stage at some point where we fall in love with big & badass. I know i did. I find that as my palate continues to refine that I can notice enough differences in cigars to tailor my choices to more accurately fit my moods, which only furthers my enjoyment of the moment.

I agree totally...well said

I have also found that my taste is changing, even after a little over a year of cigars. My mood and atmosphere has a lot to do with what i want to pull out of the humi aswell.

One thing that I have also found is that the some of the lesser know stuff is finding my taste and wallet more pleasing. There are some house brands that are "Like" some of the name brand stuff. There is one that I have found is the house brand of Perdomo that Jr's has. This is a perdomo product that is made for Jr's. The price is great and the taste is awesome!

Cigars are an Awesome thing! You have some many different choices that I dont think that I could ever try them all.

Amusingly, I find my tastes shifting basck to as lot of the cigars that I smoked when I first took up the hobby, many of which arer not terribly pricey at all. For example, I am enjoying a Hoyo Dark Knight right now, which anyone who knew me on StogirChat v1.0 can tell you, was my staple everyday cigar for quite a while.
