A "boring" cigar? How do you handle a "boring" cigar. Did you just fall asleep smoking it, or was it more like you would never smoke it again...

I have only smoked one of them and it is nearly impossible to completely judge a cigar based on one smoke. I think I need to smoke another one to see how it performs. I have had cigars perform poorly once on the first smoke and I thought the second one I smoked was great.

Cool. Well then, may I suggest just keeping you garage sale, joining us and smoking your cigars / writing reviews and hanging out with the community.

FWIW, I don't subscribe to the "one smoke isn't enough to judge a cigar / line" Yeah, there's variations, and there's the occasional dud, but I've been "wow'd" by 1, and "oh God, never again" by one.

It was a rule I adopted for myself because when I first started smoking I was learning what "plugged" cigars were and other construction issues were. Those can have an impact how much you enjoy the cigar. My palate was also developing too. My taste changed as I smoked more and more. By giving cigars a second chance I was able judge them more fully. I may continue to smoke cigars but right now I am not in a financial position to justify purchasing cigars when I am struggling to pay student loans. Thanks

Ok. Just don't buy any. Seems like you have a stash to draw from for a while.
