Cigars that compliment each other.

[DeeDubya]

So, we've got opinions on:
Mild, Medium and then Full bodied.
Price from more expensive to cheapy.
Smoking randomly because you are mixing drinks/food with your cigar.

How about ISOMS? Will you smoke the ISOM first before that Dominican/Honduran/Nicaraguan? Going with strength makes sense...but what does your gut instinct tell you when you just walk up to the herf and open your travel humi blindly and pick up a stick. Do you go for the juggular and choose that ISOM you've been itching to smoke or be more descrete at first and start off with your daily go-to and save the best for last?

Cleanse the palate between cigars. It's a necessity for wine tasters. There is even a beverage "SanTasti" specifically formulated to cleanse the palate.

Personally, I would not be seen drinking a SanTasti at a Herf. But, some like a glass of water. Pretzels and beer do a good job for me. Wine does not, especially a cab or merlot. I think snacking something with a drink is important.

Anyway, my point is, if you can start a new cigar with a clean palate, then the order becomes a mute point, or at least diminished.
