Stick Selection

[TravPSU]

How do you select which cigar you are going to smoke? Do you know beforehand? Do you decide last minute? What factors affect your selection?

I usually open my humidor and look through all my cigars until one jumps out at me. Rarely will I have one preselected. Although this past Sunday I knew I wanted to smoke a Camacho Triple Maduro after my baseball game while sitting around the cooler drinking beer.

Usually my mood affects what I select. If I'm in a crappy mood I'll select a favorite cigar so it will help cheer me up. Most of the time I'll pick a cigar I haven't tried yet.

I open whichever humidor strikes my fancy, reach in, grab something and close the lid. Rarely do I put one back and select another, and if I do, it's usually a size thing with the cigar being too big for the anticipated time for smoking.

...it's usually a size thing...

For me it's both the smoking duration and what I'm doing at the time. If I'm working in the shop and might forget about it I'll go with something cheaper. If I'm drinking I'll go with something stronger. If I'm hungover I'll go with something milder I don't have sticks in mind beforehand with the exception of special occassions. Even then it's just a narrower bunch to choose from.

I don't get much of a chance to smoke during the week, so come the weekend I head out to the back deck with several cigars that seem like a good idea to smoke. Some times I smoke them all in one night, others I finish up over the weekend.

If I have no clue what I want, I'll dig around till something strikes my fancy.

I don't smoke that often, so I usually have a few days to mull over my next cigar. But usually, I get an idea in my head of what I want to smoke, and just stick with it until it's lit.
