Stick Selection

Heard that one before...

And when she said it, how did it make you feel?

LMAO Funny shit

Sometimes I have a pre-determined cigar, like if I'm planning a review. Most of the time, I look in, and just get a vibe for one. Sometimes I know I want a yard gar. Sometimes I know I need Padronification. I usually reserve the fancy ones for a review or a deserved celebration where I won't have interruption.

You're all welcome for my useless post.

You're all welcome for my useless post.

I think I may have to quote this one in my sigtag!

I have a "to-smoke" list that gets updated every now and then of about 10-20 cigars - when I go to find a stick I check out the list and choose one of them based on mood.

I like this idea and may have to start my own list.

Time of day makes a difference to me before 5pm milder smokes after dinner stronger smokes. and weekend's are for better quality gar's.

Cabrito the goat tells me what cigar to smoke.
I may not agree with him, but there is no Democracy with Cabrito.
Total dictatorship

Well, your goat must have great taste in sticks!

Personally, I just pick whatever suits my mood at the time!

It depends if I am smoking alone or with a others. If I am alone, I pretty much just reach into the humidor and grab one. If a buddy is coming over to drink or if I am going somewhere with friends I tend to grab sticks that I have multiples of so we can discuss the flavors.

That is a real hard one for me to answer. Since I am such a newb, I want a different experience most every time... and yet if I go someplace to smoke, like a lounge or a cruise, I prefer to take sticks or buy sticks I know I like. I guess it depends on what shade of wrapper looks best to me at the time. But again I have much to try and for as often as I smoke... it becomes problematic at most to pick something.

If there's a special occasion/celebration I typically have a particular stick in mind. Otherwise, I like to browse and just grab whatever catches my eye.

My good friend smokes cigars occasionally. Each time I go visit him I try to pick out cigars that I think he'll enjoy. On the flip side, he introduced me to pipe smoking and does the same with pipe tobacco.

I generally have an idea of what I'm going to smoke although I may not know the brand yet. If I've had a good meal I always go for something a little more full but if it's just sitting out at a bar or golfing it's something lighter.

I normally stick to buying cigars in the robusto size. These are generally a 45 minute smoke or so and that's normally perfect for me. I do have a few larger smokes in my humidor now but they will be sitting there for a while until a special occasion when I feel like being a chimney for more than an hour.
