Some tips for you:
- Avoid cigar stores that also sell glass pipes and tie dyed clothing.
- Avoid buying your cigars at a drug store or a gas station.
- Only deal with cigar stores that only sell cigars and cigar smoking accessories ("true" tobacconist).
- Avoid any cigar that looks remotely like it was made through a mechanical process.
- Avoid cigars that are contained in a pretty colored plastic tube.
- A true tobacconist will ask insightful questions about likes/dislikes and will only recommend cigars that fit that profile.
- Ask the tobacconist to steer you away from cigars that are "full flavored" or "full bodied".
- Avoid any cigar that say, "ligero" or especially "triple ligero" - you're likely to end up on the floor.
Bottom line - there's plenty of cigars out there you will enjoy without having to hug the porcelain throne.
