I bought a few sampler packs for CI and it starts to give you a better 'understanding' for the different flavors, spices, etc that come out in a smoke. I think you will find many cigars that you like and a few that just don't cut it. Eventually you will get some real favorites. I have a somewhat freakish variety, but, I like what I like. EX:

After dinner I like a Joya de Nicargua, but before dinner I may have a Cusano 18.

Plus, I love to golf and I would never, EVER attempt to play a round with a Joya!
