I think people have specific tastes - some are VERY specific (some smokers I know won't take cigars I offer because it's not their brand) while others (including myself) like to experiment.

There are times when I fire up a new cigar I've never tried and just get that "WOW!" feeling. Of course, there are those times I light up a cigar and get the "BLECH" feeling!!! But - so goes the quest...

Interesting Ggiese.

Now I know that there are many factors that can affect a cigar's taste. What you may have eaten recently, hydration ( a big factor with me ), mood, etc.

I too sometimes smoke a cigar that is a favorite only to be disgusted with it and other times a cigar I normally don't enjoy tastes great.

Of course there is variation to a degree from cigar to cigar in a box, but sometimes the difference is drastic which leads me to believe that it is physiological / psychological in nature.
