Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

for me, they usually get just one shot. not saying it's the best method but that seems to be the way things normally work out. Even if I don't fall in love with a cigar right away, I'll try it again. However if I don't like the first one at all, it's not likely to get a second look.

3 x for me. I smoke the first one in a month and then the second one in 3 months and the last one no later than 6 months. I'd hate to miss the boat on a cigar that needed some age to it.

Of course if it is an Arganese then only once for sure!

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

I smoke until I'm sure. Typically it takes me less than a third to know as there are some tastes I just don't prefer.

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

If I'm not sure after 1 cigar, I give it another shot. Nothing more the twice. If it cannot win me over after 2 cigars then it isn't worth it.

I work in 3s unless it was absolutely horrible. 3 is a good number.

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

It all depends on how bad #1 is. If it's really bad I will unlikely try another. If it's mezzo-mezzo, I'll likely try it again. If it's outstanding, I'll smoke another, and then a third. After three "outstandings" a cigar is a keeper.

But, as has been suggested, there are so many stogies out there, you could smoke a different one daily for years before having to duplicate!

Now, after over 5 years of smoking, I'm still at stage one, going through different cigars. I have my favs, but keep trying new ones. Eventually, I'll hafta make up my mind- or maybe not!

If the flavor profile is not to my liking I pretty much don't try another one.

If the first one is pretty blan I get another one and put it in my humi for at least a month and give it a second try. If I don't like it after the second thats it for me.

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

:tpd: I work exactly the same way. There are times that I know I will not like the second one but I try it anyway.

To a tee!!

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

Some I like right away, others need to grow on me.
For example, the Oliva V was an instant keeper,
but anything Camacho is suspect to me.

First impressions are lasting.

I usually buy between 2 and 5, depending on the source.
I don't buy singles online. If I get a 5er I'll try one or two,
then either keep the rest or give them away. Just because
I didn't like them doesn't mean my local herf budds won't
like them.

Chemyst :cool2:

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

Usually 3 for me but sometimes up to 5

Re: How many tries before deciding on a cigar?
 

At least 6 times...wait...do you mean smokes that I buy myself??? Maybe once or twice.
