Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I was thinking about this at work today and was curious to hear the responses. Here's the question...

If you had to make a choice between smoking only your favorite cigar and nothing else for the rest of your life or never again smoking your favorite cigar and getting to try every cigar in the world once which would you choose?

If you decide to take your favorite cigar what would it be?

Tough question, I'd think I have to go with trying new cigars for life though.

New cigars. My favorite has changed plenty of times so I'm sure it could again. I couldn't smoke the same cigar every day no matter how great it was.

It depends on whether there are any price limits on what the favorite cigar for life. If I could have an unlimited supply of any cigar in the world...

That is tougher than it seems at first. I think new cigars though. Although..

I voted for my favorite cigar for life, based solely on the comment that I would have to smoke every cigar once for the other option. From what I can tell the number of dog turds far exceed the good cigars on the market. Now, if I could pick the cigars to try and different years counted as different cigars, then I would go with that option. I have no desire to try every cigar on the market, but I do have a long list of must tries.

New cigars.

To be honest, Joe, I'm just glad I don't have to make such a choice. I mean, would one want to sleep with a person one loves, or a different person every night?

Joe, I Love Trying New Cigars! "Variety" Is The Spice Of Life, Right? Great Poll!:)

It's the "never" and "once" parts that would be a problem.

yeah, I'm a creature of habit, but I think trying new cigars is what keeps my old favorites from getting boring. and as much as I like Partagas, I'm sure I would start to hate them if they were the only cigar I could smoke.

good point on variety, but for every good new cigar i try, there's twenty crappy ones, too...

Montecristo Petit Edmundo would keep me happy.

Great idea for a thread... At first I thought favorite cigar. But then I thought, as much as I love a few different marcas and vitolas... I just couldn't do just one.

Haha I struggled with this one for a good part of the day... there are good points on either side of the coin. LOL

I would have to have a different smoke everyday. Being such a noob I would have a lot more options than most of you guys! As previously posted'

Varity IS the spice of life!

I voted favorite cigar, and it would be Upmann #2.

I am the type of person that very rarely ventures out to try new things. If I goto a restaurant I get the thing I KNOW I like...cause if I get something new and don't like it I am gonna be pissed that I could have gone with 'old reliable' and had something good.

I kinda do the same thing with cigars, I will try new ones every now and then...and sometimes add a new 'old reliable' to my list. But MOST of the time I stick with my 'old reliable' list.

My life doesnt need any more spice...I am married to a Latina :r

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I thought long about this question. I do have my favorite cigar but if I was not able to try new ones I wouldn't be able to come up with a new favorite. So I chose to try something new. :tu

Once I find that perfect cigar, I will be set...but I haven't found it yet.

icehog3 11-03-2009 10:05 PM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I said new...but I would go with favorite if someone sends me a lifetime supply of 1994s. ;)

Veritas 11-04-2009 12:07 AM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I went with new ones. Because of the way my taste has changed in the past, I'm not sure my current favorite would always satisfy the way it does now. Also, there are too damned many sitcks on my must-try list. I wouldn't want them to slip away.

Lucky_Hippo 11-04-2009 03:41 AM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I also went with new. After a box or two of the same smoke I tend to leave that brand for a while and look for something different.

TheTraveler 11-04-2009 06:44 AM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I had to choose "Try new cigars for life". There are simply way too many I haven't tried, especially on the Dark Side of the fence. I'd hate to pass up all those experiences and settle for the cigar that's my favorite in my limited experience . Now, if I had, say, 20 years smoking experience I might be more inclined to go with my favorite but with my limited experience it's possible that the next new cigar I try will simply blow my current favorite out of the water.

Interesting question, though. :)

I picked favortie cigar, Cohiba Lancero.

While having a new cigar everyday is tempting the issue is there are a LOT of bad cigars in my opinion. I'd rather have a cigar I know I can count on whenever I have one over having to smoke say a Ghurka.

Iam sorta the same way... except I think I found mines ;3

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I also voted for "My favorite cigar for Life".....the other option would be really tough to turn down....but I would be extremely happy to smoke the "original" Master Blend for the rest of my life!

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
new cigars for life for sure eventually I would get tired of the same thing every day.

shilala 11-06-2009 08:38 AM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
That one was easy. Most of the fun I get out of cigars is trying new stuff and finding new favorites. I can't think of any single one I couldn't live without. :tu

njstone 11-06-2009 09:44 AM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
If you mean my just my #1 favorite cigar ... I'd choose the new ones. Chances are I'll eventually find a new #1 anyway!

But if you told me I'd have to give up my Top 10 ... that would be a tougher choice, though I'd still choose the new ones because my top 5 cigars are all limited releases and will be gone soon anyway, lol ... *sigh

ZJB 11-08-2009 07:40 AM

Re: Favorite cigar vs trying something new...
 
I would go with variety as well. It's not that I stop liking smokes but I can get burned out on them after awhile.
