I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on this: How many cigars do you think you need to smoke before deciding if you like a cigar or not?

The reason I'm asking is because sometimes I try something and kind of like it, but not feel sure. Usually, if I try that cigar again, I end up deciding I like it. So, I suppose that would mean I need at least two smokes before deciding on a cigar.

Tonight I tried an Olvia V for the first time (Torpedo), and I'm in this position where I'm just not sure. Do I bother trying it again? Or just let it go, since there are plenty of other things to try? I typically like a full bodied cigar, so that wasn't the problem. I just thought the second half of the cigar was on the harsh side... but I realize a number of things could contribute to this.

So... do you typically give a particular smoke one chance, and if you don't love it, you move on? Or do you give it a second, third, or more of a chance before deciding for sure?
