You and I have a lot of similar opinions! My first euphoric cigar experience was also a Bolivar, and my last great cigar was also a Tat. On the other hand, I'm not 100% sold on puros (except for the Cuban kind) nor am I sold on Nics.
One thing I miss out on is smoking with buddies. I'm a lone smoker. None of my friends enjoy cigars so its kind of a solitary experience for me. I'm thankful for CA Though, the one place I canshare my favorite hobby with others.
Cheers!
