After 4+ yrs. I've narrowed down my fav sticks to 10 or 12.
I still try new ones, but rarely more than a fiver, and not
very often. Trying to get boxes of the favs, as I run out of them.
Good, new blends still come out, so the search goes on.
Just sloowly...

BTW, many of my favs are higher end sticks, too. Smoking fewer
but better sticks, IMHO.
