I’m in the grateful for gift crowd and then stuck with sticks I will smoke eventually unless they are flavored then a I will accept but they are for the wife when she annually smokes a cigar with me. I will explain that I’m grateful but my palate generally enjoys such and such types however my wife will like this.

If I’m smoking a series of cigars in one setting, after two it almost doesn’t matter what I smoke as I can’t taste anything and actually I start preferring mild cigars so I don’t get a nicotine hangover.

Gifted cigars seem to range the gambits from flavored to popular Dominicans which are nice but not really in my wheel house, e.g. a brother-in-law just gifted me two Cohiba Red Dots and I will smoke them eventually but I gifted back two CC’s and now he and his buddies want to get more hah. I think he was a little annoyed I didn’t fire up the Cohiba Red Dot right away but I was mid H Upmann Anejado so nuff said.
