Default Can't Decide

What do you do when you open your humi but can't decide what to grab? I'm having one of those moments. In my "Ready smokes" humi there must be 50 or more different types of cigars. I almost grabbed a Chiox Supreme, but put it back. Grabbed a AF Cuban Bellicoso, but put it back too. Now I'm thinking about a CAO Black Mosaic. Maybe I should just grab a LS Delirios and call it good enough.

Sometimes I think too many choices causes me too much trouble.

Too many choices is not exactly a bad problem to have in my opinion. I usually grab the first thing I see

I usually either have a cigar in mind, or choose by strength. After that, well, all bets are off. I only go through 1-2 cigars, however before find the one I want to smoke

Well I decided on the CAO. Started out nice, but after an inch or so became very ordinary. Oh well....

I usually just pick something I haven't had in a while that brings back fond memories.

Close the top and go mix a drink to clear your mind then start over, if still no decision then mix another drink, continue till you pick one.

I usually smoke something based on someone's recommendations. Baring that, I smoke whatever I like.

Hard day? Something I enjoy.
Good day? I'll be adventurous.
Meh day? Break out the pipe

I've used this method recently.

There are a ton of sticks that I pass over and end up grabbing ones that I know I like or I've just heard a recent comment or review on them. Best way for me to mix it up is to close my eyes and choose!

I just line them up and have the wife pick a random number. Being blameless for a less than special smoke is always nice.

Yeh I tried that once. except it was my girlfriend and it went something like this.

"Honey could you pick a number between 1 and 50?"

"Umm... hold on a sec. ... Oh I don't know, you pick dinner tonight I am busy playing Sims."

I then used the Kitten to pick one out, not a good one so she is no longer allowed to pick out smoke.
