Same Cigar, Different Experience

Could be you. Sometimes when you first try something it's so great, then the rest aren't as good. This happened to me with CoLas. But they still are damn tasty

Finally, it could have just been a bad stick.

I agree with both Peter and bill

What I try to do when i find a cigar that I like is I try and and pick up a few more and put one down to rest for about 6 months or longer. I'll also smoke one with say maybe a nice hot cup of coffee and another with a soda or drink.

I play around until I find a combo that works for me. Also come six months or longer when I smoke the one or two I put down I also take into account if the rest improved the smoke to me.

I personally think thats the best part of this hobby / addiction / lifestyle.

Always remember always try and give a cigar a chance or 2 before you write it off.
