Whoops, I won my first cbid. Good deal?

I just finished a Vegas Cask Strength II Toro an hour ago. I really enjoyed that cigar. I'm still such a light weight that it knocked me on my ass, but it was worth it. Interesting taste, great burn, draw, ash, a real pleasure overall. This was a great way to end my first day of classes for fall.

Besides the obvious flavor differences, I think I liked the Cask so much more than the Gold because of its build quality. The Gold's wrapper and filling seemed loose in comparison. The Gold also burned faster and hotter (it was perfectly humidified, so dryness wasn't the issue). There wasn't a defect with the Vegas Gold, I have five of them, and they are all rolled the same. Regardless, I'll smoke another soon to make sure it was the cigar and not me.

I'm too inexperienced to tell, but certain cigars have an almost icky taste. CAO Gold, Indigos, some Padrons (I can't remember which ones, I was in my teens) just plain tasted bad to me. I've probably smoked around 50 cigars total in my short lifetime, and I'm hoping with more experience I'll be able to identify a common culprit. Heck, even if I can't, the cigars I end up loving will outweight the bad smokes.

I think checking cigar.com and CI's daily deals is more addicting than cbid. I could spend $30 a day if I'm not careful.
