I like to give a cigar more than one chance, as a cigar may not perform well - they are handmade items and therefore not perfect. As for taste disappointment, in my case, often the hype makes the first experience less than stellar, the cigar doesn't live up to expectations. A second allows me to clear my mind and try it again on its own merits.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

This has been every experience I've had with CCs...

I always do, right? I used to buy that magazine religiously every two months
and I wanted to know about cuban cigars. But I wasn't learning too much about
cigars from that rag. Your average cigar review is what, 40 words? What is
this, cigar-twitter? I know what you are thinking...Brad, why don't YOU try to
trim the words down a bit?

Nah.

What used to get me the maddest was this typical line (from a 'blind' taste test.)
"The cigar shows signs of being poorly rolled, in fact, the whole box looks that way."
