I bought 7 Rocky Patel 1990's like an idiot. It's okay but not good enough that I'd actually choose it over the others in my humidor. They became my go to hand off cigars
U r 100% correct Tim. I’m a new buyer for CD, but I’m definitely sticking with u from here on out. Your advice and knowledge has helped me expand my palate and it’s great appreciated. Keep up the amazing work. Ur a good man.
One other idea too, figure out what your favorite cigars are blended with. If the blend for a cigar is similar to your favorites, you can be more confident in buying a box. Crowned Heads Blood Medicine was like that. I absolutely love Ecuadorian wrappers, enjoy Connecticut tobacco a good bit, and it's hard to find a cigar with Nicaraguan tobacco (I know of all my favorites without it, just a very common origin right now), so I knew I'd love it. Or if you know who blended the cigar, like Eladio Diaz, you can know it'll be good. He blended all my favorite cigars, so Sanj Patel SP1014 Antra was an instant buy of 2 boxes because I know I love Eladio's ability to make an amazing cigar
Good advice did the 2 times myself and glad I did. I've also jumped right off the boat with little info about it but thought it would be good and haven't been burnt yet
I usually do this, but I'd much rather buy 3. I like to smoke one fairly soon after purchasing them. If I enjoy it, I have another I can smoke without being sad about it being the last one. Then I rest the third one. That being said, I usually only buy 2 so I can buy try more cigars.
This is true but when you only smoke one a week, two if there’s a special occasion you really don’t run into this problem bc there’s so many blends to choose from and there’s always something new and boutique to try
Yeah that's an amazing advice. I've ordered some things that I just didn't really like and then I was stuck with them forever and had to give them away....
I did that for a long time. Then I always liked the ones I got so ended up just going with the 5 packs. Only once did I not like the blend. But about 6 months later, after going back. I liked them. So all is good
I buy a couple and write them down and rate them myself on taste and if they suck hand them off because life is full of disappointment but the knowledge is worth the price sorta
Hey im new to cigars and ive recently got a humidor. Is it normal that my cigar leafs kind of grow on certain points? They get fatter and softer nit much but a bit
