i have this problem with an entire brand right now. LFD is my crack. I compare everything to them and can't get my hands on enough. I'm like a fat kid at a donut shop. Just can't stop myself when it comes to LFD.
I don't find it hard not to use one cigar as the benchmark by which I judge all others. I think a lot of it has to do with variety in that the more cigars I smoke of differing manufacture, the more I appreciate each cigar for what it has to offer that makes it stand out as more than just a run of the mill stick. But that might be me, I don't smoke a great cigar and say "wow, this is the best cigar and nothing will compare", I approach it more like "wow, that was a great cigar, I can't wait to find the next great one." Something like that, point being I'm always looking forward to the next great experience rather than dwelling on the last one.
It is definitely hard. Once I try something that really pops for me with a certain flavor profile, everything else that may have had a hint of it, but that isn't quite as awesome certainly becomes less appealing. Unfortunately I can't afford to smoke nothing but Pepins, LFDs, and Fuentes.

The REO maduro line does it for me. They are out of production so I can only get them as singles from cigar.com. Anyone knows what is the closest to this cigar. I'm sure Cigar.com is going to run out of them eventually.

Seriously. I would be perfectly happy smoking nothing but lfd. But I do love variety as well.
For me, it's a matter of greenbacks. If I see a good discount on something that comes out to $4/cigar, I think to myself "Yeah, it's a great deal...but I could get a Padron 3000 for that".
I usually go through my cigars in cycles, I will get on a rocky kick, then get tired of them, then go on a CAO kick...Camacho...etc. My tastes are always changing.
tastes are always changing. for a while last summer i thought the CAO Italia was the best cigar around. that's all i smoked for about a month... not a big fan of them now. that said i do like trying new cigars... but always have my "go-to's" on hand...
