    I agree to extent, at this point I know what I like and am almost disappointed when trY something else and don't enjoy it like one of my regulars. That said I am really excited for the Man o War Orange County edition. It's a new blend from my favorite brand, there are a lot of releases thought that I don't even look twice at.

    There are so many new brands out there anymore that it's hard to get through them w/o going broke. I like a lot of cigar brands already and to continue to buy everything that comes out is crazy. If I hear enough buzz after a year then I'll try it but to try and keep up with what comes out is impossible.

    I guess I'm still new enough to the "hobby" that I want to try lots of new stuff to narrow down what I like. But it makes perfect sense that, after 5+ years, you'd have a pretty good sense of what you like and stock your humi with the ones that you're sure to enjoy. That's kinda how I expect it to go with me in the years ahead.

    I found myself wanting to try every new stick when I was first in to the hobby. Now, I pretty much stick to my guns. If it's MF, Tat, LFD, Fuente (Ashton/VSG too), and Padron, I'll be game to try it. I like what I like and have kinda figured out my palate. If it's AJ blended and made, I'll take a chance on it. I like most of his stuff.

    I have the same problem. When i first started i was trying everything i possibly could to find out what i liked and didn't like. Now the companies i stick with are: oliva, RP, aj fernandez, arturo fuente, gran habano, tatuaje, and a few others. I will try their new blends but I usually don't try new cigars from a company i've never had. It's probably because i don't know if it's a bad or good cigar. I'm more likely to try a cigar from a company i've never had if that cigar is recommended on this forum simply because everyone on here takes smoking seriously and none of want to smoke a bad cigar.

    I've found myself jumping at new stuff from companies that don't put out tons of new stuff... For the most part I pretty much know what I like and don't trust many others pallets too tell me too try some really high end stick. I'm just glad I have enough of what I like even if it gets discontinued (camacho) I'll have some too revisit. But yeah for the most part the only new stuff I have too try is all the new stuff I own mostly from you guys!!

    I like trying new ( or new to me ) sticks. I have my regulars and faves. This past Friday I had my first Falto and loved it. I'll be getting more of those in the future

    My problem is that I pretty much have decided that 5 Vegas and Torano are going to be my daily smokes, but now I find out 5 Vegas has a label called Miami and I, so far, have not been able yo find them. So, even though I agree with you generally, there is always something that comes up and I want to at least try one.

    Sadly, the 5V Miami was discontinued. I'm sure you could trade for some, however.

    That's the problem with the current trend of having so much product and so many lines… you find something perfect for you and then it's gone. If you find something you like, buy it up, lol!

    im not looking for new stuff all the time. i like to buy what i like but i do enough trades and there is a good enough percentage of new stuff that i do want to try so new things to review seem to always be around.

    Tony, you def need to try the Fausto. If I had known, I would've sent one with the El T's. The Room 101 Daruma Lancero is a very fine stick. I think you will really like it.
  • alienmisprintalienmisprint Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 3,961
    Yeah, I definitely do. Its on my short list; Fausto, CLE Plus, Raices Cubana, Daruma, 101 San Andreas. I know this is kind of heresy, but I'm really not into lanceros. I do like smaller ring gauges, but 46-50 is pretty much my sweet spot. I have found very few lanceros that didn't have too tight of a draw for me. The only ones that pop to mind are the El Truinfadors, Tat Blacks, Tatuaje Tattoos, and the Nestor Miranda Special Selection.

    I'm still kinda new, but i'm already sliding away from jumping on new stuff. There are a couple of reviewers I like and whose tastes match my own so if they get excited about something new I'll give it a go.

    I know how you feel so many new ones coming out left and right you can't keep up. I do like to try new ones that catch my eye in a shop though.

    Well for me, I like to try out new products whether it be a new beer, cigar, food, etc. . Seeing something different always grabs my attention and I don't mind trying it. Although I have had my fare share of disappointments and wasted money due to not liking the product. I chalk it up to live and learn, as long as I have my tried and true beer/cigar. Unless it gets taken off the market.
