so we all know the CAO Brazilia here is one of the best maduros i can think of.....well ever since i started smoking a few of them....its been hard not to compare of maduros to them to be honest....lol............
Question is, once u find a awesome cigar like i did...is it hard not to compare other sticks to it...

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.

I rotate a lot. I do find that I will go through more of a certain cigar when it is hitting me just right. Lately that's been the nub maddie. I seem to go for one when I don't have anything else jump out at me. But it could change at anytime. There are so many great sticks - it's hard to chose just one or 2. -
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.cholmes8310:i have this problem with an entire brand right now. LFD is my crack.

A Fernandez Sig maduro. Outta production, and just Awesome. I miss them.

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.
-
and now ur on a swisher kick lol
-
Its sad, but not hard, once I run out I smoke what I have in my humi.
-
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...

lol. he's never going to live that one down!Joeyjoe21_8:and now ur on a swisher kick lol -
I like variety way too much and with so many cigars out there, it's easy to move onto something else right away. That said, if I find one I really like, I will definitely compare other similar cigars to that. That's true of any cigar I like, really...I'll always have in the back of my mind, "This reminds me of an XYZ" and that's a pretty good indicator of whether I'll buy more.
That said, there is no equal to the CAO Brazilia. -
i fond it hard to buy anything but my favorite at that moment. right now if i was forced to buy a box i would buy a box of LFD air benders. (since i just bought a box of AVO domaine) if i had to buy another box after that i dont know what i would buy.... probably LFD DL Maduro of whatever size. after that i would have a very hard time deciding. MAYBE some Camacho Diploma Maduros but even that i wouldnt be all THAT stoked about. so... no i wont buy what isnt my favorite.
however, i will trade for and happily accept bombs in, especially of cigars that i have yet to try.
