How much does smoking a non pleasant cigar affect your mood?

[shortnub]

I just had a bad cigar, meaning it did not have the aromas register I was hoping to find, but also it was unripe.
My mood has been dramatically affected. I feel very irritable and nervous.
It usually happens when I smoke something of low quality or simply something that I do not like. The relationship between me and the cigar breaks, in the first case I feel betrayed by the manufacturer, in the second case I feel betrayed by myself as I have not been able to predict I would not like the cigar.
Does something similar happen to you too?

depends entirely on how much I spent on it

this, but generally speaking I will put down a cigar im not enjoying and get something else. No Point in smoking something I am not enjoying that defeats the point.

Life is too short to smoke bad cigars and it's even shorter to get worked up over something like smoking a bad cigar. Pitch it, grab a different one and enjoy.

If it's that unpleasant I'll pitch it a grab something I know I'll like.

I don't smoke anything spectacular regularly, but I've suffered through a cheapie freebie while smoking with a friend... I will politely decline next time haha. Learned the huge gap between quality cigars and garbage.

Just let me specify that with 'low quality' cigar I mean inconsistent in production. The cigar that gave me the 'experience' was at about $13, not sure for you but that is not cheap to me for a regular ongoing release smoke.

pretty much this. although, it is a lot easier to keep that attitude if you actually have a stash. it hurts a lot more on a guy with 100 or less sticks than someone with a cooler or vino.

Haha no no, I smoke $5-7 cigars, at best! I imagine the one I was given was probably more expensive, but absolute junk. From a "smoke shop" that sells bulk cigarettes & scratch tickets.

But it's hard to turn down a friend who bought cigars specifically to smoke with you, knowing you enjoy cigard. I told him to keep them for himself & provided the next few (& pointed him to a decent B&M).

I agree with both comments. I dont smoke a cogar if it sucks, but I am lucky enough to have others to go to.

I have been disappointed by cigars. Sticks that got great reviews or that i had waited to get a hold of, only to not enjoy them. But I dont usually let it impact my mood.

I actually smoke for work and feel lucky for that. I did not mean the conversation to go on what each of us can afford, I meant to really understand if some of you see real changes in their mood when being deceived by a cigar, as I do experience that. This has nothing to do with Facebook btw

Agree, it should be as simple as that

Sorry, didn't mean to discuss pricing.

I don't think it changes my mood, though it's always disappointing if that's what's you've been looking forward to all day. In the case where a friend gave me the cigar, it was still an enjoyable experience because of the company.

I get bummed if the cigar is plugged. Especially if i have been aging it. have yet to smoke a "bad" cigar. Just diffrent from what I like.

I still remember about 10 years ago when a friend gave me a few CCs after he acquired a box. I was looking forward to a great experience and 3 out of 5 of them were plugged. What a disapointment for a very expensive cigar. I had to run a draw poker in to smoke them.

Normally if a cigar is not to my taste, at first, I still cotinue to smoke it. Sometimes I have been glad I continued to the end. My mood isn't really affected unless it's real expensive.

I agree

 

[UpInSmoke]

I smoke cigars for pleasure and relaxation. If the stick I'm smoking is more frustrating for whatever reason than it is enjoyable, I throw it away no matter what it cost

Life's stressful enough, I don't need one of my favorite Hobbies adding to it

If it sucks, mu it and move one. Doesn't affect mood because even if I build up a great deal of anticipation for it and it sucks, I always have some cigars on hand that I know will not disappoint as a backup.

For me, smoking a bad one doesn't affect my mood. I just remind myself that I'm not working and I feel better. However, I have had my mood affect a good smoke. Threw a couple down out of being pissed. And not at the cigar.
