That I would of bought less NCs. and the ones I did buy should of only been ones that are highly "ageable" for years. Tat brown labels, opus and Padron.
That I would of bought more young boxes of CC's for aging. STAPLE CC BOXES. Psd4, Party short cabs, Cohiba CEs, HdM des Dieux, Monte 4s, 898Vs, Monte 2s, Bolivar CJs. I mean like 3-4 boxes of each. They would all have like 5-6 years on them now....
I wish I would of learned to purge my cigar 3-5 Xs a cigar mandatory. It cleans up every cigar's taste every time.
I wish I would of slowed down from 400 cigars to 100 cigars a year about 5 years ago.

Cigars, and especially cigar brotherhoods, can bring people together over a shared love. Wish I would have known about this place when I first started smoking.

It can also divide people into cliques and really show you who people are. Both in great ways and disturbing.

Oh and the don't stick the lit end in your mouth thing

That my taste would change so don't "stock up" on sticks too early or you'll be stuck with sticks you don't care for.

"Don't buy the hype" - ie don't buy a cigar because its all the rage. Also don't avoid a stick just cause the 'experts' don't like it.

When you smoke Quantity over Quality make sure you mark the ones you liked. Bites to buy the same sampler over again to find just that one you liked LOL.

Sometimes you need to think out side the box

Smoking Pipe tobacco, You get more smoking for less money. (Some of the Boxes of cigars I bought and smoked could have translated into many pounds of Pipe tobacco to enjoy long after the cigar boxes starts to break apart) :hammersma

Smoke what you like not what others like. Your smoking for your pleasure not theirs.
