Hello All!

[multi-useless]

Welcome from Missouri!

Alas, there is no such animal sir. To put it in IT-speak, the very notion of having one "cigar of choice" is vaporware. Unobtanium. A mythical unicorn. That's because your palate is going to evolve faster than you could ever imagine, and the number of manufacturers and blends is virtually infinite. This isn't to say you won't find a TON of sticks that you love; you'll definitely do that. But the main problem is...too many great sticks, and only one pie hole...

^^^ This pretty much nails it - I think there are very few, if any, bros here who have a single favorite smoke. And, your preferences will likely change as you become more experienced - you might find that "perfect" smoke, but alas, you WILL find something you like even more at some point.

If I may ask, what sticks do you like/dislike so far?

Welcome! Best bet is to keep trying... Good samplers from other brothers are a good way to hone in on what you like. Maybe try hanging around for a bit and trying the newbie trade. Hasn't been one from my deal with @bostoneo I haven't liked!

Welcome to BOTL from Long Island, NY!

Check out the "Today's smoke - 2016" thread too and see what others are smoking. Some will be very familiar and others not so much. But well worth acquiring the knowledge of the different cigars out there.
