Sometimes I get obsessed by the whole "best" thing. That sampler is a GREAT start. You will appreciate them even more, not less, when you start moving up the brand/quality ladder. I wonder whether I could truly appreciate and understand what a good and/or great cigar is without smoking some good and bad ones? While my experience and palate are just starting to turn a corner and I am able to experience and appreciate on a deeper level, I am grateful for every smoke. How else does one get there?
Taste and likes aside, which is a whole other thread, how many people on here would know the difference between and exceptional cigar and a once in a decade release that will stand as a benchmark to the brand or style? Does it even matter?
I relish my first sticks and what they have taught me, maybe especially the bad ones.
Well put man, well put:clap:
