I think most of the advice stems from a lot of online shopping and normally getting cigars in 5 packs or more, or at least I do. It's just more cost effective living in NY. I save local trips for single, usually higher end sticks I know I like.

If you only bought one of a cigar and didnt like it, you certainly don't have to run out and buy a few more just in case things change.
Without knowing the specifics of the recommendations in question, that would be my guess, too. There may be a few exceptions to this, like if it were a well known cigar that performed wildly different than expected, then it might be worth picking another couple up to rest for a while, but for the most part it's probably not worth buying more of a cigar that you don't like, especially when you're new.

I'm pretty new too and I'm sure there are a few cigars that I've written off that should be revisited. My plan is to get my whole storage, technique, palate and preferences much more stable before I worry about them again, though. As the OP pointed out, it may be better to explore different cigars than focus on cigars I've already not liked. However, if I have more than one I'll keep the others around rather than getting rid of them.
