I have become pretty sensitive to the additives that some manufacturers use in their cigars (that's a whole other topic). So when i'm in a humidor i look for cigars that aren't super oily looking, are consistently colored but not identical as to avoid dyes and typically try to stay away from marketing gimmicks (double & super ligeros and such). It greatly reduces the amount of cigars that I can smoke and enjoy, but I rarely pick up one that I don't like.
Wow. That's a lot of additional stuff to have to consider!
