Are you picky or not, when it comes to cigars?

As a relatively new cigar smoker I'll try any cigar once, some I don't like and some I like well enough and will buy more.

I really enjoy the trading that exists in this hobby, it has opened me up to so much more variety as I develop my palate. As that happens I'm sure I will start to narrow down what brands or regions I prefer.

I suppose I'm not really picky, yet...

I agree with Jake. I also will try anything thing once and really enjoy the trading aspect of this sight along with the blind sampler offerings. That is the largest contributor to my introduction of previously untested brands.

Picky doesn't (necessarily) mean expensive to me. I like several mid-grade cc's because they are well made, tasty AND reliable (i.e., not worth counterfeiting like the high-end stogies). I've tried my share of nics and doms and have settled on a few I really like - the rest, I don't get it.

Exceptions: I had a few Fuente Chateaus (green ribbon tip?) and a couple of boxes of Drew Estate La Vieja Habanos (?) yardgars that sat around for 5-6 years. When rediscovered they had plumed beautifully and, for a bunch of (then) $5 sticks, they were some of the best tasting cigars I've ever had, period.

I'm always a stickler for keeping the lit end away from my mouth. Does this make me picky? I'm not sure.
