I can see your point and I agree. But I think there is something to be said for knowing exactly what you'll be getting and for that these are great, not only for those who just want something tasty without having to think too much about it, but especially for the very occasional cigar smoker who might not have developed the palate yet for something more complex. As an example, when I first started with cigars my wife bought me a Padron (I don't remember the exact cigar, but think it was a 1964 Anniversary) and I thought it tasted like garbage compared to the Drew Estate Java I had smoked. Now, don't get me wrong, I still love the Javas, but I just couldn't appreciate what the Padron had to offer. Instead I tried a Macanudo and loved it. My tastes have changed but I can still appreciate what it is that Macanudo provides.![]()
