Years ago, I participated in the newbie sampler trades that appear in one form or another on various cigar boards. Once I figured out what I liked (strong, ligero, SG wrappers, etc.), I keyed in on those cigars only. I look for internet deals or trusted board members who don't like em' for some reason and want to sell. If a new cigar comes out in my taste range, I may venture into a BnM to try one or two. I rarely buy any quantities from the locals; the prices are just too dam$ high. I can't justify paying $4-8 a piece (or more) for something I can get on-line for half or sometimes less. You have to know what you want and be patient. :ss
And when I do find a deal.......I load up big time!!!
