I know this sort of thing has been done before, but if you are like I am, tastes change periodically. Also, manufacturers also may tweak blends. And of course, rollers may come and go. But mainly, our tastes change.
Having said that, I am curious, what are your 3 favorite brands (be specific (Pepin is unacceptable - DPG Blue would be better, and one blender may have all 3 brands) now and what 3 were they then (define how long ago then was).
Now:
Oliva V
Taboo HSG
Padron Ann. 64 maduro (although I only smoke them occasionally due to cost)
Then - 1993:
AF Hemingway
Punch
Moore & Bode Flamboyan
As you can see, I have gravitated to more heavily bodied cigars. Although, it might be that the Hemingway line seems to have changed blends and is much different than it was. And the M&Bs I simply haven't had in a long time as they are also very pricey and finding them is difficult - would love to get my hands on a few of them again.
