What did you learn in 2007?

[Scud]

I started the year with many hobbies and collections and ended the year retired from paintball and stopped chasing the amateur golfing dreams. I did start to learn a lot more about cigars and my collection has grown by leaps and bounds.

What I learned:

Gifted cigars usually taste better than ones bought by myself.
Not all expensive cigars are good and not all cheap cigars suck.
I moved from mild to full flavor and definately have my favorites: Pepin, Tatuaje, Patel Edges, etc.
Herfs are great places to meet excellent people.
Sending out bombs is awesome :ss

What did you learn this past year?

Thats funny! Stayed away from cbid this year. Been buying from other botl, got my first hemi maduros, anejos, opus x. Looking forward to smoking them after they have had some rest. Also have some new favs to include Pepin, Tatuaje, Olivia serie V.

That this can be a very expensive slope!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mystophales]

That I really like smoking cigars. Started my journey last July and it has been one of the most enjoyable past times I have ever had. Oddly enough it is not simply for the cigars themselves but rather the entire experience. From cutting to lighting to smoking...add to this good people I have met here and it is just one GREAT hobby.:tu

Here's what I learned:

1. The contents of a full 100qt cooler do not fit in a 28 bottle vinotemp wine coller so you end up having both.

2. The "other" cigars aren't as hard to come by as I first thought and it's a rush making your first order.

3. That I shoudln't have stocked up so fast early in my smoking days b/c now I have a ton of sticks I never smoke.

4. Never check the WTS or retailer section if you're trying to save money. Great deals always to be had from the members here and great retailers.

5. I should buy more Padron 1964 Maduros and bring my cost per stick down by buying a box of Londres maduros with them.

I'll think of more later after some coffee.
