Things I thought I knew about cigars and how I was wrong

Y'all have covered most of my misconceptions. Here's another one:

Maduro = strong, Connecticut = mild. Not always the case!

That full bodied = full strength. This is just wrong. Cigars can have great body and full flavor while having little strength.

that CCs are way stronger and kick your ass with nicotine. Not so much.

I used to think cigar wrapper always equated strength, therefore every maduro was an ass kicker and oscuros were unsmokeable.

Yep, I realized that quick enough!

I had no clue about resting or aging cigars. Didn't know it was even possible or desirable. Had no idea how Maduros were made. Didn't even really understand that cigar tobaccos were fermented. Figured they were just cut and dried and rolled. Yeah, I was pretty much a dope.

But now I'm pretty sure I know everything.

I thought aging improved all cigars. False- I have smoked some 4 year old cigar that had lost all flavor.

That the same cigar in a different sizes taste the same / are the exact same blend.

I was ones told, while picking out a cigar in my local B&M, the only reason a woman smokes cigars is to pick up men. Made me so mad!!! I was, however, pleasantly surprised when the owner asked the guy to leave the premises until he is able to show respect.

Gotta love the ignorance of some people. I had a guy in Honduras tell me not to bother buying a CC because I wouldn't be able to taste the difference between a "real cigar" and a black and mild. But at least the owner had your back!
