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

[AuTechCoM]

Over the past 16 or so months I have learned a ton of cool stuff. I was just sitting here thinking about how far my enjoyment of this hobby has come and all the stuff I have learned since I found this hobby

A small portion of the Things I thought and how they are wrong:

Always buy the biggest cigar or you are not a man = FALSE! I now enjoy the smaller RG sticks to get the most flavor from the wrapper.

It has to be the strongest cigar ever = FALSE! While I do enjoy a good strong full bodied smoke. The lighter side is just as enjoyable

It has to be expensive to be good = FALSE! There are plenty of sticks out there that don’t break the bank and smoke just as good as a more expensive stick.

Active humidification is the only way to go = FALSE! Man am I glad I dodged that bullet and am now enjoying the maintenance free life using Boveda packs while I wait for my wine cooler to setup my beads

I only need a 20ct desktop humi = FALSE FALSE FALSE!!! Well 3 big desktops and a 46QT Tuperdor later, I am finally building my wineador

It is weird to have this as a hobby = FALSE! Well I guess we all are a little weird but at least we have a place to be weird with other weirdo's.

I have had a bunch of Cubans while on the beaches in the Bahamas and Mexico = FALSE!!! Well we all know this one. Right?

Have you guys experienced changes in your thought or how you enjoy this hobby after joining a community such as this? I know that I am glad to be here and Thanks to all of you guys for helping a noob out.
