Anyone else get stuck into brand "loyalty"?

I too, have some favorites, and keep those on hand. They're like that worn out pair of jeans your wife says are trash, but are oh so comfortable. I'm also lucky enough to be a short drive from a cigar bar, where the owner sponsors monthly tasting events, so I get a chance to try and buy ifferent cigars I may ordinarily pass over.

Errrr.... I forgot what the question was.....😁

DROY,
Don't fret overmuch,the slight sense of confusion, losing track of thoughts is easily explained (as Dr. Hue Ming's research reveals) is due to the the euphoric state one may experience when in the midst of powerful emotions.
Surely many envy your luck to have Smokin' Monkey to see off any of the weeping Cupcakes venturing from their safe places in search of more Play-doh & coloring books.
Leaving you free to spend the nights of the Super Moon sparking....getting to know, Smokin' Monkey's Girl friend.
You're ever so lucky to be able to count on those two with you always.

I used to do the opposite... I had brand prejudice and found myself not trying cigars by a certain brand because the first one I smoked from them didn't appeal to me. I just this year started making a concentrated effort to break out of this pattern.

But I do have a problem saying no to any AJ Fernandez stick. I LOVE him so I end up smoking things (like a Connecticut wrapper) that I normally wouldn't simply because it has his name on it.

Remember the AJ Fernandez Signature Series Cigars? I loved those and bought 2 boxes and about a year later they went extinct...never to be made again and I'm still grieving today. The person who got me smoking them was a good friend....The Katman...here's his review and he was spot on with it.
