    Help me decide - I can't be an idiot again

    I posted a thread Friday night detailing out the troublesome case of me being an idiot by smoking 2 cigars I had been waiting to try (Tat Black and Norteno) and I ruined them by smoking them so close to having had a cold. I got the cold either Tuesday or Wednesday and felt mostly better by Friday but my taste wasn't back and those two prime smokes I had been waiting months to try for the first time were ruined.

    It's supposed to be a beautiful day in Upstate Indiana today and I am smoking something. Help me decide what to smoke. Another famous DogRockets poll is commencing!

    You can choose between 4 cigars that I have. Two of them were gifted to me (you can probably tell which ones) and I have been previously avoiding smoking them. Perhaps today is the day? The other two are sticks I enjoy but at a price where if they're ruined by no taste I won't be as upset as I was Friday.

    In no way would I ever tell someone to have the first two on your poll. Have something you have several of. That being said, and knowing your collection a Phalanx is the logical answer.

    Contrary to Brent, I rather enjoy the Dark Shark. And at that price if the taste is muffled some you haven't lost too much.

    The last Phalanx I smoked took 2 hours. I'd think the Virtue would be a lot milder as well.

    I'd wait until the cold is gone. I've had one for over a week, and it sucks, but at least I know I'm not a major nicotine addict! I don't enjoy smoking at all when I'm sick. If you must, go for the Dark Shark. Probably more flavor that the Don Rafael, and you won't be wasting a MoW.

    Instead of wasting the MOW when you can't fully appreciate it just send it to me... Hahaha. I wouldn't waste a mow if I was unsure I could enjoy it. I'd probably burn something else.

    Great success! I had a virtue and I could taste it. Now lighting up a Gurkha centurian as a second stick. An @AlanS special
