No you're not the only one, I'm surrounded by people that swear by sticks just because of the band. I myself was probably a victim of doing the same when I first tried cigars, but it something that quickly changed the first time I had a Davidoff. I remember turning toward my cousin and exclaiming something along the lines of wtf if this and how much did you pay for those again?! Now there's no doubt that Davidoff is a premium cigar brand, but I've never been able to detect more than a sight note of brown paper bag from them. On the flip side... Recently I was given an online store production esclusive stick (wrath by studio tobac) and I reluctantly lit it up as to not offend the host, but the stick gave me a great performance and a nice favor ride $9 cigars fail to have done.

So in short. "As the saying goes taste is subjective", so just trust your taste buds, try everything and smoke what you like.
