Thanks Mark for your nice comment. I enjoy both cigars and my pipe, but my palate deals with each in a different way.:stogie::pipe: When I find a cigar that I really love it is as if I was enjoying a beautiful red ripe tomato and a year later I smoke the same cigar and sometimes it is as if my tomato was not quite ripe. Now when I really love brand A pipe tobacco and try it again after a year or so I find that brand B is very similar to Brand A but I now like brand B better.:crazy: I have no idea why this is but my palate says so. So with cigars I find it necessary to re-visit my old loves before making a new cigar purchase. I have never forgot what an old time cigar smoker (Cigary) told me when I first came back to cigars and my pipe on the old Puff Forum " enjoy the journey".:wave:
