    Anyone else get stuck into brand "loyalty"?

    I tend to find a brand- AF a perfect example, that I fall in love with and have a hard time branching out from that particular brand. Anyone else have this?

    I wouldn't say I have much in the way of brand loyalty as I haven't tried enough of one brand to stick, that said I find if I fine one I really like, others of the same brand become targets for future purchases. I really like perdomo's lot 23 so I find myself wanting to try more perdomo cigars.

    Too many good cigars out there to stick to just one brand. I do find that certain brands tend to appeal to me more, and when I find those brands I'm excited about trying more of their product.

    For quite a long time I stuck with a few brands, likely four or five, and buying boxes, usually of more or less the same sizes in those brands. Smoking other brands, sizes in lesser numbers.After finding and joining Cigarbum tho still buying boxes, have smoked a much wider variety of cigars. Never did an inventory or count of cigars on hand prior to January first 2015. Determined to reduce the number on hand to no more than sixty cigars. Number on hand right now is closer to where it was on Jan 1st, 2015.

    Know this isn't really an answer to the question. But starting to think about this and will likely update after I've gotten a bit of sleep.

    I lean pretty strongly towards Fuente and my hoard reflects that. But there are several others that I enjoy and am open to continuing to almost anything. But Fuente tobacco just tastes right to me in most cases.

    I will try and pick up something different whenever I hit a lounge and will tend to buy individual or five packs of different assortments. What I have realized my "Brand Loyalty" leans more toward my box purchases.

    I'll have to agree that there are too many cigars out here to stay with just one maker. But I'm also of the school where when you find something that you like, make sure that you always have a few on hand.

    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.

    Nothing wrong with that. Nothing feels as good as a little AJF in your mouth.

    I do have go to brands but I am always looking to try new cigars.

    I use to lean on the big brand names because they are more often than not appealed to my sense of taste. I tend to think of Padron, AF, AJ Fernandez as my legal wives and the rest of the cigars I really like are my concubines.
