I'd say I'm somewhere in between #1 and #2. I always keep a nice stock of my tried and true cigars. I love trying new sticks but I have to admit that some just don't interest me. I don't like the super strong sticks, and I don't spend a lot of time chasing after the HTF ones. I will say that most of what I smoke CC's and NC's alike are in the $5to $12 range.

How about a #4?
I get on the forum, wait for you guys to be the guinea pigs.. see if you rave about it.. then I try it and see if I like it...
:-)
No number 4? I'll be the number 2 then!

I definitely fall into category 2. I enjoy reading reviews and posts from other cigar smokers to see what they like, especially reviews that detail the quality and flavor of the cigar. I enjoy savoring the flavors of different cigars, similar to enjoying a bar that serves many international and small label beers. You are going to hate some of the cigars, some are OK, and then you hit those few fabulous smokes.
Those fabulous smokes are the ones I keep in my larger humidor for regular smoking, but I keep a smaller humidor with a variety of cigars to sample. I think that humidor has about 15 different labels in it right now. I guess I had better go smoke one and count.
Where do you guys find the best cigar reviews? Do you prefer here on the forum, or on sites like Cigar Inspector, Cigar Aficionado, Puff, or other sites?
