Sometimes I am a cigar snob. Brands matter but taste rules all. 63 46.67%

Sometimes I am a cigar snob. When I can afford to be. 12 8.89%

I will try anything thats not a flavored cigar. I seem to smoke some of the more popular names more often than not but thats just because it's what I enjoy the most.

Perhaps a cigar snob is someone who verbally assaults another about their choice of cigars.
That being said,
MMM, Habanos.

I make no pretense that Cuban cigars are better. I just enjoy them more, so that's all I smoke. Life is too short to smoke cigars you don't 100% enjoy.
YMMV

I'll try just about anything once, cigarwise. Life's too short to not try things.

never had a CC, so that option is out the window :-)

I thought the poll was asking if I was a Cigar Slob! I'm always getting ashes all over myself, so I answered Yes.

I choose quality, regardless of what country it's from. You cant put a price on something great... :-)

I'll try most cigars once (that leaves out pseudo cigars like blunts, and most flavored sticks). Not going to buy a pricey cigar just because it's pricey, though. I've had too many $2-3 sticks that smoke as well or better than $10-20 sticks!

If smoking what you like and can afford with no lifestyle impacts is considered snobbish by some... well consideration needs to be given to whom the snob label best applies to.

You snob you.:-)

Since the OP probably never saw my question as that is what ignore lists are for, I figured I would "bump" this thread and define the root or key word "snob" based on my Google skills. Once that was accomplished, adding cigar to the front and understanding the meaning was easy.

Snob defined is as follows:

–noun
1. a person who imitates, cultivates, or slavishly admires social superiors and is condescending or overbearing to others.
2. a person who believes himself or herself an expert or connoisseur in a given field and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes regarding this field: a musical snob.

Key words here are "condescending", "overbearing" and "disdainful".
Personally knowing many of the folks that have responded on this thread, adding cigar to this meaning does not define you in any way.
I may be a litany of things but because I enjoy the finer things in life whenever and every time I can, I guess I now know I cannot participate in this poll.

If need be, I can also google those new three words.:-)

Carlos, I think you will need someone other than myself to quote you on your last post for any actual impact on the elusive "snobbery distinction and definition."

Yahtzee!

You too?
Get out of here!!!:-)

5K+ of Tom's post are him saying this exact statement though. :-):-):-)

Tom, keep beating the drum though, your posts always apply and help put things in perspective. :-)

I did not respond to the poll, but I never aspired to be a Cigar Snob. I like to enjoy my cigars. I have some that I like more than others. I'm not locke into any particular brand and I do like trying new things. I like both NC's and CC's, and while I don't much care for Acids, Swishers, etc., I realize that many people like those sticks and it's not for me to put them down for it just because they do...

Live and let live, or as others have quoted: Smoke What You Like, Like What You Smoke!
[Reply]

I can't help myself even if I wanted to, Seth! :-)
[Reply]

yeah...a brand snob. But I also like to try new smokes when I find them.
[Reply]

I'm with you on this one, quality can come in the form of a $2-$3 stick. The ROSA CUBA I get from JR Cigars are real good with a little age. They have them on sell right now bundle of 20 :

GOVERNORS 6.12 x 50 $18.95
HERENCIA 4.5 x 52 $15.95

These are the ones I get...
[Reply]

Most of my smokes are in the $5-$8 range, usually at the lower end, because I refuse to pay more, which is not to say that I don't covet the Tatuajes and Fuentes, but the thought of paying the same amount for a higher priced box when I could have gotten two perfectly acceptable boxes makes my mouth sour.
