I once went to a restaurant and had a bad experience. I was at a party a couple of weeks later discussing local restaurants and gave my unfavorable review. Someone said you should always give a restaurant a second chance because they could have had an off night. I took that advice and went back and it became one of my favorites. I use that advice all of the time with cigars and have been pleasantly rewarded. That being said, I will try a cigar and if I don't like it, I let it rest for another 6 months and give it another try. If I don't like when I complete the box, I will not buy another. I did not like Partagas shorts until they hit 3 years old and now I love them!
