Current taste:
Prefer premium mainstream brands but always open to new experiences and have enjoyed decent middle market cigars. My taste are bigger than my wallet so I prefer to smoke less often than some but better quality when I do. Besides it is better for me.
Diamond Crown Maximus, Don Carlos Presidente, Ashton VSG's among my inventoried domestics but the list is too long to list. My taste are all over the place. I think a surprising cigar I ever had was a AVO mini-bellicoso which is a very reasonably priced cigar that is often rated 91+.

I have limited ISOM experience but not by choice.

I guess my taste are medium bold but each event calls for the right punch. Sometimes mild, sometimes bold and other times medium. What I call mild are others medium so I assume my tastes are evolving.

I rarely smoke alone/prefer special occasions or with friends especially under the stars solving the worlds problems or sometimes by myself during a lightning storm in the Summer.

In the past few years I have started to explore the realm of pipes. My current pipe collection (15+) includes a Nording, an original spiral Ben Wade, a small meerschaum direct from Turkey my dad picked out while visit my brother, a weird stone pipe, a long clay period pipe, Stanwell Royal Danish 988, Medico, Digby, Woodie, Camden, Guidehall, a prized Dunhill, and even a corncob.
