There is a guy at the local cigar shop back home that is my cigar role model. He could have raked me good the first time I came in, when I was 20 years old, and got a good, one-time sale out of me, but he did not. He sold me a nice variety of cigars, told me to try them one day at a time, and come back to him and tell him what I liked. I did, and then he did the same thing again, and I quickly learned what I liked and didn't like.
Everytime I go back home, I stop in the shop and drop a nice amount on cigars there, instead of getting disgruntled at cigars after the first time I went into that shop.
Oh yeah, and Joe M. Always my elder with great advice...
