I know, it's like asking, Ginger, or MaryAnn.... we all have our preferences and for good reasons that may be only our own. This topic may have been covered here before, but since it's an ongoing thing for most of us, maybe it can be revisited. Some of us may have changed our minds over time... like, you know, MaryAnn can really throw together a mean coconut creme pie, and with those little shorts and pigtails, I mean, damn.... But, then, Ginger...tall, slender, Ginger... in that sparkly split dress, those legs... and red hair... well... that's a choice that may change from day to day. Like cello. ON or OFF?
Personally, I like both, and this is something I've sort of come to do over time. I'm not locked into one brand, or one size, wrapper, strength or flavor profile. I just like cigars. ALL kinds of cigars, and I have several different offerings in my humidors pretty much all the time. The bulk of my stock, I leave in the cello. But, I will take a few different ones out and let them lay naked in the humidor for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks and then choose my daily smokes from that lot. I don't worry about flavors marrying. I just let the tobacco do what it does and then enjoy it as it is. Usually, I will get a better burn, better draw, and a more flavorful smoke from my stash that way. Not to mention, the aroma that greets my nasal passages when I open a humidor full of naked cigars. Well, it's even better than coconut creme pie.
I'm interested in hearing what you think.
By the way, for my money, it's MaryAnn, all the way, with the cello off, covered in coconut creme... no wait... Ginger. NO, wait, MaryAnn, no wait.... oh crap.
