So DZR's "Grumpy Old BOTLs" thread 
reminded me of this Would You Rather question. I think it goes something like this:
WOULD YOU RATHER...
Have to smoke the same cigar every time you smoke for the rest of your life - it can be any cigar, your choice, but only that cigar
-OR-
Smoke a different cigar every time you smoke for the rest of your life, but you can never smoke the same cigar twice?

My favorite cigar list here
Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!
Oh when the Blues, Oh when the Blues, Oh when the Blues go marching in!
Some of us remember a time when there were very little choices in cigars available.
There were those odd cigars that were produced by small places and that, but the majority of your choices were the big names. Mac, RyJ, Upmann, Monte, Partagas, Fuente and the like.
Then the 90s hit. And there were literally hundreds of new names popping up all over.
Even Movie/Action stars got into the act with horrendous cigars.
30 years ago, If you walked into a cigar store, you would find mostly only the big names.
Then on the lower shelves would be the few odd cigars they would carry for folks who didn't know anything about cigars and the machine mades.
And cigars were sold at a lot of places. Newspaper stands/stores, pharmacies and places like that.
Now, you will rarely find hand mades at anywhere other than cigar stores. There may still be those rare convenience/drug stores that carry a few, but those are rapidly disappearing.
I can remember a time when I was younger, going into the drug store with my dad and his cigar smoking friend and he would buy a cigar, cut it and light it. RIGHT IN THE STORE!
So, to answer the question.......I would go with different, but being stuck with the same cigar over and over wouldn't bother me that much.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
To me, the key rule is "you can never smoke the same cigar twice." What would be the point of wading through a score of duds to find a winner if you could never order up a box of them? Nope. That guarantees a string of so-sos and failures followed by another regret, then dragged back to the not-for-mes. Makes no sense.
i would have to say the same cigar for the rest of my life. i know what i like. i want to know i will like a cigar every time i pick it up. i like knowing that there is a cigar i will like waiting for me at any moment.
this would destroy my blog but if push came to shove this is where i would head.
thankfully these hypothetical are not reality.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
