Geeze Conan... you sound like you took the same trip I did.
I found a new passion and went 'all in'. I had to know every-damn-thing. I tried a lot of smokes... hell, I remember when I tried vanilla cigars and thought they were good. Candelas? Yum. Then I did a newb trade with DMV and had a Master Blends, a VSG, and a number of other cigars that made me think what I had sucked.
Oh... and then I got back on a Havana kick. Bought the Illustrated Encyclopedia and dove in again. Never looked back.
This guy has one hell of a trip lined up... I recall discovering new, more flavorful smokes... and now I can't taste all the nuances any more.
I did have a CoRo this morning... and remembered why they cost so much.
