The "Humidor Stare." Every smoker knows it. You stand before hundreds of cigars, paralyzed by choice, and end up grabbing the same reliable stick you smoked last Tuesday.
This happens because you are trying to maximize "flavor," which is subjective, instead of matching "context," which is objective.
Don't ask "what do I want to taste?" Ask "what are my constraints?"
Be honest. Do you have 90 minutes or 45? Choosing a Churchill when you only have an hour forces you to smoke hot and fast, ruining the flavor. Size is a function of time, not preference.
What did you just eat? If you had a steak, a mild Connecticut will taste like hot air. If you haven't eaten, a strong Nicaraguan puts you on the floor. Match intensity to your current biological state.
Are you smoking to meditate, or smoking while talking/working? High-complexity cigars demand attention. If you are distracted, smoke something linear and consistent. Save the $30 Opus X for when you can actually listen to it.
When you are truly stuck, bias is your enemy. Cigar AI removes the bias by analyzing your past satisfaction in similar time/day slots and suggesting the cigar that historically wins in this specific context.
