Recognizing Patterns in Your Best Smokes

You have 5 favorite cigars. You think they are unrelated. One is a Cuban, one is a Dominican, one is a Nicaraguan Maduro. What connects them?

Patterns are rarely obvious. They hide in the sub-data.

The Hidden Variables

Most smokers look at: Brand, Country, Wrapper.

But the real DNA of your taste often lies in:

• Factory consistency: You might love different brands that are all rolled at the same factory (e.g., My Father Cigars factory handles many non-My Father brands).
• Binder varietal: The binder is the unsung hero of flavor structure. You may have a high affinity for Sumatra binders without knowing it.
• Priming: You might consistently rate "Viso" dominant cigars higher than "Ligero" bombs because you prefer aromatics over raw power.

How to Spot Your Own Patterns

Take your top 3 cigars of all time. Ignore the wrapper.

Look for the Factory. Look for the Master Blender. Look for the Soil Region (e.g., Jalapa vs. Esteli).

You will almost certainly find a link. Once you find that link, you can buy any cigar that shares it with 90% confidence.
