I kept buying mild cigars — even though I consistently rated stronger ones higher.

Not because mild cigars were better.

Because stronger ones felt risky.

Every time I did smoke a stronger cigar, I rated it higher. Still, I kept going back to “safe” mild choices.

Time passed. Money was spent.

The same mistake repeated.

I rated this mild cigar high — but the app scores it low because my history clearly shows I prefer stronger cigars.

Contradiction Point

I stopped trusting memory and built a small app to track what I actually enjoy.

Once everything was logged, the pattern was impossible to ignore:

I don’t prefer mild cigars.

I just avoided stronger ones out of fear.
