It was easy with this cigar. And as the ash grew, it showed the waving pattern of the filler leaves. Not that all that has much to do with the taste, but, as reader Mac and Nudo reminded us recently, aesthetics are important.

Just a couple of hours ago, I smoked a Lot 23 maduro earlier and thought how the easy light, perfect draw and razor-sharp burn enhanced my enjoyment of the stick.

Discovering exactly why we like or dislike certain stogies is absolutely vital for all cigar enthusiasts. Personally, I derive the most pleasure from well-balanced cigars. I know it's cliché, but I want a taste that's even on the palate. For instance, if the flavor is very bitter, I want that to be complimented by a sweetness. If it's salty and dry, I'm looking for acidity. I'd love to hear what everyone else looks for in their cigars... Very cool article, George.

I'd love to hear what everyone else looks for in their cigars…
