    I too have yet to purchase a full box but I have bought a lot of samplers and DD's based on what I read here in the forums and taking into account my personal tastes.. I don't have a big enough humi to be buying boxes just yet but when I get my coolidor underway I will probably have to splurge and buy a few :)
    Smoke 'em if you got 'em

    I bought a box of Victor Sinclair 10th Anniversario cigars without ever having tried one. I had smoked their Connecticut Yankee (surprise, surprise) and I like it, so I pulled the trigger on the box because of the price at the time.

    ^This.

    I'd only had a couple sticks (local house blends) before I went somewhat nuts and bought a humi with accessories and had it stuffed full with sticks I've never had.

    When I get around to making a 'significant' purchase, it will probably be of something I've had and enjoyed.

    just ordered the best of 2009 complete sampler after seeing how awesome and tasty the COTM cigars looked.  I haven't even tried any of cotm's yet, since I'm going to let them rest a while, same with the sampler when it shows up.  I'll just smoke the cigar.com house blend purple corona for a while... it's not a bad cigar (bought a box), again without trying first...compared to other cigars of a similar price, it's a good one.

    I guess I like to live dangerously.

    So I have no idea what experience I'm going to get from any of them, lol.

    I bought a box of 06 dc god of fires before trying them. I never regretted it, but I have yet to have smoked all of them. I did buy another box of them though.

    Early on I went for 4 5-packs of Diesels when they went on the DD before trying them. It turns out I really like'em, so that worked out. I bought a box (10 count) of Oliveros LTD before trying them, loved'em, then bought 2 more. I haven't spent any big money yet, but I'm sure there will be a day when it will happen. So far it has been working out well in almost every case.

    Yeah, several times at least. It's usually worked out fine. On the other hand.... anyone want some Bucanero Reds?

    I do this often (especially if it's a brand that I've had good experience with in the past. It's been hit and miss but the good thing is that u cam usually trade off sticks that u don't like to others that are interested in trying them.

    It sucks there are two blends but both are good. I like the carols blend a bit more. I don't know how easy it is to still get the 06, but I know there is a 07 out now, which I might get as well. I need to know more about the blend though.

    As new as I am to this hobby, I have a feeling that there will be a lot of "blind buys" in my near future, especially with the great daily deals here...
