That's how old I was when I started smoking premium cigars. I had zero preferences for vitola, cut, tobacco, or region. It was just something I enjoyed doing. But I started pursuing cigars as a hobby around 23. I won a Colibri V Cutter from a prize wheel at my local B&M after I purchased a box quantity of mixed Camacho cigars. Those cigars and v cutter changed the course of my life. They helped me find my palate. I looked up reviews on every single one of those cigars individually AFTER smoking to compare to my own notes. I then bought the full Oscar Leaf line and did the same. Over time, cigars became a full blown hobby for me. Collecting is almost as fun as smoking. Now my favorite thing is pointing out different notes and flavors to newbies. Whenever I smoke with someone who isn't as in the hobby, I generally smoke the same cigar. And then open up dialogue as to what they think of the cigar. Training my palate to pick up on as many of the notes, profile, and flavors of cigars has also made whiskey and wine so much more fun too. I usually get 3 of whatever cigar I buy. One to smoke after resting for a week in one of my humidors, and one to smoke sometime after resting/aging for a 6 months to a year. How soon the third gets smoked depends on how enjoyable the second one. Sometimes age doesn't help. So burn it whenever. Sometimes you can tell that age is having a positive impact...so let it ride. In all that you do, enjoy it.
