I have smoked numerous Cuban cigars as well as less expensive cigars and can tell no difference, nor do I find them enjoyable. And it's the same thing with sushi.
I go out with people who love them and want me to do it as well. I tell them I don't like sushi or cigars and they act shocked. IMPOSSIBLE! I should try some. I have tried some. I've had the same conversation with 50 people. I've tried it and I don't like it. What do you want from me? Well, you just haven't had the right kind. So they assure me that if I have THIS cigar or THIS type of sushi, I'll be turned around. I ask them if they have any gay friends that they try and "fix" in the same way.
But to prevent a long drawn out argument about the Christian Crusade like manner of their argument, I force it down, and assure them that my opinion has not changed. I don't see the interest in cigars and I don't like sushi. And I make them pay.
Not making any point to you about it. Just remember how it's known to be a horrible personal trait to treat those who disagree with you as stupid, sheltered, broken, ignorant (though no one is less tolerant than a die-hard liberal), while when I explain that I don't like cheese, mayo, butter, sushi, cigars, caviar, and other areas of taste, people act like I'm some simpleton who a disorder of some sort.
