Are the Family reserve blends worth the price? I love the 1964 Anniversary Maduro's. They are my favorite stick up to this point. How much better if any are the family reserve blends? I see they have the No. 44, 45, 46, and the new 85 series. Can anyone briefly break these down? Thanks

That's only a question you can answer.

I find them worth it, but just a few times a year.

I haven't had any of the new ones, but they get great reviews. I would at least try them once for sure.

Yes I have found they are worth the price. Not for daily smokes unless you can really afford it. Great special occasion smokes.

The 46 Maduros are phenomenal! :-)

I really like them, but as others have said you need to find out for yourself. If you have every tried and liked the Padron x000 series or any of the Anniversary series then you will probably like the Family Reserve blends.

I've only had the 45, and while it was a great smoke, it wasn't much better than a usual 64 anny maduro IMO. Plus the price point made it a one time deal for me, I probably won't try another thanks to the price point(that is, unless we get some in at work and I have to work for forever like this week)

They are worth it IMO. Not the most complex cigars but the flavor profile is very nice. I think the 45th maduro is the best out there. The 44th was pretty good as well.

I think the message here is clear: only you can determine if these cigars are worth it.

that's my favorite one also. And it is well worth the $$ to me.

Definitely worth it IMO. But you need to judge for yourself.
