I always find this a fascinating topic among cigar smokers. I know there are some that don't think any cigar is work a certain price tag and at auctions I have seen other smokers get in bidding wars over certain rare/premium smokes.

My question is this what rare/premium smoke have you paid $20 or more that you felt was worth it and you would be willing to pay that again for the same cigar. I have a couple for me.

God of Fire (Don Carlos blend) -- all time fav smoke
Padron 1964 (little hammer 45yr I think) -- had it this weekend.

Tatuaje RC184.

I don't smoke Padrons often, I wouldn't even say they're a favorite, but even for the price they are, the 64s and 26s blow me away every time.

NC? None.

Padron 1926 Anny Nat!

I like the 1926, 1964, 80th and 45th Anniversary Maduro's. Or Naturals. I like any Padron :-)

I also like the Fuente Hemmingway Maduros (Best Seller, Short Story, Work of Art, Signature and Classic) and the Between the lines.

In the ultra premium range? I haven't found any cigars that are worth that money.
in the "super premiums" (12-15$) I'd say Padron 1926 Serie Maduro is very good.

I Haven't Found Any Padron Annys In The $12-15 Range. I usually Pay 15-20.:-)
[Reply]

The only cigar that I have ever paid that much(+$20) was a AF OpusX Shark that I think I paid $21(?) for.... Have not smoked it yet, so no idea if it was worth it....
[Reply]

Hmmm 1 stick for $20 bones or more or 2 - 3 sticks I like just as well. I'll take the 2 - 3 sticks every day and get more smoke time. Maybe raised to frugal....

Hate to say it as it sounds elitist, but it is truly how I feel
[Reply]

NC:
- Forbidden X Lancero
- Forbidden X Toro
- Padrón 45th Anniversary Maduro

CC:
- Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva (these are an incredible f****** cigar, and I wouldn't regret paying the price for another single or two).

That isn't elitist at all, Shawn. You just know what you like.
I'm the complete polar opposite. I have a hard time ponying up cash for cc's at any price. I'm desperately trying to find one that's worth 20 bucks, though. :-)
In NC's, the Don Carlos Anniversario is worth the occasional expense. So are a few of the 26 maddies. There are tons of $10.00 Litto sticks I'd pay 20 bucks for if I had to. :-)

This is a great stick. For some reason, the 1926 is the only Padron line that I like the naturals almost as much as the maduros. Strange, but all their others it's maduros hands down.

Although for this I would say the Padron 40th Maddie is worth every penny.
[Reply]

Padron 1926 and 1964 series. Although most do not near the $20 a stick range
[Reply]

Habanos Torres 20yr Lancero's. I am a cheap smokes lover, but the Habanos Torres Lancero's are worth every penny.
[Reply]

I had a 5 year old Opus X that was actually a gift but was absolutely fantastic and worth $20
[Reply]

CC's - None

NC's - None

Ha... but in reality, I don't go north of 8-10 a stick by the box, and normally won't go north of 5.00 a stick by the box unless its something I have to have, but even that has not happened..... yet. A cab of something special Litto does could one day ruin that for me though. My most expensive box purchase to date was (still have most of it) Tatuaje Noellas pre-SCHIP at 156.00 shipped from Holts.

I thought I was ballin' at the time too considering how cheap I am when it comes to most smokes. Cigars to me experience the law of diminishing returns real quick as the price escalates. :-) YMMV
[Reply]

Hmmmm. A bit snobbish, wouldn't you say?

I have found that the majority of CCs that I have smoked were overrated, but I wouldn't make a blanket statement and say that was true of all CCs.
