I really like the Davidoff Aniversario #3. That one in particular really does it for me, it's like an Avo XO with all the best flavors front and center.

Once upon a time there were dozens of NCs I would have put on this list, but now there is not a single NC I would pay more than $12 for personally. Not one.

There are several premium CCs I've smoked that I would have, once upon a time bought box upon box of. But luckily I am settling into a place where I am pretty happy with my everyday kinds of smokes.

I haven't found a non-cuban cigar yet that I think is worth that price. I don't think that's snobbish at all... just the facts.

Once I discovered CC's and the value they present, i find it hard paying for a box of NC's.

I used to love these cigars so much, but the last time I had one it left me quite cold.

There are a hand full of NC's I have and will pay to have in my humi, but as time goes by and our great US tax on cigars keep growing. The value in CC's gets better all the time.

However when compairing cigars, I try to compair NC's to NC's and CC's to CC's. IMHO

I respect all opinions but can't help but crack up when I see the wide variety of responses subjects like this can get.

If you think over $20 for a NC, which I treat myself to at least 4-6 a year, check out some of the crap people are willing to pay big bucks for. I love my '26 #1, the 40th, the 80th and the 45th, all from Padron and all well over $20.

Different strokes, for different folks.

[quote=RightAJ;811295]The only one for me really was the Padron 80th. Worth every damn penny

Agreed 100 percent. It is an AWESOME cigar.

Re: What Ultra Premium Cigar is worth the price?
 
I'm coming to this thread a little late, but the wide variety of responses here confirm for me that a cigar's worth is entirely a matter of personal opinion.

If trends count for anything, I've noticed that the majority of NC ultra premiums enthusiasts buy/sell/trade among each other seem to be Fuentes or Tatuajes. I love all the higher end Fuentes and I'm willing to pay the $$ that these go for. On the other hand, I am often disappointed by the price and flavor of most Tats.

The thing is, you will find an equal number of people who agree and disagree with me, so I would encourage everyone to smoke a variety of premium cigars and decide what you personally feel is worth the price.

as a side note, I have to agree with everybody who says that there aren't any premium NCs worth the price when compared to their Cuban counterparts, but is that really a fair comparison?

cheers! :ss

NO nc is worth the premium... why bother when you can get like a monte sumblime, ryj duke, etc for the same price.. and from my understanding, nc dont' age well either

Not true. There are many nc's that age wonderfully. Pepin's and Padrons are just a couple that I have had with more than 4/5 years on them.
