Todd, what an excellent post first off. Very intriguing. Personally I have only been smoking cigars for about eight or nine years with a three year break in the middle and after that break I did find that many of the hot brands/cigars that people were raving about when I left, had disappeared when I returned. I distinctly remember the CAO Vision being raved about.

I think you bring up a topic that is found in every consumer product. You have to have the latest and greatest. And high dollar means premium even when it is t true. Is that what marketing and high demand of limited quantity has done to us? Who knows. I know I've bought that $20 stick expecting it to be the best cigar of my life only to be disappointed after burning it.

All I can say is I will continue to try new things based purely on what looks good to me.
