Just because someone is easily impressed by the cost of cigars, doesn't make them an afficianado. Nor does it make them correct.

First, smoke what you like - and take the time to enjoy it.

Secondly, cost may have nothing to do with quality of a cigar. There are some $25 a stick dog rockets out there. There are also some $0.50 dog rockets. Of course, I have smoked some cigars at $25 a stick that blew my socks off - never had a fitty-center do that though.

Most of my cigars (as I watch the sales) come in at $2.00-$4.50 a cigar.

Don't let them get under your skin.

I knew some guys like that, they wouldn't know a good cigar if it came and bit them in the buttocks. Take the bands off and let them pick their favorites out of a bunch of cigars the same size, and they couldn't do it.

Good thing to do is try some cigars w/out bands, just to see what you really like. Sometimes the super-premium is that good, too often, it isn't.

Where, with who, with what, and the conversation will often be of more importance that the cigar. If you have to smoke with them, let some of the brothers here know - I'm sure we can send you some band that you can put on your sticks so that when you get together with them, they'll be oooing and aaahhhing. I"ll bet we can get enough bands so that you can put them on some cheaper cigars and pass them out... I'd like to be there as they brag on their fitty-sent smoke in the $50 band. HAHAHA!!!

Peace of the Lord be with you brother.
