What Ultra Premium Cigar is worth the price?

[GodOfFire]

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.

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.

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

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.

Not snobbish at all. People have different tastes and preferences.

Nope, I just feel their are NO "premium" NC's worth MY money.

The only one for me really was the Padron 80th. Worth every damn penny

Haven't smoked too many other $20+ sticks though...

They were very good . One of the best NC's I've ever had , just couldn't afford to buy any boxes at the time .

[tedrodgerscpa]

I'd have to say the Padron Hammer was one of the most refined NCs I've ever smoked. I think they retail for over $20, but I'd smoke one a year at $20

I'd also pay $20 for a Tatuaje La Maravilla.

Otherwise, I'm pretty much with everyone else... Too much nice stuff in the $4 ~ $8 range that will tickle my palate for a long time!

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