Are just OK cigars worth it?

It's disappointing to start a yard cigar after having a killer stick earlier that day or even the day before. Probably the best way to try is to get one at the cigar shop and have a sit & chill out and see what develops. If it sucks, at least you're only out one lousy stick. Better than buying a five pack and getting stuck with mediocre sticks.

It depends... while I love all the AMAZING cigars out there, OK sticks have their place also IMHO, for instance... If I am going to be working on the truck and want a smoke an OK stick is perfect for this... Or if I am going to be on a boat where water or spray might kill the stick.... or if I am working hard out in the yard working up a sweat...

OK- cigars are good for time fillers, when something else might pop up and you have to put the stick out prematurely...

I think that great cigars are good for times that I am sitting down to smoke and can pay attention to the cigar and its quality... if I am going to passively smoke a cigar, not reason it should be an expensive one... IMHO...
