I get the OP's point.
As I said, no rules were stated so anything goes.

However, to answer your question, I think it matters, generally speaking.
As with anything, there will always be exceptions.
If I smoke a Padron 80th and compare it to a R&J Mille Fleur, any guess on what I will think is the hands down winner?
If I smoke a very pricey Montecristo Dunhill Selection from the early 70's and compare it to a Garcia Vega from my local gas station, any guess on what I will think is the hands down winner?

I think that is the point some are trying to make. Sort of like driving a BMW M3 and then comparing it to the ride of a Smart. The winner should be obvious, with occasional exceptions due to taste and personal preferences.

Not my thread so onward with the experiment.

This is a surprise given the wide differences in taste profile.

I can't argue with this statement though it's still a fun thread.

I think this looks like a fun thread, especially if we all take it for what it is, a comparison of cigars based on our own personal experience. Last night I smoked a vintage Cerdan and right after it fired up a 99 HDM du Depute. The Depute won. Even though I did like the flavors of the Cerdan, I liked the HDM more. And to show how varied everyones tastes are, I would pick the RyJ Mille Fleurs CC over the Padron 80th NC as I really enjoy RyJ's and am not a big fan of Padrons.
I think we should all keep this thread light hearted. YMMV
