Usually it is the higher priced smokes that carry a higher expecation of a quality cigar for me. For example, every Padron Anniversary I have tried over the years (with age or without) has done absolutely nothing for me while the Classic Series are one of my favorite smokes ROTT - which works out pretty well for my cigar budget.
