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.

I like the 1926, 1964, 80th and 45th Anniversary Maduro's. Or Naturals. I like any Padron

I also like the Fuente Hemmingway Maduros (Best Seller, Short Story, Work of Art, Signature and Classic) and the Between the lines.

In the ultra premium range? I haven't found any cigars that are worth that money.
in the "super premiums" (12-15$) I'd say Padron 1926 Serie Maduro is very good.

I Haven't Found Any Padron Annys In The $12-15 Range. I usually Pay 15-20.

The only cigar that I have ever paid that much(+$20) was a AF OpusX Shark that I think I paid $21(?) for.... Have not smoked it yet, so no idea if it was worth it....

Hmmm 1 stick for $20 bones or more or 2 - 3 sticks I like just as well. I'll take the 2 - 3 sticks every day and get more smoke time. Maybe raised to frugal....

NC:
- Forbidden X Lancero
- Forbidden X Toro
- Padrón 45th Anniversary Maduro

CC:
- Cohiba Siglo VI Gran Reserva (these are an incredible f****** cigar, and I wouldn't regret paying the price for another single or two).

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.

This is a great stick. For some reason, the 1926 is the only Padron line that I like the naturals almost as much as the maduros. Strange, but all their others it's maduros hands down.

Although for this I would say the Padron 40th Maddie is worth every penny.

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

Habanos Torres 20yr Lancero's. I am a cheap smokes lover, but the Habanos Torres Lancero's are worth every penny.

[kenstogie]

I had a 5 year old Opus X that was actually a gift but was absolutely fantastic and worth $20

CC's - None

NC's - None

Ha... but in reality, I don't go north of 8-10 a stick by the box, and normally won't go north of 5.00 a stick by the box unless its something I have to have, but even that has not happened..... yet. A cab of something special Litto does could one day ruin that for me though. My most expensive box purchase to date was (still have most of it) Tatuaje Noellas pre-SCHIP at 156.00 shipped from Holts.

I thought I was ballin' at the time too considering how cheap I am when it comes to most smokes. Cigars to me experience the law of diminishing returns real quick as the price escalates. YMMV

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.
