Are Expensive Cigar Expensive?

[Rockin' Republican]

I smoked a C.A.O. Maduro last night for thirty minutes, and still had some left for another day. Tonight I enjoyed a Garcia y Vega, a much cheaper cigar, i got at a rite aid. The cigar I smoked tonight cost me just over a dollar. And it burned up very fast. As far as minutes of enjoyment go, I'd say the C.A.O. is cheaper than the Cheapo.
Have any of you done the math or thought about it?

I think what you have is a question of moisture content and realtive quality of the tobacco. First, the GyV is probably much much drier than the CAO. Also, if the GyV is a mixed filler machine made cigar, it is probably rolled a lot looser than the CAO, which also would lead to a faster burning cigar. Just my 2 cents.
