Perdomo Edicion de Silvio

[Newfie]

I've had a few of these and while a pretty good cigar, I just found out the MSRP on 'em. ???

I know taste and enjoyment of a smoke is quite the YMMV thing, but holy crap, does anyone find they're worth the price of a Super Premium??

 

[WhiteAshes]

No way. Unless, of course, it's the best smoke you've ever had... It is, after all, all about the way the flavor hits you.

These fall into the same category for me as Graycliff.

I'm not sure any smoke is worth the price of those. In fact, I've never paid that much for any cigar (for myself anyway). I've gifted a few but never bought one for me.

I've had a couple of Silvios and they were very good. But I've never actually had to pay for one.

I've said this many times;
There are lots and lots of REALLY good cigars out there for $7 - $15 (MSRP), so it's just not necessary to spend $30+ for one. In fact, me being the cheap bastard I am, I'm more likely to be disappointed with a $30 cigar just because I expect so much from it.

....aaanndddd..... Most of those REALLY good cigars can be had online a lot cheaper than $7-$15.

Just my 2 cents.

When I was newer to cigars, there was a group buy on CP for the Coffin ones, $30/each. I learned my lesson on that one.

I agree, and personally, there's a bunch even lower than $7 that I'd prefer to those (again, a YMMV thing) but AF SS, Edge Missile, any Padron #000, etc. And that doesn't include the ones in the range you set like DCM #5, almost any VSG and many Opus' & Anejos when available.

I was not impressed. Thank god I did not pay for them. IMO, they are nothing special and even had a bit of an odd taste overtone. I can't remember if it was metallic or what but not something I'd pay $10 for much less $30.

I thought it was an ok cigar, I enjoyed it but it is not close to being worth the price. I have no idea what Perdomo is thinking when he sets prices for some of his cigars.

He's thinking "Someone is going to buy these. Someone always does."
