I have been smoking cigars for over 10 years. I have my favorites and I always like to try new smokes as well. I smoke 1-2 cigars a day (at least in the spring/summer) and like a wide variety of cigars. Some of my all time favorites are PSD4, Tat Brown labels, Padron x0000, Monte #2, CAO Cameroon and lately I have been really enjoying the Taboo HSG and Special Forces (hats off Rob, these are great).
My question is this, I spent the night at the The Borgata in Atlantic City for my 18th anniversary on Tues night. I decided for this special occaision I was going to break out a Padron 80th Anniversay Maduro. Now, while this was certainly a fantastic smoke all around, great taste, great burn, great draw, etc., I am just not sure that at $25/stick, it is really worth that much money. I would have a hard time saying that it was so much better than my other favs, that it is worth 3 - 5 times the cost. I mean for the price of a box of 80th with only 8 sticks, I can get a box of many great top name smokes, including my favorite CC smokes, with 20-25 sticks.
Just wondering how everyone weighs in on this.
