I just like finding a pleasent medium, something that while it may not be the the greatest smoke in the world, will satisfy me while not breaking the bank, even if it means that it has some negative attributes compared to a "premium" cigar.
Ah, that makes sense. BTW, don't overestimate the psychological power that the brand/band has on your smoking experience. The last mega review series showed how little correlation there can be between price/enjoyment.

Exactly. It isn't "Life is too short to smoke inexpensive cigars," it is "Life is too short to smoke $hitty cigars." For example, I'll put down a cigar after a 1/2" if I don't like it, or throw out a box rather than smoking cigars that I found to be cr*p (even after sitting).
