...and the price differences in the "garment industry" for "high-end" versus regular production (with which you say you have some knowledge). I'm grasping here (because I don't work in or around the garment industry), but as a consumer that has "experienced" garments trhoughout my life I'm seeking to understand your rationale here...
Are you suggesting that generic winter coats made for Walmart or Kmart are only "pennies" difference in comparison with winter coats made by/for North Face or Columbia?!? ...shirts made by companies supplying Walmart or Kmart being "pennies" different than shirts made for Ralph Lauren or Nautica?!?
...or purses made for JC Penney or Wackenhut are only "pennies" difference with purses made by/for Coach or Louis Vuitton?!?
And further following your logic - cars made by General Motors or Ford are only "pennies" difference with cars made by Porsche or Lamborghini?!?
There are clear reasons why I would choose a Mont Blanc pen over a Bic - or a DuPont Lighter over a Zippo - and a Ralph Lauren shirt over a Walmart brand. It really has nothing generally to do with the name that's on it (though it is a "promise" through their brand that I'm receiving a high quality product) - but actually much more for me to do with the durability and value I'm receiving for the money I'm spending.
With cigars - While I do enjoy a Quinteros from time to time, there truly is no comparison to a Cohiba or a Davidoff. And - in that - even more mind boggling - could a Quinteros possibly be only "pennies" difference to produce than a Cohiba or a Davidoff?
I think you'd find it far easier arguing that lead can be turned into gold...
