How much does price really matter?

[FPDoc77]

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the advice.

Like anything else, personal preference is more important than price. For example, I like small, sporty cars. Therefore, a Hummer or Range Rover is not as appealing to me as a cheaper car that's smaller. Dig?

I'm a fan of full-bodied cigars, so mild cigars just plain aren't interesting to me, no matter how expensive they might be...

Like clothing, sometimes you're paying for the label. Not only does price not necessarily mean a great cigar, but consistency can be a problem too. Tobaccos from various areas have their good and bad years. That means that the quality of a certain brand can vary significantly between cigars of different batches. That being said, the more expensive cigars generally have a higher chance of being consistently good. Sometimes, I wish they'd put the factory and year on the cigar. That way, like wine, you could find the exact cigar you're looking for.

I really don't know what to make of it, but lately I've had a great RyJ Maduro and Partagas Black, and have been disappointed by an OpusX and Padron 64.

Opus are over priced and over hyped. The Anejo and Hemmingway Maddie line are much better choices for Fuentes.

Padron 26's and 64's are my favorite domestic hands down.

My favorite bang for the buck smoke is the Joya de Nicuragura Antanos. All sizes of em knock my socks off.
