I don't see how a $100 or $100 cigar or whatever rediculous priced cigar can taste better than a $25 cigar or even a quality $10 stick.
I would bet that the people who buy this stick don't do it because it's a great cigar, they do it so that they can say they smoke 'the most expensive cigar in the world'. It's the same as a lot of other extremely high priced goods, it's not about the product, but the prestige that comes with owning it.
