    I guess I'm a little confused by your post, too. I think you're saying they're good, but they're not $10-13/stick good. Yet your comments about the cigar seem to indicate that they are.

    I like the Sopranos line a lot. Advertising hype or not, I think it's a damn good cigar. I don't believe I ever had a bad one. I have never bought a box, but I pick up a couple here and there when I'm at the B&M. It's kind of odd, but sometimes a $10 cigar is worth much more than $10, and sometimes it isn't worth 1/2 the price. I think it goes back to what we say in all of the "why do we smoke" threads. If the time is right for a certain cigar then I'm glad I bought it and there is no other cigar that will do it for me quite as well. But if I'm working on the car while I'm smoking it, then it seems like a waste of money.

    There are other cigars that I consistantly feel are not worth the hype... Opus X is one that I can name. It's a decent cigar, but not worth the price to me, and I've never really had a memorable one. Perhaps you just feel that way about the Sopranos. The bottom line for me is if time with a cigar is memorable, then I never really care about the price.

    What? You dont like working on cars? Sittin in your driveway, Hood up, engine roaring, pipes pouring out smoke, head hanging out the window, and takin a puff of a stogie in sync with mashin the gas; now that sounds like a memorable smoking experience to me.

    On topic though, Im thinking of picking up a box of these as a Christmas present from myself to me. I know they are a little expensive but thats why Im going to treat my self to them for a special occasion. Splurge a bit on something I wouldnt normally. I know they may not be worth what they cost, but I am also a big fan of the Sopranos. So I want to feel like Tony when I sit outside and have a smoke.

    Yeah....

    I think this review has also peaked my interest, I'm gonna hook myself up with a box of BOSS' very soon.

    Aside from the inconsistent draw issues I've had, I'm a fan of most of the CAO line.

    I had one plume coverd Boss and it was very good. Didn't like the Soldier anywhere near as much, felt it wasn't worth the price. Think I'll dig out a Boss tonight.

    Now you got me double guessing my self as I was looking at getting a box of the Soldier as my xmas gift to my self. Might just spring for the box of Boss instead now.

    After reading the reviews and a day without the wife around to see how much i spend, i stopped in at JRs in Statesville NC and bought an Associate. Gotta say i was pretty impressed. Very enjoyable cigar, was kinda sad to see it end. Would definately buy more if only Uncle Sam gave me a little more dough.
