I think part of the reason I really like the CFs is because I don't pay for them.

My folks love Vegas and go back a few times a year. They stopped asking me what i want as a souvenir and just bring me a handful of Fuentes now.
If I actually did pay the $15-20 per stick, I would probably feel let down. but frankly, I can't think of any time I've paid that much for a smoke and thought it was worth the money.
