I judge a cigar by the company that is present while smoking it. To me that makes the experience, not the brand or origin or really anything else.
Personally I just don't find the ultimate satisfaction in a cigar unless I have someone to chat and share a drink with. Whether online or in person.
So I guess you could say 'time' for me, but in a different context.
....
Granted there are exceptions.... No company in the world could save a few cigars
