To be perfectly honest after 25 years - life's to short for cheap smokes. I would rather seek out a great deal on a great smoke so I tend to look at c-bid, famous aucton, and jr's auctions. I watch the boards for vendor deals and I gift and trade a bunch. Not to say that all smokes I like are pricy I'm in no way a snob (no reference to the cigar forum) for example the Sol Cubana Cuban Cabinet is a very fine smoke at around $2. As someone stated in another thread after 25 years I should know what I like.
