What's the deal with Cigar price drops?

As others have said, you have to do it on a case/case basis. Do I think a Padron 1964/1926 is worth every penny? Absolutely. DO I think a Ghurka is work the same money? Absolutely not. Price /= Quality in cigars. There are a LOT of marketing gimmicks....some brands are worse than others...cough cough Gurkha, cough, Rocky Patel.

Yea for some reason I had an odd feeling for Rocky Patels, i think it's the wide range of prices they have for their cigars. I guess I won't be touching any Gurkhas! lol.

Rocky is an interesting guy. When his stuff is on, it's solid. When it's a victim of over production, it's mediocre.

Cigar preferences and perceptions aside, I give him credit for being one of the few at the forefront of fighting with the FDA and congress for cigar smokers rights. And, he's an attorney, so that's a bonus in that debacle.

Funny you'd mention Rocky Patel. He's coming to the weekly herf thrown by Party Source at Beer Sellar today, since his brand is featured this week. There will be people show up that we've never seen at PS events because Rocky is coming. And we won't see them again until Rocky, A.J. Fernandez, or similar cigar "celebrity" are slated to appear.
