The problem is we're looking at it from the wrong angle. We love cigars and our hobby is to find that perfect cigar to smoke. The average cigar smoker is a lot less discerning that we are. I'll gladly pay another $5 to have two good cigars over saving $5 and smoking one mediocre cigar. Or I'll buy a small, dainty looking cigar knowing it's going to be a great little flavor bomb, because I don't care how I look smoking it.

I think you will find many more large RG introductions at IPCPR(sp?) this fall.

Yep.

In fact, if you would like, you can see a list of all of the cigars that have been or will be released in 2012 (over 750 of them!) here:

Most have links to info about what the RGs are...here is a hint: LOTS of cigars over 56 RG.
