Are just OK cigars worth it?

Ok... Sweet_leaf_PDX has a good point, often times (as the noob I still am) I get confused, when people say GREAT cigar, I often assume an EXPENSIVE cigar... When I smoke O.K. cigars, I am more so referring to their price, I have only really had 4 cigars that were so bad I didn't feel like finishing them...

I only smoke 2 sometimes 3 days a week. So for me, OK cigars aren't worth it. If you are one of those who smokes multiple sticks daily, then the "ok" cigars have their place. (They can't all be extraordinary)

I smoke at least a cigar a day now, if not 2 or 3, (thanks CA ) So all my sticks can't be Primo or I'd be living in a cardboard box... I find 2nd's to be reasonably good/decent/O.K. cigars that allow me to smoke multiple times a day without breaking the bank... If you find a 2nd you particularly like (ie Nic Ligero Laced 2nd's) I am more apt to enjoy them while doing other things around the house, Sometimes you can stop everything and enjoy your smoke, other times that thing called life gets in the way...

And there is the real beauty of OK/decent/ cigars, if they are good, smoke em down, if they are mediocre, atleast you didn't break the bank buying them only to find out they aren't your cup of tea... and you can always put them out without thinking, damn that cost me 10 dollars...
