You are definitely quite the Cuban connoisseur, Scott.

I have zero interest in limited/special edition cigars at all. If I paid $20+ bucks for a stogie, I'd never be able to get myself to smoke it, and what good is that?

I just wonder how many different brands of cigars were out there over 100 years ago. It seemed like every town, or city, had their own roller making cigars locally. New York City used to have hundreds of families working out of their homes rolling cigars, probably on a piecework basis. I would assume that quality could be an issue.
