I doubt that I will be trying one of those any time soon. What is a kidney worth nowadays ? Giving up one of those is the only way I will be acquiring anything in that price range.
A Cigar is just a part of the equation of the enjoyment…. Your frame of mind and the environment are two other factors that dictate how you perceive a cigar….
And I perceive that at $550 a cigar, I would not be able to enjoy one! Here's a pic of me "going over the books" just to see if one of those cigars can be had.....
Shop day here. Figured it was a good time to enjoy a cigar while I grind some chains. This one was tasty. I got tones of earthy creamy smoke with hints of slightly sweet nutty tobacco and a peppery/spicy aftertaste. Very nice.
Totally agree with this sentiment. I would probably pay 500 for a cigar if I knew it was a one of a kind unicorn type deal, but at the end of the day it’s just a cigar. Like you said that’s only one part of the equation. To me they are a little like those Pokémon all the kids (and, in some cases, not so kids) go nuts over. Some folks just gotta have them all and the more rare the better. I get that aspect of the hobby and I’ll admit I’m enjoying that side of it. At the end of the day, for my taste anyway, I just can’t see those Cohiba’s being 485 dollars better than what I’ve had so far. Maybe I’ll find out some day
I liked the Brazilian Stalk better but I have had them a bit longer. Hopefully some rest will bring the Norteno to life.
I still need to get boxes of the other Herrera Esteli's, but I've been putting my money elsewhere at the moment.
Had this one over the noon hour, good flavor but I let it go out. This stogie is not for me on an empty tank… Ooooph. Once I got some grub I was good to go.
