[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 348200, member: 36"] Briarspirit, it sounds like you have smoked very cheap cigars. But a good cigar, according to me:), is not only well-blended but also well-aged. The Don Pepin Original is both, but better tobacco is to be had in the recent geographically released Montecristo New York and Chicago, in Oliva Master Blends 3, Liga Privada T52 and #9, etc. The DP is about $8 for a single while these others are more like $12.00 - $14.00. However beware that if you smoke enough of the latter and must always mind the budget, you'll train your palate accordingly, and lesser cigars like Torano and Perdomo won't be able to keep up; you'll develop a palate that overshoots what for you would be a more comfortable price. Hi Kirk, Geographically released refers to the cigar's original release only in New York; it was then released in Chicago, due to its success. The Don Pepin Original has good tobacco, but beginning with Oliva Master Blends 3, the aging in these cigars is pronounced. Like wine, cigars can be had in all price ranges. If for example you can only comfortably afford bottles that cost $20.00 but then start buying $30.00 bottles, you will destroy your ability to appreciate the former as your new point of reference is the latter. Torano and Perdomo are my examples of $20.00 bottles. Hope this helps! Mike [/QUOTE]
