"I would buy more...but the price is too high"

[cigarbreak]

SLR DC's. The 50 cab I saw while in Cuba was so beautiful...a tear came to my eye lol and then I cried even more when I was hit with sticker shock lol

[DWC]

For me, I'd love to get my hands on the Cohiba Siglo II, Cohiba Robusto, Partagas 898, and Montecristo 2. Money is the problem though.

Re: Partagas 8-9-8 I know everybody has their own budget/limits but I found the P 8-9-8 to be a good value when you consider it's close to a 2 hr smoke (for me). Yeah, it's a special occasion smoke, but well worth every penny! IMHO I will definitely buy more. (and when it comes to money, I'm as tight as the bark on a tree)

[CUBANO]

La Escepcion, Behike, and UK Regionals

[shlomo]

Like Frank above, I like the regional program, but prices are just slightly too high to really go deep usually.

Also anything discontinued. At normal prices, I would make sure to have a dozen Dip 4, BCE and RGCE, but not at the inflated prices...

[Duxnutz]

+1 on regionals, especially the smaller vitolas. Surprised the Connie A is so $$$.

[kwsaw63]

Cohibas in general and the Behikes and Siglo IV in particular. Hard to justify a box purchase when other cigars (e.g. HdM Epi 2, SLR Serie A) are almost as good but half the price.

[armmmmm]

ED54, just had a box stolen from me. Looks like I have to buy one now.

Are you LA1994 on OLH? If so, really sucks what happen.

More on topic...

Anything Cohiba...price is always on the high-end of the specrum in comparison to its counterparts. Passed on some 1966 once, maybe should have at least tried a single haha.

[mikek]

Cohiba, certainly Behike. And more generally, once a box of churchill size sticks crosses $300-$350 I find myself pausing to think about it. The HSA program for the Aged . . . at 1.5-1.75 times current price I'd load up, at 2x it makes me think about it, not just because of price but because of logistics.

I'm in the same boat on the latter,or I'd be all over alot of these,right now! I'd be jumpiing all over the Monte#2 & #4,The DC's. It's just so scetchy buying blind!

[potpest]

All Cohiba and Trinidad, all RE's, all EL's.

[ogus]

Cohibas

SLR DC

Partagas Shorts (100 Boxes I would like to fill a closet)

When the big money comes in I will set up a benevolence fund for poor aficionados

[PigFish]

I would like to try every cigar made!

Throwing my money away on the stupid premise of cigars that are limited, in the hopes that the untested cigar will be a classic, even taste good, or become worth some additional money someday, has ruined a goodly notion of what cigar smoking is to me.

Cigar smoking is (or should be) a commonplace occurrence whereas the cigar choice is a pleasure and not a financially straining or anxiety ridden event. The current market model where cigars that sell are overproduced to the extent that they are homogenous and no longer exceptional, where your most money is to be spent pursuing an elusive golden goose that cannot be bought and test with the knowledge that the cigar will return for future purchases, is not a consumer friendly model. It is an endless chain of lottery ticket cigars, some winners and losers, all overpriced, where the consumers interests are not really considered.

So ask me the question again! The answer is the Cuban cigar, what it used to be; a reasonable priced, semi-reliable means to smoke tobacco, with enough choices to suit many moods and many customers.

That is what I would like to buy more of, but they cost too much!

[Stogieninja]

Old Lusitanias and Boli CGs. Had an '08 Lus and a '06 BcG and they were the best cigars I've had this year, an in my too ten ever, actually.

[Yagermeister]

Almost any EL or Regional. At least in a full box. I don't mind paying upwards of $20 for a good, rare cigar, but I can't stomach 25x$20. I wish more regionals were released in the 10ct box like the LFDC Grandiosos. I'd buy a whole lot more of them.

[CaptainQuintero]

Pretty much every RE/EL release since 2012 for me, skyrocketing prices. The 2011 HdM petit piramides was the last release that was sensible to me.

[DoubleDD]

Cohiba

[...]

Any special release is generally above what I consider reasonable. I buy Cohiba rarely and carefully

[santela]

Anything Cohiba. Loved the Siglo IV, but Magnum46 is a close second being much cheaper.

[Quahetas]

Cohiba 1966

[surly]

"I would buy more...but the price is too high"

Most of us are in the same boat. That cigar which tantalises/tickles but the price point is just out of reach to lay down a box or boxes.

For me (and yes even I have a personal budget ) the cigar i would lay down is the Punch Serie d'Oro No 2 LE 2013 Piramide.

I am a sucker for peanut butter in a cigar and these deliver every time. Yet the price-point as assigned by HSA/distributors etal is way too high for me. I can only get peanut butter in a few cigars but these give that in spades. $7 a stick cheaper and they would sell out. Keep them where they are and they will age in distributors warehouses until they become an aged classic.

I wouldn't spend coin on them right now but sooner or later they will be priced to move, God I hope so.

What are your "Buy More ...but Price too High cigars?"

Pres, if you like peanut butter in cigars, I had one of these not long ago and it was peanuts all the way through - never had a cigar like that before.

Unfortunately, it was about $40 bucks here in Canada so I probably won't be having one again anytime soon. It was a nice treat, though!

[nikesupremedunk]

Besides the regular line up anything RE, LE, or even the new vitolas are getting a bit pricey. It makes it hard to buy a second box when I'm still trying new smokes so I rather spend that money on a different box.

[Lotusguy]

Agreed on the Punch LE. Add the Connie A and Boli Libertador to this. Pretty much any new release since they all cost more than $10/stick.

[MrGTO]

I've never smoked a Cohiba because of the price. So Cohiba would be my pick...

[Laxman]

LGC Cuba RE Jars, Conde 109's, PL Magnifios, anything 10+ years old in Cohiba

[LLC]

Partagas Gran Reserva

[subport]

any reserva, gran reserva.

lots of LE, RE are just out of space. c'mon...when I find way better cigars for half the price or even less...just hard to say ok, I'll buy it.
