$$$$

[Old Smokey]

I only smoke a couple of cigars a month and almost all of the cigars I buy seem to be in the $8-$12 range. Rarely will I spend more. If I smoked more often I would have to adjust accordingly. But when I only smoke probably 25 cigars a year, it isn't very expensive.

I'm with Steve here. If I get to smoke 6 cigars in a month I was tearing it up. Usually I'm good for 3-4. Because of that I'm willing to go a little higher if it's something I know won't disappoint (read Fuente). On the dark side, it's rare to see much above the $12 a stick unless it's a limited edition or an LCDH release or Cohiba. Some are worth it, most are not IMO.

Like some of the other guys have said, it's all about personal preference. If you think a cigar is worth $15 and you have the money, go for it. If you think no cigar is worth $15 then don't buy them! The reality is that this is a hobby where we literally light our purchases on fire. So do it your way as long as you enjoy it.
