NEW GERMAN PRICEST REVEALS HOW HABANOS S.A. IS CHANGING CUBAN CIGAR PRICES

[El Presidente]

I hate using the price equivalency argument (wine/cigars). 

The fact is that people have different means/wealth, differing outlooks to spending/value.

The posseurs are the minority.

There are far more people who just enjoy the ample fruits of their labour. 

They will do it however they wish and care little about the "tags" thrown at them. 

You can't fly the flag of  "capitalism" just when it suits you.  

You earn it...you spend it..... however the hell you like.

The biggest generalisation of the year to date 

Plenty of people buy $100-$150 bottles of wine by the case/cases.  The reasoning isn't "look how much money I have" but rather  "I love that wine and I have that money to spare". 

Let people spend their money as they wish without the peanut gallery throwing a tanty. 

 

Well said. I might have done something like that at my stepdaughters law school graduation Saturday. Still waiting for the bill for that excellent cabernet we enjoyed (dont judge me i love a jammy Paso Robles cab and I am the veritable sucker born each minute for it). I hope it's as good as I remembered it when I crack the first of 24 bottles outside the haze of the moment in which they were purchased. 

Even if not, she and I will be partners soon enough. More than enough reason for her to drink more than she used to. 

My best 5 friends: three are outrageously, nigh incomprehensibly more materially wealthy than I, and two work in welding with their hands and espouse spiritual wealth from earning a living by bending the world around them to their whim. We never pass up an opportunity to spend time together, which is priceless. No one judges or bothers with what is unimportant in life, which is precisely how other people choose to spend their time and money. Likewise, change the two richest with the two least well off and the group would pretty much be the same. Attitude is everything.

I'm with you on those jammy Paso Robles cabs. And enjoying them too much is how I ended with a case of a few of em!

Congrats to your stepdaughter on graduating and best of luck with the bar.

Interesting timing on the Paso Robles cab subject. Just bought 1/2 case of this and it’s pretty good if you haven’t already tried it. It’s part of the Duckhorn portfolio and it won’t break the bank.
