Which cigars would you give serious contemplation to spending $100 USD upwards on?  

Step 1. Put your soap box away.  "None" is a legitimate answer. However there are plenty of people who treat themselves to a $100+ bottle of wine on occassion (or daily/Ken )

$500+for a box of 5. $1000+ for a box of 10. $2500+ for a box of 25. 

Which cigars in this range, to you........justify the spend? CC and NC 

If you are happily in that market and were to purchase one box today .....which box would it be?

Siglo VI (of any age)

[Lucas Buck]

Esplendidos

Siglo VI

Partagas Salamones

 

My favorite Esplendidos would be my purchase today.

I would lay out the coin for a box of Diplomaticos Bushido RE Asia Pacifico.

If, I go with new "retail". Probably not much.  Does Esplendido cost $100/stick? That's a possibility.  BHK56 might warrant that price, but its' well above it. I did spend $100USD/stick on 1970 Davidoff No 1's back in 2011 and they were worth every penny.  So, there's some vintage stuff I'd consider at that range. The CGR fiver back in the day was above $100/stick and was/is definitely worth it. IMO that was probably the best Habanos release I was around for (started smoking in 2009).

None.  I'd have to know there is a 95%+ chance that it would draw properly and also be absolutely fantastic.  My luck with CC's (which I have minimal experience to begin with) has been much less than that unfortunately.  

Going on vacation, if I take 5 sticks, 1 or 2 might be CC's, but the rest will be NC's/Fab5/MOFOH, since the chance of getting an outright dud is much lower.  The NC's may not reach the upper limits that a CC can, but they don't hit the low that CC's do either.

I did have a CC once that I'd drop a benny on without hesitation, but that was in Munich 20yrs ago, and unfortunately I have no idea what it was......a true 100%'er.

The only one for me would be a Cohiba Piramides Extra, my Achilles heel of cigars. I'll crumble like a cracker for one. I broke down and bought a 3 pack in St. Maarten back in November.  The last 3 pack in a box with TPO JUN 2017 on it. The shop owner let me break the seal on the box and open the tubes to inspect. When the aroma hit my nose when that cap came off, Heavenly.

Cohiba Siglo VI, Sir Winston, Cohiba PE, Lusitania (but so hard there because they can be hit or miss).

NC so much harder to justify the price because the price anchor for an outstanding new world is so much lower. That said, Padron 50th Hammer I could see myself splurging on
