Cohiba Selecton Reserva...Worth the price of Admisslion?

[RLinNH]

Anyone here bought a box? If so, do you think that the cigars were worth the price of admission?

Yes, but depending on the price.

You should wait until you're sober ;-) admisslion :-P

When you really think about it - what does six hundred dollars mean?

I've been thinking about this lately, and I wonder if we really stop and think about it at all.....

[habanohal]

YES

I have the 02 version, and only have smoked 1. The pyramid. I thought it was really good and very different from any other Cohiba I have smoked

[Jay Hemingway]

never had any of these, yet. thought about grabbing a box a few times. i need to make money first in order to do that .

I think they are if you have the disposable income. We all have different budgets. 30 cigars or three boxes of something else. Comes down to what you are looking for ;-)

Good point. I am steering towards very good cigars that age well latley. Matter of fact, I almost wet myslef last night while smoking one of the Estupendos from Ramon Allone. Yup, only 2 yrs. old, and it was THAT GOOD. Screw it, I'm pulling the trigger on these.

Got an early 03 box a couple of years ago for my anniversary. Smoke one every year in November. Media Corona 2 years ago was good, the Robusto last year was a top 5 smoke. Might smoke an Esplendido this year. If I had an expendable $600 I would buy another box. My .02 TD

Money better spent on more Estupendos, IMO.

$600 for the '02 release is a great deal. Buy them! if '03, then not so good. The original release ones are smoking a lot better than the later release.

Yes, these are such sleepers. People have overlooked these for years and the are superb. Without a doubt the best Cohibas I have ever smoked. People will be wondering in years to come why they never picked these up when they were easily available. A must buy IMHO.

I split a box with a friend back when they were first released and a vendor put them on Christmas special for, as I reacall, about $450.00.

I have been disappointed. The Eplendidos were freaking tent pegs. Unsmokable. The others, decent enough cigars but overpriced for what you get, at least for my budget and taste.

+1

Have not tried the Cohibas, but am fortunate to have a box of Estupendos from a certain down-under vendor

Un-freaking-beleivable how good they are.

[cryinlicks]

i really like these, and if you figure out the cost of each stick currently, the seleccion are the same price. i'm smoking through an jan/03 box now, and they are great. you're getting some nicely aged cohibas for the price of new ones. i'm assuming the box cost is $550.

[PigFish]

I will have to step up in agreement with Van again on this one. I never bought the original release; same excuse for me, I hate EL's! I did lay down when they stopped selling and some outlets had them around $400. I don't remember the price that I paid actually but I remember it was less than a box of S-6's at the time.

I think there are some good and some bad like all CC's. I would consider buying the '02's at the $200 price point; that is about what I think of them!
