Usually storage.

Using beads in your humidor vs cat litter will generally raise or lower the cigars stored in the humidor between premium and super premium.

Think of it like this. Use a Fuente for an example,, a Hemingway Classic would be a Premium, a Don Carlos Edicion de Anniversario would be a Super Premium.
A Padron Anniversario 1964 would be a Premium, Padron Family Reserve would be a Super Premium. Make sense? Supers usually have more extensive aging and the filler and wrapper will all be tobacco that is of a higher level quality that can only or are chosen to be grown in smaller quantities, the cultivation, harvesting, and fermenting is given more care and time and in the end can mean 30 to 50.00 a cigar.
Differing opinions will be offered I'm sure.

In a nut shell.
To me it is sharing a cigar with family and friends that makes it a super premium and not just a premium. One of the best cigars I've ever had was a cheap "drug store" cigar that I shared with my brother before he died. fog

I'm pretty sure that we smoked Punch Slim Panetelas (not a premium) from one of their tins. It's going on twenty years and the details get a little fuzzy after time. Any who, you get the point. fog

Yup. I can think of two best cigars. Somehow they were both in the same weekend at the racetrack. Kristoff kristiana and Herrera Esteli Lonsdale. Best cigars I've ever had.

WELL, if we're going that route, from a non-market/producer standpoint one of the best cigars I've ever had were some Escudo Cubanos with a couple of friends camping in Sherman NY in the spring somewhere around '95 or '96.
Bottle of Craganmore disappeared wandering leisurely through the pine forrest, we killed the Glenmorangie sitting in the sun relaxing and smoking and BSing waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive.
Little fuzzy after the second fifth was consumed, but relaxing with friends in the spring sun, remember it as one of the best days ever in younger simpler times. fog

More like ANTI Viagra. My one eyed buddy just lays around after that, a distant 1000 yard blank stare in his one good eye.Poor bastid may never recover from the PTSD.
