This forum has turned me onto some great smokes. My Father Le Bijou 1922, New World Maduro, Plascencias, Man o Wars, Cohibas, Rocky Patel Decade, Olivia series V Melanio, etc. I won’t really pay more than $12-$15 for a stick and that’s really pushing it!
Hang around here, check your ego at the door and soak up some of the great ideas, knowledge, and banter. You won’t regret it!!

Glad you stuck it out! 👍

I like the Brazilia Gol, but don't smoke them often. Sometimes they are good and other times they are not so good. It's about the only CAO in the line that I'll buy and then only when the price is right.
To me premium is expensive and super premium is way too expensive. I'm satisfied smoking a lot of different yard cigars and when I find something really good at a good price, I'm a buyer. Everybody has a different palate and cigars liked by the majority are usually the ones I like. I like most of the Oliva line - particularly the more expensive ones.

I try not to go over 10 per cigar. But it happens occasionally. I buy boxes when I buy and it's usually limited edition stuff. Some of this stuff does taste the same . Think I need a break from smokes .

But phug that

I like it when the manufacturer just tells me their cigar is a super premium. I mean to exceed premium would mean super premium right?

From Oliva’s website,

“ Serie V Melanio is hand rolled using expertly fermented ligero fillers, these leaves are known for their robust and rich flavor. This special cigar is sure to exceed a premium cigar smoker’s highest expectations. “

Ezra Zion, which I like a lot (don't get me wrong), has the super-duperest most premium-ist cigars of anyone. Just read their write ups.

I went to their website and looked at the first thing on the cigar page - Hot Caramel Sunday Ltd. It's a brand new release. Among other things:

HOT CARAMEL SUNDAE Ltd. is intensely delicious! The creaminess and “caramel-ness” are going to leave you begging for more!
HOT CARAMEL SUNDAE Ltd. will be SOLD OUT extremely fast!

Just take it from them. It's that good.

The next one on the list, All My Ex's - The Lost Blend

This cigar is *literally* a miracle! ...
In fact, the members of our “super-secret” tasting panel have all told us that ALL MY EX’S The Lost Blend is one of the best cigars they have ever smoked! (Some of them have been smoking for several decades and never had a cigar like it!)

Etc., etc., etc. Everything they make is slap-yo-mama-in-the-mouth, too-good-to-believe, too-amazing-not-to-buy, get-them-while-they're-still-here, great!

Yeah I like ez but not as much as some. The hype is too much for me. They’re good smokes but never have I smoked one and thought that’s the best cigar I’ve ever had. But I do like em

I got sucked into the EZ hype a few years ago and decided to try two 10 cigar samplers...they were OK...hard to distinguish one from another...I didn't think they were super premiums nor worth their price...

there are a lot of opinions about super premium labels...most by the manufacturers trying to convince folks their cigars are worth the price...I've smoked cigars that are labeled/priced "premium" and "super premium"...

some premiums were very good to excellent and better than some super premiums and vice versa...

and others with both labels that were not very good.

But we have used those labels here, to try to establish fairness in trades, and usually it's tied to the price of a cigar... yard gars or rockets often are <$4...everyday smokes <$6.....premium $7-$10... super premium >$10 (IMO - YMMV)

the range for premium and super premium have risen during the last couple of years...

It took me a long time to figure out what premium and super premiums were on this forum. A few of trades some people showing me what they would send and some guys appreciating what I sent. I’ve seen some argue its not the price…but I know what you mean, with all the price increases I get what you mean about hard to find anything good under $10 anymore. Also respect being able to find some single or fivers here that I can age for fairly cheap comparable to MSRP or over prices most other places. Then there’s the challenge of what I like and think is premium someone else doesn’t like. Then there’s the challenge of spending more and more money every year on cigar ha ha. Now I find myself trying to figure out if all these super limited are also super premium ha ha!!!

for some reason, my post got altered and I can't correct it: has to do with prices

yardgars, everydays and rockets are <$4-$5; premiums are>$6 and <$10; super premiums are >$10... and these are not MSRP of cigars that sell at deep discounts, like Gurkhas

IMHO/YMMV
