RobertParrot, I will answer for Tailgater, since I agree with him and rank Tamboril along with Big Butt, Lone Wolf, Hamiliton House and other Sheepcr-p sticks out there! However, it is not as bad as Lone Wolf rockets!

Most expensive in California seems to be the PAM's as stated above by several posters.

PS I am praying the Chiefs will hang on and beat Dolphins today as Tony Gonzalez just caught a 42 yard TD toss to take them to 31-16 lead in Arrowhead! I am going to light up an Indian Tabac Teepee for the Chiefs (hope I do not jinx em)!

OPus "A" has a MSRP of $25 usually sell for $50. THe "TTA" which was released with funds going to 9/11 was a $50 MSRP. I saw a IBTL go for over $700.

The most expensive cigar I purchased was on an overbid, I paid ten times its worth. It was a " lone wolf roBUSTo " and I paid $1.20 for it. JonR

Hospital visit to replace damaged taste-buds.
4 of my senses shut-down in an apparent attempt to save the brain.
It almost worked...

I've got a buddy that purchased TWO aged (late '80's) ISOM Davidoff Dom Perignons, at $250 EACH!!! That was two years ago; I think they're almost $350 each now.

Most expensive cigar

A few vintages(name the brand of qualitiy) sold in very exclusive cigar shops,one in London comes to mind, is where I believe you will find that pricey noncuban cigar.Here you can get aged Cubans as well as nonCubans from years ago.Sticks can sell from 40.00 dollars on upwards to hundreds of dollars per stick.
As to the available recently produced sticks
From least to most(depending on size)

Cohiba (Red Dot)/Don Carlos/Ashton VSG
LaUnica T.O.L.
Opus X / Graycliffe/Padron Ann.
Partagas Limited reserve
Partagas Ann.
etc...
I know that Opus X sells for way to much online.I never by Opus except for when I go to Miami so their position might be a bit prejudice.I just bought a Fuente Fuente Opus Num. 2 for around eighteen in Gainesville of all places, on line I have seen them for as much as thrty+ dollars,that is insane and would put them beyond most cigars listed here.

When looking at the lists here it appears that price depends on where you buy the cigar,which makes sense.I would have to believe that overall the Opus X is the most sought after nonCuban in the world.And though perhaps not the most pricey when compared to limited production special occasion type cigars ,I believe overall for its production size and availability year after year it is perhaps the most expensive seeing that demand and cost differ from place to place. Regardless I give the Opus X as a line my best rating.
