Okay, let me just start off by saying I usually will never spend more than the range of 15 to 18 dollars on a single cigar (and I rarely buy cigars in that range even); it is just my personal opinion and I think anything above more often or not is complete asinine. But, I am on a vacation from work and for once, I decided I want to treat myself to some more expensive good cigars. The ones I am debating on are The Cohiba Edicion Diamante' robustos. They can be viewed here, (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/10838/cohiba-edicion-diamante/).. A five pack is 110 dollars. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had these? If so, what is your opinion on them? Are they really good? Or should I not waste my money on them. And if not these, what are some suggestions you have for a really good more expensive cigar that is more worth it? I'd love some suggestions. I'm looking for something along the lines of this cigar, (or a good full bodied/fllavor cigar), or perhaps even a more expensive Connecticut shade for a good change of pace here and there. Thank you everyone! Also, what is your opinion on the Cohiba XV (particularly the robusto) if you have ever had it? Thanks!

why does it have to be expensinve and good and not just a medium price and great smoke? Vaije has alot of nice flavorful smokes that are cheaper and taste alot better.

If you're going to spend that much on some Cohiba's, why not buy some real one's instead of their Dominican counterpart?

A 10ct box of Siglo VI's or Genios cost less!

LE Cuban Cohibas are overpriced.

Dominican? No way.

The Siglo I had was fairly boring (I THINK it was the VI Tubo). Very smooth, very creamy, and the construction/burn was flawless....It just wasn't my cup of tea. The flavor didn't excite me at all.

The Partagas Serie D, however...omnomnom. Best CC I've had so far, though my sample size is somewhat limited to cohibas, RyJ's, Partagas, and Monte's.

With Busa on the Viaje's though. I've somewhat strayed away from Tat's recently, in favor of Viaje's. SS's, H&H's, C4. All great.

If you wanna spend a little money, Padron Anni's are always good. They may be overpriced for some people, but I thoroughly enjoy them, and feel that they're worth what I pay. I didn't really like the couple X000 series that I had though.

Padron 1964, 1926, or Family Reserve. Natural or maduro, all great. If you've never had them, you're missing out.

I'll be one of the few to admit that I like NC Cohibas. But with that said, I get them here in samplers for $2 a piece. Enjoyable $2 smoke, but not worth anywhere near what you're talking about spending.

Oh, and believe it or not, I read an article on some other cigar blog, where overpriced fake NC Cohibas are showing up in some of the island tourist spots. Looks like they are not just faking Cubans anymore.
