I might change my mind if I ever get some vintage Cubans, but have not yet had the good fortune to smoke any. I'm not a cigar smoker, but have wondered on occasion if the popularity of Cuban cigars is more of a mix of nostalgia and scarcity than overwhelming quality. Castro has managed to damage most other areas of the Cuban economy. No reason why it wouldn't be the same for tobacco growing and cigar making.

You listed the top rated cigars and priciest. Ok if are really rich or smoke only rarely. But, for those of us that smoke often and are middle class need some in the middle range. I have a humidor generally stocked with a 100 cigars or so of various brands. I have found some of lesser cost that are pretty good. My everyday cigar is PUNCH. This is a medium strength cigar, reasonably priced and pretty good. Another often smoked cigar and the one that Fidel Castro himself smoked when he visited the UN is LaCorona Corona. This is a mild cigar but not bad and very reasonable. I buy Romeo and Juliet when Costco has them occasionally. Priced well there and a good smoke, medium strength. jdn
