Picked up a few more Angel's Shares from my B&M before they are gone.
What do the Angel Shares go for at your B&M if you don't mind saying? I've yet to have one, or even find one for that matter..
$23 +tax
I really don't want to sound like a noob douche, but is it really a $23 smoke? That good I mean? Padron 26 or 64 good?
I don't really roll like that either but u was in Vegas using a company card:)

I thought the angel share was a very good stick but not a great stick to justify cost

I also smoked a $75 forbidden x chili pepper there which was unbelievable. Also an untold sorry for $25 which was excellent

I have a 2011 Chili Pepper sitting in one of my humi's as we speak!

At the risk of sounding snobby, I don't really care so much about what a cigar costs. My go to smokes are probably a little more expensive than most people - for a while I smoked a Padron 26 #9 or FFOX Power Ranger ($20-$30 dollar smokes) almost every time I smoked. But I have also been through 2 boxes of FDLA which cost about $6.50 a stick and a box of La Palina Classic's at $7.50 too. When I find something I like that is a little harder to find, I buy enough to where I won't freak out if they disappear. I personally really liked the Angel's Share and wanted to get a few more before they were gone and I'm putting them down for a nap to see how they change over the next 6 months - 2 years. I realize I'm fortunate to have a great job that allows me to afford the full spectrum of this hobby and not really care about the sticker price, but I also realize that not everyone can afford to be the same way.

I guess for me the internal conversation goes like this - "Is it good? Ok, it is, lets buy some more." The question "yeah but is it worth $X?" just never really crosses my mind. Or if it does, it has to be a lot higher than $20-$30 bucks. Curious if I am I the only one who thinks like that - maybe?

I don't think you're being snobby at all, I like your answer. Man, if I could swing that kind of dough on cigars like that on a regular basis, I sure as hell would....more power to ya!

I smoke several sticks a week, so I try to stretch my money to cover the everyday'rs....I'm stuck in the 6-for-the-price-of-one camp. When I do get an opportunity to smoke a $25 stick, it's usually a gifted stick.

I smoke some pretty damn good $10-$15 sticks, so it always peaks my interest when I see those primo sticks at over $20 prices.....ya know....are they REALLY that much better to command that price?

My stolen sig line pretty much agrees with you, me and others....after the money is spent on what ever cigar you buy...

I dont think you sound snobby. Any one of us that cannot do this yet will once we can and the others that can already do haha. I hope to one day be able to just buy anything by the box because then not only will I enjoy the leaf more but all the other BOTLs will be getting shared with a lot more too. Kudos to you brother!

Regius of London culebra--made from 3 different wrappers, so I can really see the difference a change of wrapper makes on flavor profile
