It doesn't matter what others lust for. Try everything, smoke what you like, like what you smoke. Don't get caught in the hype.

Oh I know, I'm just wondering why everyone is so eager to pay >$20 for a smoke.

The cheapskate in me is baffled by this phenomenon

They're a good treat once in awhile, assuming they have age on em. They're good fresh, but not worth the money fresh. With at least 6 months on them they get to being worth it.

Anejos, on the other hand, are worth every last damn penny fresh, and worth twice as much with a year on em for some of the smaller ring gauges(I don't like the 48s and 49s with age on em for some reason, but looooove a 46 with a year on it)

It all comes down to personal preference.

You truly won't know until you've tried one......and then try another one after you've been smoking a while longer, because your tastes may have changed.......and if you can afford to buy a couple and let one sit, they taste different with more age......You may never like them, you may love them.....

And I'm not eager to buy them anymore, in fact, I don't buy them at all. I went from having FFOPUSX as my license plate 8 years ago, to not even looking at them if I go into a shop......to each his own......
