    $$$$

    How much is to much? The new TAT 15th anni comes in 2 vitolas and are $19 and $21 each. While I enjoy some of their products I cant see these price points on these smokes. Holding out

    I too think that's a bit high, especially considering it's a regular production cigar and not a limited edition. I personally have a hard time spending more than $12 for a cigar. I can almost guarantee you I won't like that cigar more than a Tabernacle, 1964, Le Bijou or my other splurge cigars.

    Too rich for my blood. Thats what a lot of sticks run in a B&M around here though. Padron / Davidoff being $30+ in a lot of cases.

    Plenty of options in the $2-12 range.

    I used to be a major Tat whore but I'm not paying $20 for one. I am even done with the Monster Series. I have found far more enjoyable sticks for less $$$$

    To me I think most of the Unicos are a bit rich for my blood. They are good but not more enjoyable than many of my go to's for a lesser price point .

    Totally agree. Every time I smoke a Unico, I think, wow! This is a great cigar. So many flavors. But guess what? I do the same thing when I smoke an Undercrown for half the price.

    The law of diminishing returns comes into play with cigars. The difference between a $2 cigar and a $12 can* be huge, with far more complexity and flavor. But the difference between a $12 cigar and a $20+ cigar? IMO, not a damn thing other than marketing and scarcity.

    *I say CAN BE because sometimes a $2-3 cigar (such as a RB Project) kicks ass compared to some BS Dominican Cohiba or some other gimmicky $10 stick.
