Hopefully I'm in the right room for this.

I am curious to know if prototype cigars are any more or less valuable than the original releases. For example, I have the 2 prototypes that Punch put out, for opinions/input from customers, that later became the Champion. Whaddaya think?

Of course it adds more value. The catch is that it has to be a proven great cigar. After all, an original release of a $3 cigar is not desired.

I don't know about that. It depends on what that $3.00 cigar is. If it s a prototype of the LLNF, I would buy it.

The pre-release LLNFS were very exceptional.
Would the pre-release be valuable, of course just more desired to those of us that were able to smoke them.

There are other brands that have exceptional pre-release versions also.

Thanks for the input so far.

Another question that would go along with that is: Do some people collect that type of cigar for its' value as a collectable, or just as a smoke?
