affected by its price?

Do you often qualify your opinions based on price? (i.e. Best $2 cigar, best $3 cigar)

I am often critical certain cigars like Perdomo and CAO, not for making a bad cigar, but for charging so much for a cigar that is, "no better than a ______ which costs ____ less". For me, when a cigar goes over the $5 mark, to get my dollars consistently (OK semi-consistently), it needs to be far more remarkable than its $4 and under counterparts.

Can cigars be quantified in that way fairly? Does a CAO Extreme need to be 4 times as good as a Pre-Embargo Genuine Counterfeit Cuban to justify the price?

Or do I just have too much time on my hands today?

Those who are willing to give up freedom for security deserve neither
