I spotted a quarter-page ad in the Wall Street Journal for Cirgora.com. https://www.cigora.com
I always say that hand made cigars are a rich man's habit, but, this site seems a little high-faluting, even for Mr. Fancy Pants.
Your thoughts?
Cigora?

I didn't click much but what I saw was far too rich for my blood
Definitely for the wsj guys who either don't know better or have too much money to care. A quick glance at their southern draw selection tells me I'll stick with cigarpage

Cigars are expensive. The cheapest one I saw was still out of my price range. But the ones in the catalog from P&C are just as much. A hand rolled cigar is going to cost more. Other than a half dozen Macanudos I have never smoked a cigar that costs more than a dollar. The Macanudos were good, but not worth it for me. One of those $20 cigars would make 6 or 7 bowls of pipe tobacco if chopped up.
I have smoked nickel cigars just to irritate some people I didn't like. It didn't bother them, (cigarette smokers), I got used to them. I have a box of dollar cigars that I smoke outside on nice days.

I still smoke cigars. But every time I do, I wish I was smoking a pipe.

Like @Ronv69 I've never smoked a cigar that cost more than a dollar or there about, unless friends from our group here sent them to me.

That site is interesting in that they dont carry a bazillion brands . The big etail sites carry everything almost . Thonpson , should drop 25 % of their inventory , imho , because its shit . Its like they have brands that should have been bundles at best but put a band on them and gave them a name
Theres way too much tax on cigars . The government makes more money off cigars than manufacturers , wholesalers and retailers and it sickens me . Obama really screwed the pooch and it will never recover to even a semi reasonable level
I do enjoy my cheap bundle Casa Garcia Connecticut and occasionally Ill buy a Zino or something really good but its rare . I still have some big gun smokes from my shop in the 90s ... aging now in cedar for 26 years . Itll take a major event for me to light one
