I started smoking cigars in the late 80s/early 90s. You could get great cigars (Hoyo de Monterey, Punch, Arturo Fuente, Macanudo, Romeo y Julieta, Partagas ...) for about a $1 each. I would buy boxes from JR Cigar. Then cigars got super trendy and all kinds of goofy brands came out trying to make a buck. The quality went down and the prices went way up. It's the same today if not worse. I quit for health reasons, but who wants to pay $10-20 a stick for questionable quality? I've still got a few hundred oldies stored in "tupperdores" from way back but haven't smoked in ages.
