Cigar values

[kayaker]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get a handle on what value groups different cigars. For example, we had a Canadian Cheapie Trade. I sent some CC's that I had, because that was about all that I had. My trading partner thought they exceeded the call.

So, what would be considered cheapie cigars? Premium?

Also, how are CC valued in trades. Canadian prices are inflated because of high taxes.

Do these questions make sense?

Thanks in advance for your help.

personally, a cheap cigar to me would be less than $4.00. although some might think something from a bundle that would be more in the $2.00 range would be appropriate.
that would eliminate any cuban that i am aware of.
however, if i was in a trade and wanted to put in something i liked, cheap or not, without the expectation of high value in return, that is my perogative. just because you are in a cheapie trade doesn't mean the cigars should be crap.

I would agree...its a matter of opinion...but you can compare prices from different places to get an idea of the "Value"

It is hard to have US members answer this question. Cigars are so much more expensive here in Canada. For example, Quorum, $2 at duty free, $1.50 on internet, $5.95 at my local B&M. Cigars that I paid $4 for from the internet vendor is usually $10-$15 here. Try and branch into the US web sites if you can.
