The GOF are anywhere from $18 to $30 apiece so that sounds inline.

Are they worth it?:bickering:dunno:

My $.02...

NO

OK, samplers/sticks like this look pretty and impressive sitting in the humi. But!...I haven`t smoked a stick in that price range (CC or NC) yet that lived up to my expectations. Plenty of more reasonably priced stuff out there that`ll knock your socks off.

If I had a bit more disposable income, I might pick up a few of the rare/high $/eye-candy cigars from time to time. But until then, it`s all about the smokin`, Bro!

I tend to agree, I really did enjoy the GOF I had but I do not think I will be buying anymore. I find a lot better cigars that are not as expensive. But do try one it is a good cigar.

I like that they sell some of the high-end cigars as samplers. It's tough to justify the $$ for a box of sticks you haven't tried, and it's just as tough to drop a stack of cash on one stick. So I like that I can go mid-range and not feel too bad about it.

All I could think of when I saw those prices is why not just pick up a box of habanos I love? atleast that way I know what I'm getting

If you watch cigarbid they go for low 20's most of the time. I like the Carlito a lot.

As for the Special Opus X sizes (aged) I bought that exact set on cigarbid for $101. I don't know that they are worth it more that the regular Opus x as far as how good it smokes, but they are more sought after by those who also like prestige. Some of the Opus X boxed cigars like the Forbidden, are also a different cigar flavor than the standard. So if you want to say, Yea I tired that, you have to say Yea, I'll pay that.
