You should try the El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme then. It is the best mild habano and mild cigar that I have ever sampled. And it is much cheaper, too.

While price of a cigar is certainly an important factor when purchasing a cigar one must be careful to not let price influence your perception of the physical characteristics of the cigar. For instance, I disagreed with CA's decision to rate the Casa Magna Colorado above the Padron 80th in last year's top 25. I felt like the cigar with superior taste and physical properties should have been ranked higher. At the end of the day when purchasing a cigar it boils down to a cost benefit analysis. To judge a cigar's physical properties in a cost benefit scenario when reviewing places an undue burden on cigars that may be exquisite but expensive.

Awfully high? Yes. And deservedly so in my book. But if you aren't already a fan of milder cigars—and if you typically equate strength or full flavors with quality—then this isn't up your alley. You're only setting yourself up for disappointment with a stick of this price. For a smoker like me who regularly enjoys mild cigars, though, this is an absolute must-try. The Tesa Vintage Especial Rothchild ranks among the very best mild cigars available.

That's an awfully high score for such a budget busting mild stick. I wonder how their other vitolas stack up to this one. Quite frankly, at that price point, I would rather spend my stogie dollars on habanos.
