    The Cigar Aficionado Podcast Episode 3: $100 Cigars
    Jun 10 2026

    Would you pay $100 for a single cigar? Executive editor David Savona and managing editor Gregg Mottola light up two of them (the Rocky Patel Conviction and the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Doble Diamante, both rated 95 points) to find out what's driving cigar prices to record heights. They trace the trend from Davidoff's $500 Oro Blanco to the 2022 Cohiba price hikes that ended bargain hunting in Havana, share three decades of pricing data from Cigar Aficionado's blind tastings, and reveal the most expensive cigar on the market today: a Trinidad Fundadores humidor that runs $60,000. Plus, why you still don't need to spend big to smoke great, and where to find the best values from Padrón, Fuente and more.
