What’s the groups thoughts on this bottle? I’ve only had the other release and really enjoy it a lot but never had the Cigar Blend. I have a possible opportunity to get one at $200 but having never tasted it I’m hesitant to buy it. I know it’s very hard to find but I’m also not one to buy at heavy secondary prices. Have to imagine $200 is a markup but not sure how much and. It sure if worth it.

I haven't had it, but have heard good things. Prior to getting the Lincoln road starlight cigar batch, I probably would have bought it. A few guys I know who have had both prefer starlight. I think you're probably better off saving secondary for something you know you like.

I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts if you do get it though.

That’s what I was thinking too but I’m not sure if $200 is secondary or not and if it is secondary, low end secondary?

It’s a top tier bottle and not a horrible secondary price. Not on my radar tho

I don't know for sure, but my guess is it's just above MSRP. I seem to recall reading a review several years ago with a 150 MSRP. Secondary could be closer to 300. Definitely do some research though.

$199 is MSRP, it used to be $169 or so, like everything it has increased, I love it but I wouldn’t fork out $200 for it. I saw the new Bardstown bourbon Co Rye today and it was priced at $179 and we have state control here. It seems like the brokers of sourced juice are really increasing prices, which get passed on to the consumer.

I see those go around 250-300 in national groups. 200 isn't bad for that bottle, and is maybe retail or very close to it

ETA: I just got a Good Times cigar blend for 100. I can't imagine the JM bottle is twice as good, but I very much like the flavors. Not sure that helps you though

ETA 2: first few pours of the day

I see the hirsch cask strength has become the preferred background for the group.
