Those Cuban cigars ARE 1/2 the price.
Only the USA suffers the outrageous prices, because they are "forbidden fruit". When you 'smuggle' them in via on-line retailers, the prices I have seen are easily double what I typically pay for the same cigars (and then there is the shipping on top..)
When you buy them overseas, they are quite a bargain, and in some cases less expensive than the DR offerings within the USA...
Also, legal Cubans within the USA (Pre-ban cigars) are VERY pricey- several hundred dollars a cigar in most cases (in the event this is what you were referring to). They are totally worth it, if they have been properly cared for, and complete rubbish if they were not properly cared for. I won't spend that money myself, but A friend was given one as a gift and he has professed to the quality on several occasions. That cigar was from 1965 or so; in any case, older than either he or I!
I also agree that any smoke can benefit from careful aging, just like a fine wine or scotch often does...
