As a fairly new cigar smoker, I'm not willing to spend 20 bucks on something I probably can't fully appreciate. Price is a consideration.

Yes, "you get what you pay for," but how often is a $30 cigar TWICE as good as a good $15 jobber? And is a $100 stogie often worth five times a good $20 selection? So, definitely worth considering because price DOES affect enjoyment: I get pleasure when a mid- or low-priced cigar far exceeds its price expectations--and the chance of disappointment from a high-priced 'gar is quite high ("Man, no WAY this was worth 50 bucks!).

How can a cigar be cigar of the year when you can't afford to smoke it as much as you would like to.

Maybe as a tie breaker when all other things are considered equal. I don’t necissarily think price directly but value should be at least a tiny part of an overall rating.

Should be tasting only imo. Otherwise you give the impression as C.A. did last year, that a Casa Magna is better than a Padron Anniversary Maduro.
