The taste in cigars can be really great and it's a joy to see it evolve the smaller it gets. A cigar will also probably leave you not smoking for quite a few hours. I would probably smoke that more often if I could. Cigarettes are merely about feeding your addiction more than any real taste. (Pro-tip : Don't inhale cigar smoke, as a general rule).
The biggest problem is not so much the price (you can get something decent for less than a pack of cigs at least in France, it's not insanely prohibitive) but the fact you need to have the time to smoke it properly and that it's pretty terrible for anyone around, specially non-smokers, so you kinda need your own space.
Cubans are actually not that great. 
What would have your preference then ? So that I can try something new next time.
