Ram27 wrote:Cheap ceegars The CAO Cameroon perfectos, were pretty cheap, but after having one, they are a whole lot better than I expected. At the price point, of less than $4 a stick, after shipping and taxes. I will be buying more. Tasty little 30-45 minute smokes. Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew) |

Real talk, never purchased a box. Always gotten samplers because I am still trying to explore preferences. Also, for some reason, I feel like boxes are always more expensive than a 20 stick sampler. Any reason why? |

The ones not quite up to snuff, are made into fivers, tenskis, and possibly bundles for lower end stuff. And of course, you are getting a box, and some are quite nice, others more basic……….but still a box. |

I've purchased 50+ boxes over the past 3 months.
3 boxes of New World 10 boxes of Oliva Melanio figurado 5 boxes of Oliva 135th Anniversary 2 boxes of Montecristo Media Noche No. 2 6 boxes of La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor belicoso 5 boxes of Le Careme Pastelitos 5 boxes pf Padron 1926 6 boxes of boutique type cigars from DROP, Ezra Zion and others Single boxes of various other 90+ and 95+ rated cigars, including Padron 1964, Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig and La Flor Dominicana Oro Chisel Tubos to make up the rest.
Toss in all the 20, 10 and 5 pack bundles along with single cigars from CBid and other places, I've spent about $18,000 since June.
Compare that with all of last year, I only spent about $7,500 - and the years prior about $2,500 each year.
Edit: I need to take a photo of everything I have. I highly doubt I'll ever possess this many cigars at one time for the rest of my life. |

My most recent box purchase was for some Warped Moon Garden Painted by Moonlight back in May. I also had a l-o-n-g backorder of a box of AF 8-5-8 SGs that I ordered last October but didn't get till late June. Since then I've limited myself to only 5-packs (...sometimes multiple...).

I just got a handful of fivers from the page place and they seem to have upped their game.
There is a Boveda (the little ones) in each individual zip lock and there was a cool 4-pack of promo coasters in the box, too.
Well done. |
