Bundles, Seconds and Over-Runs - Page 4

captain53 · 09-30-2009, 07:05 PM

I have bought a few to try and like the Famous Nic 3000's but most others have let me down and also use a lot of humi room having to age them for months. Lately I have realized if I shop Monster & CI daily specials, etc I can buy some pretty nice stuff for $3 and under that are usually better than the bundle stuff.

Do they run specials on these, or did the price jump up recently? Cheapest is $41.95 for the #1s in the new catalog. Debating between these (#2s, probably) and the LHOs...

They go on a weekend, or weekly special every few months. last time it was a catalog special meaning that it lasted about a month, for $29.99 for any size.

Let me guess, the catalog special was last month?

These are "sandwich" cigars, made/blended by DPG and are pretty good value for the $$$. JMHO.

This thread is one of the best going. Keep it going boys...assembling my list right now and making those coolidor plans....smoke once a week....HAH, every frickin day now!

Question.... Which are better? The Tabacos Baez SF Maddies, or these Holt's
Fumadores? and also what are the differences.... Fumadores looks like a Criollo
wrapper... Just asking because the benchmade have a tannic/espresso profile
to them... Maybe they get better w/ age. I'll have to pull one out.

It seems as though many of us here like the seconds. Me included. Especially the RP Vintage seconds and the Consuegras. My question is are the first rate ones that pass muster any better and if so by how much??

Wrapper quality and appearance mostly are what's better. Better construction not as plugged? Maybe

Torano Domincos
Bought a bundle of 20 of these for about 20 bucks from the devil sight and it's turning out to be agreat value. Not an awesome cigar but still it's a damn good cigar and for a buck it's a great value.

U guys know who makes a bundle called Fumas?
It has a brown label with white letters...

I've heard rumors that it RP, but i'm not really sure

Sounds like RP Fumas. I think they were exclusive to CI, but they don't seem to be available anymore, as they don't have them on the site.

Was this them? http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=695299

Forgot to post that I scored a bundle of Taboo Value Blend for $10.25 shipped from Taboo's auction.

Famous Nic 3000s are back in stock. I've been wanting to try these for a while, so I snagged a bundle.

Very tempting, as a noob my humidor is quite empty, this might help fill it up.

Gary, when I first got my humidor the way I filled it up was with samplers and 5 packs.

Along with buying singles, I was able to get a nice variety of cigars without spending too much and was slowly able to figure out which ones I liked before I started "investing" in boxes.

Bundles, Seconds and over-runs are nice if you've tried the cigars they were originally supposed to be and liked them but if you haven't, you could end up with a bundle of sticks you don't care for and can't get rid of.

Just something to think about on your way down that slope.

Btw, buying "mega-samplers" from CI is an incredibly cheap way of trying out a variety of smokes without breaking the bank but still filling up the humidor. Before investing in a single box, it gives you around 20 gars with 4-5 different blends in each sampler for the price of about $2.50-4 a stick(with many of them retailing for more than double or triple that, and just some great go-to sticks in general). Even though I have been smoking for about two years now, I have yet to make a single box purchase(but that is happening as soon as I return to the states

). I have solely purchased mega-samplers, 5'ers and singles but I don't regret it. It has provided me with experiencing dozens of different blends without emptying my wallet and now I have enough knowledge as to what blend I love and will buy by the box.

/end CI praise
