Recommendations on a box purchase...

St. Lou Stu · 04-22-2009, 01:44 PM

Any idea on an amount so the suggestions can be tailored to get the most 'bang for the buck'?

edit... I just saw the few weeks stipulation..... that may put a damper on a "for sure" CC purchase arrival.

I concur with the O or G. Also would suggest the ~eccj~ for about $85 or a Lot 23 for the lower end for about $55.

Oliva O maduro (just had one and it was excellent) or some Sancho Panza Double Maduros.

Oliva Serie G Maduro
Oliva Serie O Maduro
Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro
5 Vegas Series 'A'

All very tasty and all pretty inexpensive especially on the CBid.

I have to jump on this train of thought as well!

Another vote for Oliva G's.

While I agree that the Padron X000 series are great smokes I think the Olivas are a little more accessible to the novice smoker taste-wise.

I just picked up a box of Perdomo Reserve Limited Oscuro, and they are really tasty. I think they would would fit the bill with a price tag of 59.95 (after the CI free shipping code) as well as satisfy new and old smokers alike.

Good luck, and tell your friend Thank You for his service!
