If you had $1000

[cmontgomery]

If you had $1000 to spend on boxes of cigars what would you choose? I will be doing this early next month and have to not only choose my favorites, but also buy some give away cigars, which of course I want to be able to enjoy also. Hmmm, the delima!

 

[Alex Svenson]

Hmmmm I guess it depends on how many you boxes want. Mind you that I am kind of an aged cigar snob but my picks would be:

2003 Oliva Master Blends I Robusto 325.00
http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=485

1999 Camacho Havana Petit 100.00
http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=518

Cusano C10 Crown Corona 65.00
http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=343

La Aurora 100 Anos Robusto 300.00
http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?brand=335

That brings us up to $996.96. With an order like that im sure shipping will be free.

The $3.04 left over you can spend on half of a six pack of beer. The other half of the beer will have to be bought by a friend whom you are going to share one of your many cigars with.

…when can I come over?



i think a few of these may have changed.

i may go with the Italia in the robusto size (whatever thats called) not the brazilia gol.
and i may go with the cusano corojo 97 instead of the edge corojo (for a few bucks cheaper. )


iduno. I also may opt out of the pueblo dominicanos for a hand full of Gurkha Centurians.

 

[cmontgomery]

all nice choices. I am planning on buying at least 2 nice boxes specificaly for aging purposes.

Kuzi, Beer is an entirely different budget . Have to be able to enjoy beer and scotch with the smokes!!!!

I have about 3 weeks to fully decide. That is when my cabinet comes in, and having time to season it.

 

[Alex Svenson]

ahhh the plot thickens, you have a cabinet coming.

I might offer this one peice of advice for any new cabinet owners. Dont worry about filling it right away. I made that mistake and bought a bunch of stuff I thought was just okay. Now I dont have room for some of my new favorites. Live and learn I guess.

 

[PuFf]

Oliva Master Blends I

I'm dying to get a box of these before cigar.com runs out but what can I say... there just outta my price range right now. In other words, the lady would kill me for spending that much on a box of cigars!

 

[cmontgomery]

What my basic plan is, to spend the initial $1000, that will probably buy between 5 and 8 boxes depending on what I get. I need some give away cigars for clients (ride it off :wink: ), then take my time filling the rest with other favorites. It is a 1000 + capacity cabinet, to go along with my 300 ct at home.

Godd advice alex

Those OMB 1's are absolutely fantastic cigars. I struck gold at my local B&M and got a fistful of them for dirt cheap. Probably my favorite Nicaraguan smoke at the moment.

I don't know what I'd do with a grand. Probably divide equally between boxes of stuff I love, boxes of everyday stuff, a few super premium singles and some sticks for any rookies or mooches that may stop by.

 

[Alex Svenson]

You guys are going to be the death of me I just smoked a few master blends I and honestly, if some of you folks on the forum dont get a chance to try these you are really going to miss out. It is one of the finest aged cigar I have had the privilage of smoking. Soooooooo I just marked them 30% off but you have to get them before this Sunday. Please dont post this special on any other forums or sites.

[cmontgomery]

Thanks Alex. I just called Jeff and got a box of the Robusto set up!

 

[Cloudy]

Guys, jump on this offer while you can. These cigars are excellent. Like I said before, this is my favorite Nicaraguan and that includes the Padron Anniversary line.

Three thumbs up on the Master Blends.

 

[Bikeman]

Andrew, if you are having problems with those three thumbs, I am sure a doctor can fix that for you!!


You guys all forgot the all time fav, Cusano 18 Natural. A box of those babys will provide hours of quality entertainment.

Another must have would be some RP 1990, the gentlemens maduro.

There you go bro!

 

[vince]

I would use it as a down payment on the $5000.00 box of Padrons in the last Holts catalog !
