Ordering stuff from CI and had a question

[Bill86]

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/catDisp.asp?cat=147

Any of those worth picking up? Like as In...they taste decent-goodISH and can be used as a cheap smoke or pass off to friends? Or a quick smoke where you would smoke half of the cigar and chuck it?

[maninblack]

I say no, but I don't believe in smoking dog rockets. And I like giving my friends good smokes so they will descend down the slippery slope like I have. Life's too short for bad cigars.

[longknocker]

My Opinion, "No". Spend Your Money On Some Quality Sticks, Brother!;)

[macsauce13]

Im with maninblack but I will say that the Liga IV's aren't bad at all. If you're looking for a yard gar or something to puff on while not paying attention.

:tpd:......but replace the words "Liga IV's" with Centenario's.

[bobarian]

None of those are worth smoking on the worst of occasions. For the money you can find better smokes on Cigarbid.com, cigarmonster or joecigar.

Here is a long thread on cheap smokes. Most of the cigars listed are still available. http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=643

[Chingas]

I agree with everyone. Don't buy em. Crap is crap and who wants to hand out crap to a friend? Friends get great sticks. Awesome sticks that you know and love.

Now if you want to buy some and find out what smokin crap is all about, rock and roll brother but I'm pretty sure you're not gonna be a big fan after the headache wears off.

[Gophernut]

I would agree with the above. Buy some sampler packs, you can usually get a great variety and find some gems.

[Dunkel]

Centenarios are awful. One of the worst handmades I've ever smoked. I fart upon Felipe Gregorio for making this cigar.

Magellans are pretty bad too.

Don Elias sucks too.

[bobarian]

None of the suckage on that page holds a candle to the FreeCuba! I think you can still find Ratters review of this foul smoke somewhere here. :pu

:hm I seriously think I may be thinking of a different cigar then. The band looked strikingly similar to it...

Admittedly I only had a couple of them a good while ago so I wouldn't doubt my memory being wrong.

[tuxpuff]

Some horrible smokes there...if you're looking for cheap...check out devil's weed...semi decent.

[pektel]

There should be a thread on the WORST cigars so us noobs know which to stay away from. Although, everyone has different standards. And different tastes. Nevermind.

[T.G]

Hate to admit it, but I actually have smoked about 2/3 of the cigars on that page.

Years ago the Centenarios used to be decent. Not worth the $8-10 MSRP tag that they carry. But for two bucks, sure. I have no idea what the current crop of them is like. Nothing else on there though that I would touch again unless I was sending it to the troops so they could use them to interrogate unfriedlies by forcing the unfriendlies to smoke them, but I think there's a Geneva convention accord against things like that.

[Bill86]

Ok quick topic change recommend me a good sampler for $50 ish on CI

[big a]

I am a big fan of the 5 vegas line for cheap smokes. They have the 5 vegas historical collection that has 16 cigars for $40.

[Chingas]

Do it!

You are responsible for his spiraling downhill now Doug. Take ownership of your decision!

[Les Nessman]

Well, if you order in the next 2 hours or so you could go with the 1 day deal:

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_oneday.asp

You could get two of those for around $50. I'd vote for Padilla, Alec Bradley or Pepin.

[smokin5]

Duque: Do you REALLY want to smoke a cigar pronounced "Dookie"? :ss

[DropTheE]

Bill, you should really look into the Newbie Sampler Trade over in the newbie section. It is a great deal and you will come away with some really great smokes and it will be alot less than going to CI to start with. Go over and check it out, Smokin'Gator heads it up and is a great guy and he will help you get started and point you in the right direction. Trust me, you will love it!!! :tu Let the brothers here on the forum turn you on to some great cigars. Plus everyone gets all uppity when a newbie just like you comes along. Am I right guys??:r

[smokin5]

Ok quick topic change recommend me a good sampler for $50 ish on CI

Agreed 100%!

[Bill86]

Alrighty I'm looking into everything you guys recommended so far my order is as follows (without a sampler, haven't picked one yet)

100 Cigar humi - I only plan on keeping a few months worth at a time.
Digital Hygrometer
5 Vegas Robusto +3 sampler (28 cigars)
Free 50 Alta Gracia Natural Cigarillos

While I look into one more sampler, is there anything else I am missing that I might need to get to take care of all the cigars I plan on buying?

Also side note and off topic, I tried snorking today and I must say....much enjoyable got it on my first try, it definitely helped to have smoked cigarettes for quite a while (knowing not to inhale). Had a Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic on my break at work FANTASTIC. Also I finally am getting good even burns. Seems I'm picking up this addiction quite well. I'll post pictures later on (crappy Iphone pics but meh)

[longknocker]

Bill: DPG CC Is A Great Smoke!:tu Are You Using Beads For Humidifying Your Humi? 65RH Is The Amount Most People Prefer. You Have A Good, Reliable Cutter & Lighter? Enjoy The Ride, Brother!:banger

[Dunkel]

Seeing that you took a fancy to the DPG CC here's a good deal. It might not work for you but it did for me. Go to Make Me an Offer section at CI, in the area that says catgories click on samplers, choose the "Best Of Pepin" sampler (it's on the second page to the right hand side) make an offer of $39.99. I got it for that price a month ago. That's 15 DPG cigars for $44.99 when you add shipping. in the catalog that sampler is $49.99 before shipping.

[chicken]

GROSS!
Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars.

It is very addictive!:tu

[pektel]

Good luck with that lol.

[Bill86]

Yeah that 100 cap just turned into a 300 cap but I have to wait a week before I can order it.... Gotta get paid, I bet I end up ordering it tomorrow or tonight though. Getting the humicare jar 4 oz with it should be enough

[smokin5]

Here's a head's up - this Free Shipping link still works for Cigars Int'l:

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/freepmx3

Save yourself a few bucks that way.:)

[Bill86]

That's more disturbing than my snot rag!

[Bill86]

Well thanks to you guys in a week I went from....

VERY uneven burns to MUCH MUCH better burns
HORRID cuts to VERY good cuts
I also started snorking cigars

Overall the enjoyment ...up about 9000% :tu

That picture just took it down about 8997% though. :td

[whodeeni]

I've heard that the palma reals are decent, but i've tried the 1876 and
those are good as hell! Good mild to medium. A guy that i do business with
that's all he smokes! He gave em a handful, and I passed a few around to my
friends. Everybody who smoked one said... "That's a damn good smoke!"

I got the same reaction from the JDN Fuerte Serie B! If you don't have a lot
of money, those are two great smokes pound for pound!:tu

[fhrblig]

I also started snorking cigars


Agreed. Snorking is AWESOME.:tu
