$1000 worth of cigars
 

OK, Andrew (DPD6030) brought up a question with his "if you had the $" thread about whether you'd buy special cigars or everyday cigars, but he asked in regard to CCs.

Well, I'd like to play a similar game. You get $1000 to spend on cigars - CC or NC. Here's the catch, they can only be cigars that you could buy at whatever time you look at the thread. Make believe that the offer is this, you get $1000, but it is a one shot deal, you must go immediately and do your shopping before you close this thread or respond - once you respond here or go to another thread, the $$$ is no longer available to you.

It isn't what you'd "LIKE" to buy, but what you can buy - it is presently available at some vendor somewhere.

Have fun with this, keep a running total.

So, if you could shop today for cigars with $1000, and only what would you buy?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

8 boxes of Oliva V Maduros from Best Cigar Prices, should have hit the $1K close to on the button.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

a THOUSAND??? What is this, North Korea??

1 box Esplendidos, 1 box Lanceros, 1 box of 25 Boli Coronas Jr.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

A single box of Behike 52's. Think thats the only way I would ever get some!!!

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

H. Upmann Mag 46's $180
Hoyo du Prince $130
Trini Fundy's $290
Cohiba Lanceros $340
Siglo VI (3) $60
That's $1000 on the nose. That sure was easy. :D

If PLpc's and Hoyo du Gourmet's were available, the list would change substantially.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

3 boxes of Behike 54s, and the leftover cash will be spent on tequila. ;)

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

I believe this was along the line I was thinking!!!:banger

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

$1K is a lot of money to some folks on this board (myself included). To others, it is a pittance. Either way, it is a good chunk of change to spend on cigars in one fell swoop - it allows latitude, and yet forces the purchaser to make choices.

The reason I decided to limit it to only what you can purchase now, is that there are some who'd want to spend it on this or that, and those cigars ar not presently available. Someone might try and stock up on Anejos, or something else that presently isn't available.

I just thought it would be fun, and different question.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Looks like a good list to me. Though I would scratch the Mag 46's and du Prince's for a 50 cab of PLPC's. They're around. :)

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Oh another interesting tidbit here will be to watch how many people spend the $$ on CCs, how many on NCs, and how many will have a mix.

Maybe there ought to be some follow-up questions:
If you selected all NCs, have you had any CCs before?
If you selected all CCs, is that all you smoke?

Just out of curiosity...

Brad was being facetious, Todd. Or maybe, more appropriately, sarcastic. :)

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Yeah, but I ain't payin' that. I can buy more cigars if I exercise a little patience. :D

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

I smoke both, but don't really buy full boxes of many NC's. Only because not very many age well. And, more often than not, I only smoke NC's when I want a maduro and something full bodied/full flavored. The rest of the time it's CC's.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

3 boxes of RP 15th Anniversary Toro
2 boxes of Don Tomas Clasico Toro
1 box of La Traviata Toro

i haven't priced checked it but that should get me to about $1000 depending on the retailer/website.

and also with you.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

1 Box Esplendidos
1 Box Sir Winston
1 Box Monte #2

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

3 boxes of CoLa's

Should be ~1K, maybe $15-$30 more.

I'm too lazy to look that up.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

If you want NC, my list would include:

1 Box LP #9 Pigs
1 Box Anejo 55
1 Box AF SS Maddies
1 Box Tat Anarchy's
1 Box Illusione 88's
1 Box Berger and Argenti Quad Maddies

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

I smoke whatever I'm in the mood for, beit nc or cc. I picked all cc's cause that's what I'm stocking up on right now, and what I'm enjoying right now. I have enough NC's to keep me for 100 years.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

You don't need to pay that, unless you want 01's ;)

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Coulda guessed that, lol.

Though I can't argue either. Excellent choice. I believe they go for around $350 per box.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

And you know a spot or spots where you could find all these for sale today?

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Because of the Anarchy's I would have to go to Smoke Inn. But the rest I could get at Tampa Humidor when the piggies and AF SS Maddies are in.

I would do this differently if I had the time and computer access to do my research from my work computer! But if you handed me $1000 and said you have 5 minutes to order, it would look something like this.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

VR Unicos- Box
Monte Edmundo- Box
CoRo- Box
AF Hemingway- Box
AF Anejo Shark- 10

I'll use the remaining $60 or so for a couple of Growlers of craft beer or a bottle of Macallan 12 yr.

:r I like the way you think.

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Backordered is not "presently available at some vendor somewhere". Backordered means it isn't presently available. That's why they made up that whole new word, so they could carefully make that distinction. ;)

Re: $1000 worth of cigars
 

Wow you must be buying fakes... :confused: They are at least 400+ at a duty free location. Add tax and they get 'close' to 1k if you buy in Canada.
