Affordable by the box…. I don’t know if I am ready to spend over $300 for a box of 25. I probably would if I found something that just knocked my socks off….and would justify it by saying that it is better than buying singles at my B&M for +$5 every time I wanted one. I go in, walk out with 6-7 sticks for $100+ and KNOW that I would be better off buying a box online and that is frustrating….

That is exactly what prompted my first box purchase….. Though don’t make that sound like I am buying a bunch of $250 boxes…. I have been smoking cigars for 4ish months and have only purchased 2 boxes. 1 Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Nova($130), 1 Padilla Miami Robusto($105-Cbid). Currently eyeing another more expensive box…..but have not pulled the trigger.

The above statements are not to say that I don’t appreciate my B&M, I do….they have a great selection and they are top notch folk.
