Bundles, Seconds and Over-Runs

[BeerAdvocate]

I really like the Fumadors from Holts for $30 a box!!

[Mr. Ed]

Had a Palma Real toro earlier today. For a buck a stick I would say it's worth it. Nice mild flavor, never turned harsh, good burn, nice draw. Good if you just want something to toss around.

I have bought a few to try and like the Famous Nic 3000's but most others have let me down and also use a lot of humi room having to age them for months. Lately I have realized if I shop Monster & CI daily specials, etc I can buy some pretty nice stuff for $3 and under that are usually better than the bundle stuff.

Do they run specials on these, or did the price jump up recently? Cheapest is $41.95 for the #1s in the new catalog. Debating between these (#2s, probably) and the LHOs...

They go on a weekend, or weekly special every few months. last time it was a catalog special meaning that it lasted about a month, for $29.99 for any size.

Let me guess, the catalog special was last month?

These are "sandwich" cigars, made/blended by DPG and are pretty good value for the $$$. JMHO.

New the site (joined like 2 days ago) and gotta say....

This thread is one of the best going. Keep it going boys...assembling my list right now and making those coolidor plans....smoke once a week....HAH, every frickin day now!

Question.... Which are better? The Tabacos Baez SF Maddies, or these Holt's
Fumadores? and also what are the differences.... Fumadores looks like a Criollo
wrapper... Just asking because the benchmade have a tannic/espresso profile
to them... Maybe they get better w/ age. I'll have to pull one out.

Kind of hard to compare a $140 box of TB to a $40box of short fillers.

He was asking about the difference between $40 box of Fumadores, and a $40 box of TB SF.

I MUCH prefer the Fumadores. They have a significantly better flavor, and better construction IMO. The Tobacos Baez SF have a little of the tanic flavor that Benchmades have.

I must be frickin ignorant! I looked at the first(primary)question asked.
