CI Joe Cigar Deals- Do You Buy 'Em? - Page 3

Thrak · 01-12-2009, 10:54 AM

I have 4 times in the last 6 months. Its a good way for a newbie to cigars (like me) to get a nice sampler of "boutique" smokes for not much money.

I also jump on the weekly deals sometimes too... on my doorstep at home I have waiting for me 10 5Vegas 'A's from a JoeDeal last week and the Padilla sampler from the weekly deal... with free shipping, thats only $2.50 per stick!

Nope. If I want free shipping I have a nice little add on to the address of CI that gets me free ground and reduced express.

Speaking of good deals, the devil's site just popped up with ten of the Cubao No. 5s in their specials section.....auctioning off 50....my guess is that they'll probably go for around $43. Just my luck that I won a fiver of the 5s for 27.50 today and a few days ago the robustos for $27. Blech......awful timing.

Usually how it happens. I ordered some Pepin Blues, than the next day Joe offers them and than I saw another vendor was selling fivers for $18 which is ever so slightly cheaper than the Joe deal so it happens. I have just learned to not eat me up anymore because it never fails to happen to me.

I will generally purchase the Pepins and related lines like certain padillas if I like. Doing this allows me to have enough pepin to smoke regularly and age the newer so I dont smoke them on arrival or for a few months.
Never had any issues with product. I learned very early to not smoke CI when it arrives as its always wet.
That said I am stocking up on mostly CC so my humi is mostly CC with Pepins and a few highend NC sprinkled in.

Seems like I buy about one out of every 15 or so of these deals... (3 to 4 times a year?)

I have been happy with what I have gotten... my

In the past, I've certainly purchased many a Joe Cigar deal... prices are usually very competitive, you don't have to wait for the auctions to end as on cbid, and free shipping makes the deal a good one. Delivery to me was always quick, although most of the CI product arrives quite wet.

However, my tastes have changed... I'm close to 100% confident that Joe has little to offer my palate nowadays, which is why I voted 'no'...

I occasionally buy them.

I am watching the Jambalaya today to see if anything jumps out at me.

No, only because I am geographically challenged!
