Muwat +11 or Inferno flashpoint? I’ve found a few decent prices out there and I’m going to pull the trigger tonight. Or any other suggestions of a 10 pack in the $40 range?

I see Atlantic Cigars has a Citicard brand sampler 10 count for $45.96 at my price. May be higher for you, not sure.

Can't say I think much of the Infernos. There are lots of Oliva 5 packs in your price range on Cigarauctioneer with no bids on them.

Weelok's suggestion is also excellent!

Thanks for the suggestions guys! That sampler comes out to close to $60 with shipping. Those Muwat’s are in CM for $40 with free shipping. They also have oliva series g tubo’s for $44 for a 10 pack. Hmmmm

Thumbs up Re: If you where me....

Honestly, I can't say that I necessarily dislike the Inferno Flashpoints...especially if they are found on sale or on a bidding site. Can't speak to the Muwats, never had one.

I once read somewhere someone claimed that the Flashpoint was basically a more affordable Melanio but I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. Both are nice cigars but different. Flash points are sometimes a little loosely/sloppily rolled imo, but still tasty!

Randy if you want my opinion if I was in your shoes? I'd pony up just a little more and grab a 5er of Guardian if the farm for $21 on cigar auctioneer and then pick out some other 5er that sits at $20 or less and bite the shipping charge. Maybe a 5er by DPG (Black, Jamie Garcia or Flor de Antilles) or some other company that you know you like. Here's the Guardian link:

https://www.cigarauctioneer.com/guar...ionnum=4215435

But that's just my opinion...I have a soft spot for one hell of a delicious blend that pays homage to mans best friend.

Second everything gomeitsmybday said. If the Flashpoint is anything like a Melanio, no need to look further. And I just got 3 five packs of the Guardians at $22 on CBID so if you can get them for $21, wow, done. Those are great cigars.

Olivia O’s are nice as well. The G’s I don’t care for but that’s just my palate. The G’s are likely more suited for most people.

Sure thing, and yeah I'd recommend sticking to the bidding sites if you are looking to save money, less smoke and mirrors imo.

Matter of fact - check the following site out, it lets you search the various bidding sites all at once for the best prices.

Just don't go outbidding me on anything!
