Ordering stuff from CI and had a question - Page 2

Les Nessman · 08-03-2010, 07:52 PM

Well, if you order in the next 2 hours or so you could go with the 1 day deal:

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_oneday.asp

You could get two of those for around $50. I'd vote for Padilla, Alec Bradley or Pepin.

Duque: Do you REALLY want to smoke a cigar pronounced "Dookie"?

DropTheE · 08-03-2010, 08:22 PM

Bill, you should really look into the Newbie Sampler Trade over in the newbie section. It is a great deal and you will come away with some really great smokes and it will be alot less than going to CI to start with. Go over and check it out, Smokin'Gator heads it up and is a great guy and he will help you get started and point you in the right direction. Trust me, you will love it!!!

Let the brothers here on the forum turn you on to some great cigars. Plus everyone gets all uppity when a newbie just like you comes along. Am I right guys??

Agreed 100%!

Bill86 · 08-04-2010, 02:02 AM

Alrighty I'm looking into everything you guys recommended so far my order is as follows (without a sampler, haven't picked one yet)

100 Cigar humi - I only plan on keeping a few months worth at a time.
Digital Hygrometer
5 Vegas Robusto +3 sampler (28 cigars)
Free 50 Alta Gracia Natural Cigarillos

While I look into one more sampler, is there anything else I am missing that I might need to get to take care of all the cigars I plan on buying?

Also side note and off topic, I tried snorking today and I must say....much enjoyable got it on my first try, it definitely helped to have smoked cigarettes for quite a while (knowing not to inhale). Had a Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic on my break at work FANTASTIC. Also I finally am getting good even burns. Seems I'm picking up this addiction quite well. I'll post pictures later on (crappy Iphone pics but meh)

Bill: DPG CC Is A Great Smoke!

Are You Using Beads For Humidifying Your Humi? 65RH Is The Amount Most People Prefer. You Have A Good, Reliable Cutter & Lighter? Enjoy The Ride, Brother!

Dunkel · 08-04-2010, 05:53 AM

Seeing that you took a fancy to the DPG CC here's a good deal. It might not work for you but it did for me. Go to Make Me an Offer section at CI, in the area that says catgories click on samplers, choose the "Best Of Pepin" sampler (it's on the second page to the right hand side) make an offer of $39.99. I got it for that price a month ago. That's 15 DPG cigars for $44.99 when you add shipping. in the catalog that sampler is $49.99 before shipping.

chicken · 08-04-2010, 06:04 AM

GROSS!
Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars.

Good luck with that lol.

Bill86 · 08-04-2010, 05:46 PM

Yeah that 100 cap just turned into a 300 cap but I have to wait a week before I can order it.... Gotta get paid, I bet I end up ordering it tomorrow or tonight though. Getting the humicare jar 4 oz with it should be enough

smokin5 · 08-04-2010, 08:46 PM

Here's a head's up - this Free Shipping link still works for Cigars Int'l:

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/freepmx3

Save yourself a few bucks that way.

Bill86 · 08-04-2010, 11:39 PM

Score thanks man I'll definitely use that

Any of those worth picking up? Like as In...they taste decent-goodISH and can be used as a cheap smoke or pass off to friends? Or a quick smoke where you would smoke half of the cigar and chuck it?

Don't drink the CI Kool-Aid! It's not anything like the descriptions!

That's more disturbing than my snot rag!

Bill86 · 08-05-2010, 02:59 AM

Well thanks to you guys in a week I went from....

VERY uneven burns to MUCH MUCH better burns
HORRID cuts to VERY good cuts
I also started snorking cigars

Overall the enjoyment ...up about 9000%

That picture just took it down about 8997% though.

08-05-2010, 07:27 AM

I've heard that the palma reals are decent, but i've tried the 1876 and
those are good as hell! Good mild to medium. A guy that i do business with
that's all he smokes! He gave em a handful, and I passed a few around to my
friends. Everybody who smoked one said... "That's a damn good smoke!"

I got the same reaction from the JDN Fuerte Serie B! If you don't have a lot
of money, those are two great smokes pound for pound!
