CA Bargain List 2008

[bballbaby]

Just got my current issue of CA

Usually i look forward to seeing the CA list of bargain smokes. This year i'm very dissappointed. Is it me or is it strange that all 40 or so smokes comes from about 5 manufactures?!?! Was up wit dat?!?!

THis only futhers my suspicions that they are indeed biased based upon financial contribution. You're tellin me that those were the only brands with something that made the grade.

Phooey!!!

And the top 25 list...not overly impressed with that one either.

just a rant. thanks for listening

Hey Gale try some Mayorga cigars. They're made with Nic tobacco and I think are great especially for the price. Hell I might have even sent you one at some point.

[bballbaby]

mayorga?? i'v heard mention of them, but never seen em.

[dpricenator]

I have a couple that Tedski sent me a year and a half ago. They were at least a year old when he sent them, if I remember correctly. I liked the one I smoked.

Mayorgas are pretty good as a bargain smoke.

I do want to try a Casa Magna. Too bad I cannot find any anywhere.

[VillageIdiot]

Silocigars has Casa Magna, but you have to call to order.

+1 for the Mayorga. Fond memories of the maduro torp. When I have more room (I feel as though I've said this a lot lately), I'll be getting some of these.

[dpricenator]

The Mayorga can be had at JR I believe.

[smokinghole]

It can be had at a bunch of places. I know they've been on cbid a few times.

I really like the Perdomo Lot 23's that made the list.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Good tasting inexpensive smoke.

[bballbaby]

yep, i've enjoued the lot 23s i've had.

You know come to think of it the Mayorga cigars I've had in the past were the "hi-octane" version that come in a triangle shaped box of 27 cigars. Each set of three is packaged in it's own triangular coffin with a red band and then all nine of them are stuffed in the double hinged box. I can get a box of the natural robustos for around $35 but the "hi-octane" go for $80ish. Not that $80 is too much considering the price I've paid for some cigars but $35 is obviously less than half.

I only bring this up because I wonder if they're the same cigars as the standard natural Mayorga line. I don't want to go recommending a cigar I haven't smoked, now if they're the same but with different packaging then by all means buy them.

As well I really have not heard much of the Casa Magna, has anyone tried them. I thought last years top 25 list was a very good one, I am not too impresed with this one.

The best bargain out there IMO is the Cuba Aliados Orginales made by Reyes Familly, exclusively available through Holt's. The acquisition of these cigars is an interesting story.

On their way....:grin:
