la aurora preferido treasure box - BOTL Cigar Forums

cba191 · 01-05-2009, 04:33 PM

are these cigars worth the money? i think the tubes themselves look fantastic, but are the contents worth the price? i'm thinking of getting the treasure box, cuz it has all the varieties, but am hesitant because of the price. any opinions?

You can get vitolas of the Preferido that are not in the tubes, and they tend to be cheaper. IMO tubes are awesome for display, gifts, etc., but not worth extra coin if you just want the cigar...can't smoke the tube, lol.

I have not had the tubes but the ones out of the tubes are good.

I'm not a fan of all the flavors, Platinum Camroon is my favorite, had one last Sat night and yummy as always. I've gotten these for the $8 range of Cigarbid, I wouldn't pay anything close to MSRP.

For me, the green (Emerald - Ecuadorian Wrapper), stands out above all others... but to each his/her own.

I do the same thing. Nine out of ten times I get slapped in the face, but that tenth time, it's just magic.

I love the greens and the rubys they are very expensive for what you get. I prefer the preferido that is not tubed you get about 1/3 more cigar. The construction is awesome and I've never had a problem with the burn but I've probably only had about 10 of ea. so I'm no pro on this one whatsoever!
