Casa Fuente Recommendations

[jrohrer]

going to vegas next weekend...gonna stop at Casa de la fuente

so, for those of you who have been there...what should I pick up/smoke while there.

I'm already planning a box split, put I want to pick up some other singles and rareties.

what say y'all gents?

Unless you have a bottomless bank account the only cigar you cant find elsewhere cheaper is the Casa Fuente. Maybe the forbidden X but I have managed to pick these up much cheaper. A FFOX DC is going to cost you $45 bucks. The prices are outrageous. Check some of the local cigar stores around Vegas. The Tinder Box is good and Pheasant as well as the Cigar Box. All carry an excellent variety of FFOX at better prices.

Its sort of like buying a beer at a swanky nightclub. You pay $15 for a beer that cost $1.75 but the scenery and the experience are worth the extra. You would not however buy yourself a case of beer from them to take home.

My 2 cents

all good points chuck...I'm thinking splitting a box of the Casa's and pickng up a few singles for myself. We'll see!

thanks man

oh I know...I just called them and asked for prices for the split

 

[Altercall]

Isn't there also a 30-something% tax on top of that?

 

[Irritech]

They are quite pricey and I agree with everything CWS said. However, I had heard that there were things there other than the Casa's that can be had such as Chili peppers, the AF 13's ($135 a pop??). Anyway, like I said, I'm in for a 5er of the Casa's. If you can't get enough for a split, LMK and if you have ** I'll send you some $$'s to pick me up a couple while you're there. I'm partial to the robo's, but whatever you want is fine with me. :drool:

I'm gettin the feeling there's a form of payment we're not able to mention by name LOL :nono:
