Cheap and Tasty. My next Box?

[Dr. Xikar]

This is my first poll, so give me a second to figure out how to set it up.

I work for the Cleveland Browns as a volunteer paid in tips... However, I do get a bonus based on my performance/attendance for the season. I haven't missed a single game, so my end of the year bonus should be around 200$. I'm thinking I'll use half of it to make my girlfriend happy, and the other half on cigars. So... What box should I buy?

Diesel Unholy Cocktails
5 Vegas Gold (I really like 'em with age)
5 Vegas Gold Maduro
5 Vegas Classic
Other

If other, please post a suggestion in the thread. I'm looking to get a box for 100 or less, preferably less.

I know these aren't premium cigars, but they're all relatively cheap, and smokes that I like quite a lot and will smoke every chance I get

Cheers,
Jeremy

Buy a box of tatuaje noellas.

 

[Treinenwj]

Hemingway SS can occasionally be found around that price. Or, I'll second the Tat Noellas.

 

[Dr. Xikar]

I like the Short Story... But if I'm buying a box, I'd like something that will last for more than a half hour or so

Buy a box of tatuaje noellas.

.win.

 

[Dr. Xikar]

I've never heard of Noellas (granted I haven't kept up with Tatuajes that well...) can someone tell me some stats for this? Size? Taste? Strength?

Thanks

 

[WARDOGG]

The short Story all the way.

Great choice. Some nice smokes there.

 

[GoingPostal]

well also thinking about what my first box should be. For my tastes i'm looking at.
Lot 23 Maduro
Brickhouse
Padron ambasadors

You should just get something that you really enjoy to smoke

 

[Le Buzz]

I voted for the 5 vegas classic... the best line out of the 5 vegas. A very nice smoke to spend your money on your first box purchase. You can score a box really cheap on Cigarbid or Cigars International.

Save the rest of the cash and get your girlfriend something nice. Before you know it, she'll be buying you your next box. :grin:

 

[dpricenator]

Oliva V lancero 36 smokes in a box.

 

[Dr. Xikar]

Never had the Lancero, DPrice - How's it compare to, say, the Robusto? I've had the robusto.

 

[terrantheman]

Get yourself a box of DPG cuban classics, great cigar for the money without a doubt. Sometimes you can find some AF SG Cuban Belis for around a hundo and honestly that's an amazing cigar and they age incredibly but not like you'll be able to pull that off, lol!

Chaveta Corona Gorda's

This is EASILY the winner. Great selection here, nice find Michael

 

[drob03]

I 2nd Cigar Cowboys choose of Top 25 or I'd go with the best of pepin sampler.

I also 2nd Le Buzzs choice of cigarbid. You can get some good deals on there. Especially on many of the smokes you are looking for.

I would also check out cigar auctioneer.

 

[cigarsc351w]

AF Queen B's are a great budget smoke.

 

[Simoun]

I've never had any of the sticks in your poll, but for a box of +1 hour long smokes for roughly ≤$100/box, assuming I could get a good deal on them online (cbid, etc.), I'd personally pick up:

JdN Antaño Lanceros; or
LFD Chisel Maduros (10-ct.); or
Padrón 3000 Maduros; or
Padrón Delicias Maduros

 

[danthebugman]

I'm guessing that you've smoked all the options you've listed and like them? I think box purchases should be reserved for smokes you really enjoy. If you're going with something on your list, the Diesel UC would be my pick. That said the sampler Cigar Cowboy posted has some superb smokes and if you've not had many Tats/DPG that'd be the way to go :thumbsup:. You could even order two or have some cash left to pick up something else too. I'd also second something Padron...either the 2000 or something slightly smaller will be around $100.
