  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Glad I held off... I seem to see a lot of bad reviews on CI's deals. Do they ever have good ones?

Actually, today isn't too shabby. The One-Day deal of 20 JdN's for $40; toss in "Joe's Daily" of 20 Perdomo CI Legends for another $40 with free shipping on entire order and you've got 40 pretty good smokes at $2 per. Not top-shelf, but no turds here by any means.

I am clearly a noob... I am thinking of pikcing up the daily deal (Perdomo CI Legends), the one day deal fo 20 JdN's and the Pirate's Gold by Rolando Reyes - No. 4 Maduro 40 pack (50 bucks). I figure since my current stock of 3 or 4 cigars is quite small...that this is a good buy. Any comments?

I am also getting 2 round Hygro-Set Adjustable Digital Hygrometers as I am building a coolidor and the second one because orders of 150 include a free small humidor that does not have a hygrometer...

Am I going nuts or is this a good deal for a noob?

The Joya de Nic are good smokes, I do not know about the Pirates gold. Considering you are going to have a cooler for storage, you'll have room to get something else if you don't like them. Look around other sites to see if you are acctually getting a deal or enough of a deal to make sense. While you may get 20 smokes for $40 if they are normally $45 smokes, you are not getting a good deal. Unless you already kow you will like that cigar. I cross reference JRcigar, CI, Famous, and tampa humidor. If you want to try something as a single cigar, Tampahumidor.com offers free shipping on singles smokes no matter how many you buy.

OOps, the 50 pack of Pirates Gold is 45 dollars..I am thinking of these as cheap "everyday smokes," although I dont smoke everyday. Or giveaways when Im smoking with a friend.

right on, i was just giving basic examples. A little research is advised, and read the reviews. CI and Famous will post negative reviews as well as good reviews. For a buck a stick, you can toss em or give em away if you don't like them. I bought some cheap shit on CI way back and they have been in the humi for a year. They acctually smoke ok now.

The Pirates Gold have gotten great reviews for the price range. The CI Perdemo Legends have no reviews that I can see. I am basically trying to get a collection of decently priced cigars started for the summer - I always love a nice cigar while trying to catch a big fish! When my tastes develop, then I will most likely start going for the expensive ones.

Pirates Gold is really not worth the money. Invest your funds in a better smoke. Haeadbanger got a few and sent them out for folks to try.
