Thinking about these - Argyle from Holt's

[Nosmo King]

Anyone every smoked 'em? Seems to be a killer deal. Looking for some cheap smokes as my cigar budget has been slashed as of late.

I did a search for "Argyle" on here and didn't get too much feedback, I think one good, another neutral. Appreciate any/all input!

Argyle Monster Deal $35.00 :dunno:
Includes 30 cigars:

15 Argyle Robusto Natural
15 Argyle Robusto Maduro

I've never had these, but I was browsing the Holt's catalogue yesterday and they had some decent deals going on!

Normally not a good idea to buy 30 cigars of a type you have never had before. See if you can buy a single or a 5er first. You may get stuck with 29 cigars you hate.

 

[blooz4u]

Good point Rabb!

I have not tried them...these gents got me caught up with the Flor De Oliva's...pretty decent cheap smoke. little sweet at the beginning but mellows out nice. Out of the bundle I got...only 2-3 had any real burn issues...give them a shot if u have not already!

i would have to agree... unless u plan to use them for trade or bombs or something of that matter..

Yeah, I hear ya, I'm just SERIOUSLY low on smokes right now, down to the point where I'm going to "have to smoke the good stuff" and I don't want to do that (yet)...and of course, I'd rather not get stuck with 29 sticks, hence the reason for the post....

I do like the Flor De Oliva's...tried a few at my local B&M, good for the price.

I will 2nd and 3rd these. Awesome sticks for the price! They are sandwich Cigars but you would never know it if I didnt tell you that. I picked 2 5 packs up last time I was in Reno at Dion's shop and am ready to order me a lot more!

Exactly... never know unless someone mentions it.

I bought 46s and 47s and love them.

Well, I went ahead and ordered them (the Argyles), splitting them with two other buddies. If they are turds then I shall reserve them for my "Hey, I know I never bring a cigar but do you have one?" friends.

LOL

I would take a pass on the Argyles. If you want to buy any Holt's bundles, read the descriptions and look for a reference to Holt's Tasting Committee. Any bundle that bears the seal of approval from the Holt's Tasting Committee is generally good, and a good buy for the money. The Argyle description doesn't mention the HTC, and some of the people at the Philadelphia store kind of made a face when I asked about them.

Thanks for the information my brother, I wasn't aware of that but will definately look for it now! :applause:

Ditto. Holts will sell the stuff but also give you the whole story on the sticks. Love those guys

 

[Nosmo King]

Well, it's too late, as I've already ordered them, no worries there, I've got these sticks in mind for a few folks if I dislike them (hey, I'm probably gonna smoke 'em anyway, I've stomached my way through some "real winners" in the past LOL).

I plan on ordering up some of the 7x50 Fumadores in the near future from Holts...and some 7x50 Benchmades from here (http://www.cheapercigars.com/don-pepin-benchmade-cigars.html) unless someone else has a cheaper source.

 

[Nosmo King]

They came in Friday, not a bad smoke for the money at all!

After settling in my humi for a few days the maduros are even better! Nice and spicy, with a good kick. I usually smoke 2-3 cigars on my usual Tuesday Night shindig, but last night I just had one of the maduros and that was all I needed (granted it was a pretty big weekend of partying/smoking at the lake anyway!). Have yet to try the naturals.
