split a $50 box...hmmm, how many in a box?
I think they are "good"... but not great... and not someting I want to reach for regularly... but they arent a bad smoke...I kept looking at them, I liked the Namakubi Papi Chulos but haven't had the Ltd Conjura Edition. But I mean at that price, $2.50 a stick, it could be a winner for a quick smoke.Never had one.
Are they box worthy?
I like them a lot. When I'm looking for a quick smoke I rotate the Ltd, Baitfish, Illusion Rothchild, AF Short story and the AB Punk. At $50 a box, I will always keep a box on hand. Plus I like to buy from our sponsors when I can.I think they are "good"... but not great... and not someting I want to reach for regularly... but they arent a bad smoke...I kept looking at them, I liked the Namakubi Papi Chulos but haven't had the Ltd Conjura Edition.

Are they box worthy?
at the $50 price point I think they are well worth it... I wouldnt pay full retail for them though.. they arent that "good" to me...
I still prefer the little asylum petit coronas over them for a "quick" smoke (among other things).. I can pick those up all day long for less than $60 a box on cbid...
I'll take as few as 2 and as many as you want. I just want to try them and if it helps someone pull the trigger...split a $50 box...hmmm, how many in a box?
My group has bought and split up three boxes so far. Great smoke at $3 a stick after shipping.I like them a lot.

I've seen this before and have been contemplating buying it for sometime. It looks tempting.While not super high end stuff there are some very good cigars in this sampler and no real duds and at $99 for 40 sticks your talking $2.50 (apprx) per stick. Just think it's worthy of the deal page.

Meh. To each their own, but I bet you could find a bunch of better stuff for $99. While certainly not garbage, 99 bucks can get you some real good shit. Quality, not quantity I've learned. But again, this is only my opinion, and certainly not telling you what to do.I've seen this before and have been contemplating buying it for sometime.

I ordered one of the No. 9 sampler boxes Friday afternoon as a gift, and it showed up first thing this morning. Fast shipping. Also, they threw in a T52 belicoso as a freebie. A+ on customer service.Not a deal, but people before have expressed interest in them, at Smallbatchcigar.com they have in stock two of each of the Liga Privada No. 9 and T52 sampler boxes for $65 each. You get one belicoso, one robusto, one corona doble, and two toros all in a nice display box. Great for collectors and decent price for the sticks.
They also have one 48 ct. Toro box of 9s for $560, don't see that very often.
I gotta agree. I'd rather have 14 stellar sticks at $7/ea than all 40 of the ones listed.Meh. To each their own, but I bet you could find a bunch of better stuff for $99. While certainly not garbage, 99 bucks can get you some real good shit. Quality, not quantity I've learned. But again, this is only my opinion, and certainly not telling you what to do.
