Anyone had an experience with these? They get mixed reviews and was wondering if anyone has tried them. Very cool packaging, but the polished turd comes to mind....

Probably the polished turd thing...Halfwheel pretty much panned it with an aggregate of 75. I generally don't put too much stock in the "ratings," but that's a pretty low number. :cautious: They don't make it sound particularly appealing (and in fairness to them, they did smoke two of them).

I read that and I also have seen some positives. Can get a box for about $55 right now so I'm not sure...

One thing I've learned (the expensive way, of course! :banghead: ) is that just because I can score a great deal on a stick doesn't mean I should buy a whole box. Especially if I haven't tried it. :stop: What I've ended up with more than once is a box of sticks that was a steal; but after one or two I had no interest in smoking them. :vomit:

I am sure you are right. I was looking for vindication on a purchase and you backed me off of the ledge. Thanks brother!

You bet! Glad my mistakes could benefit someone else. Just understand that if you're talking about a box of Anejos or Davidoffs, I also reserve the right to push you OFF that ledge! :ROFLMAO:

Man, looking at the picture on halfwheel makes me think I'd almost pay $55 just for that box.

Maybe you'll get lucky and the cigars will be smokeable too. Do it....dooooooo it. :D

Haha. This is the response I was looking for to push me over the edge! Must resist.... Was hoping someone had tried them and could give an opinion on here.

Sorry, I've got one Foundry cigar in the humi from a pass, but I've never smoked anything from the brand yet. Only thing I'm good for here is enabling.

But zippogeek is right, it's almost never a good idea to buy a box without having tried it..but that packaging is pretty cool.
