If you had a $300 budget to buy a couple boxes of current or recent productions CCs what 2-3 boxes would you buy? I’m currently thinking about ordering a box of RyJ short Churchill’s a box of HDM epicure de luxe and a box of partagas sd4 and saving a little $ for my next order. Considering Bolivar petite Coronas instead of one of the others.

Hmmmm....how to spend my daily budget:nailbiting:
depends on your intention as far as when you plan to smoke them
If the answer is right away, or within 6 months then I would base my decisions on what date codes are available for which sticks and make sure I was getting 2014 or older so you can enjoy them.
If i was very new to CCs I would seek out samplers of sticks from 2015 or older and try to get as much variety as possible
If you plan to let them sit for a few years, buy whatever you like.
I personally wouldnt buy epi deluxe, but im biased because i think short robos are dumb, especially at that price.

Smoke some now save some for later and see how they change over time is the goal. The epi de luxe is actually the smoke I got for myself and my groomsmen for my wedding back in October so I feel like I need them on hand for anniversaries. All the samplers I’ve seen have been outrageously priced.

Price depends on what's in them and who is selling them. Things like regionals and aged cohibas come at premiums that are subjective on value

I'd still target the 14 or older codes if buying boxes. Makes for better smoking short term with plenty of time for aging. And what is available in older dates may lead you to buy something you didn't anticipate and end up loving. I just ordered Sancho panza non Plus, HdM Palmas extra, and some Rafael Gonzalez PC from 2014. Don't know if I like them or not, willing to roll dice and find out vs buying one of these shit boxes from 16/17 with garbage wrappers

Seems like some of this mid to late 17 stuff is coming out with wrappers you guys would consider nice. Ie: Boli
But the medium darkish wrappers on the mid 17 party shorts are delicious.
