I just found some money I didn't realize I had, and am feeling adventurous. Thought I'd buy a nice little sampler for myself.

Recommend me any of the samplers from CI, and I'll buy it.

I'll go with whatever seems to be the "general consensus" of what it is I should get :yes:

As I've said before. I usually don't care for samplers because they put in 1-2 cigars to grab your attention, and then the rest are usually sub-average. They seem to throw in cigars which were suppose to be good but didn't live up to the hype. Usually that causes an overstock and they have higher MSRP which jacks up the value of the sampler.

There are a few good samplers out there. I bought 2 today.

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=SP-JXASST20&cat=19&page=

The Don Pepin Garcia ’Top 25’ Sampler includes:
3 - Don Pepin Garcia Blue Generoso (6" x 50)
3 - La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 5 (5.5" x 52)
3 - Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979 (5" x 50)
3 - Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles (5" x 50)
3 - San Cristobal Clasico (5" x 50)

15 cigars, $40.00. Under $3.00 each.

Every cigar there is good. Look at the names. La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial, a fantastic cigar. San Cristobal which is my favorite looking cigar on the market and is a great smoke. Tatuaje Havana VI, excellent. And DPG Black & Blue, just great.


http://www.cigarsinternational.com/proddisp.asp?item=SP-NUBASST9-2&stext=Nub

The Nub Top Ten Sampler includes:
2 - Nub 460 Cameroon (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 460 Connecticut (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 460 Habano (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 460 Maduro (4" x 60)
2 - Nub 466 Box-Press Torpedo Cameroon (4" x 66)

10 cigars, $35.00. $3.50 each.

Some don't care for Nub, some really enjoy them. I've only had one (Cameroon) and I enjoyed it. I ordered this sampler as well today. I think I will really enjoy the Maduro and Habano and I know I like the Cameroon. I found this sampler back in July but they were out of stock. I posted the deal on another forum and like 15 different people ordered it, some placing multiple orders. They sold out before I could get mine, and when they came back in stock they went from $30.00 to $35.00

This was a good deal before the newer one came out. It's the same thing but they replaced the 601 Green and 5 Vegas Miami with a La Aroma de Cuba EE and Cuban Classic. I prefer think the newer one is a much better deal and the different cigars are much better.

Both are a great value though.

Well, I'll be sure to post reviews of everything I smoke :)
