Box Recommendations

[KGD]

Any box recommendations? I'be been slowly trying out new cc's, had a few good chances and have been trying to stay moderately priced buys thus far - partagas millefleurs, a box of 10 psd4s, 10 montecristo petit edmundos, and por laranaga pantanellas - keeping it small and cheap.

I'm looking to expand my horizons, what are your favorite staple cc's to buy by the box? Looking to place an order in the next week, thx for your suggestions...

I should elaborate. Around. 4 to 5 bucks per. Strong full flavored little smoke. My go to daily cc

Don't think this will help you, but my next box will be Bolivar Petit Coronas. I have been smoking a lot of smaller cigars lately because of my kids. I don't smoke in front of them yet so usually when I light up it's later and I don't want something that will take 2 hours. They are under 150 for a box. But I haven't had any Bolivars and I want to try them.

RASS. Great sticks, not too expensive. Bolivar Gold Medals. PLPC buy a cab of them (50).

Those psd no4 are my go to smoke lately.

I really enjoy the spiciness of the ryj cazadores, but I just put in a order for jose piedra creamas.

Dude. The list is too long. For cheaper daily smokes, I'd go with a few from this list:
RASS
RASCC
Monte 4
Partagas Short
PLPC
HUHC
Trinidad Reyes
Juan Lopez no 2

Can't go wrong with any of the above if you are buying from a reputable vendor.

BGMs appear to have finally dried up over the last few months. At least from where I'm comfortable shopping. Shame.

All of them

Are in the top everyday good price sticks for me now. Think I'm done with most NC. CC stuff is smoking great and the prices are about the same anyway.

RG perlas are one of the biggest habanos steals right now ..

good stuff mentioned all around though

 

[StogieNinja]

That's like asking "what piece of art should I buy" or "what watch should I buy next"?

There are a LOT of variables that go into buying a box - price, palate, availability, etc.

What are you looking for? Short/long? Large/small? Strong/mild?

Yeah you just got to jump in to know what marcas you prefer. People can't tell you what's good, you have to figure it out for yourself. Start by buying some PC's in the different marcas to get a feel for what that marca tastes like. Maybe do some box splits with friends so you can all get 5ers of a few boxes. Find a vendor that will sell singles if you don't have the money to drop on boxes. The good thing with CC's though is if you don't like something, odds are pretty good that you can always sell the remaining ones to get your money back.

If you're looking to go early consumption, I must say I've enjoyed the heck out of some 13 Punch Punch and some JL2s.

You just need to show up Thursday nights more, you'll get more than a fair sampling of great every day smokes

 

[KGD]

Adam, I am thankful for the sampling I get to experience each time I make it up there... I'll probably be there next week given scheduled meetings.
