Brothers, help me decide

[Strickland]

I got a $25 gift certificate to CI and it's burning a hole in my pocket. Help me decide what to do with it. I'm thinking of:

a) This sampler:

or b) Ten Fonsecas

or c) The More Cowbell sampler:

or d) Twenty Arganese

or e) just saving it waiting for something I already know I like to go on sale.

Feel free to add your own ideas, too. What do you think?

 

[Farani]

E...fa sho.

 

[GoingPostal]

me i'd go for a box of Perdomo Lot 23 Rob, and it would be only 50 bucks out my pocket. i would vote e) wait for something you enjoy or use it towards a box of your favorites, don't spend it just cause you have it get something you enjoy or pull the trigger on something you've been wanting to try.

 

[Highlander]

Right now, I'm still all about trying different things so I'd lean towards the cowbell sampler or the option to wait till you see something you like.

Save your money...

If I had to buy a $25 (or under) sampler from CI.

This.

Ruination is a good cigar, I'm not a huge fan of Diesel, but a lot like it.

I second that emotion...

I'm pretty sure you can use that gift card on their Daily Deal site... if I were you, I would wait for the day they have Joe's Jam going on where they put up a bunch of deals. You will have a lot more to choose from then, but you have to be quick if it's something good.

I'm in full agreement with Aloha. The jams have been stale for the last several months, but there are good cigars up there every once in a while.

For the most part, I agree with the other Bro's on watching the Jambalaya for something you really like or would like to try. As for those Arganese Maduros, I personally love em...I have a box of em in my humidor now and I'll buy another soon before they go back up. They make a great daily smoke.

 

[dpricenator]

I usually by shirts or accessories when I have a small GC like that.

 

[danthebugman]

I'd go with E, but the Lot 23s would be tempting. It's not like it's going to expire soon so you can wait for something good to come along.

Pick up a box of MoW puro authentico. Only 60$ and oh so tasty.

 

[cigarhombre]

watching the Jambalaya for something you really like or would like try

+1

I've seen some good deals on the Jam many times. and the free shipping is a nice bonus

 

[ninjafox99]

Agree w the suggestion of waiting for something you want, and/or you can get butane.

 

[NickThePyro]

Buyer's remorse sucks. Buy something you will be happy with instead of smoking something that wastes your time.

 

[veeref]

Try a 5 pack of the Liga Privada No. 9 or T52 It usually says backorder but they are pretty quick at fulfilling those.

 

[ndhaon91]

I still think the "Don Pepin 90+ rated sampler" is the best regularly available bang-for-the-buck sampler floating around on CI or CCom.

1 - 601 Serie Blue Box-Press Maduro Robusto (5.25" x 52)
1 - 601 Serie Green Habano Oscuro Tronco (5" x 52)
1 - 601 Serie Red Habano Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Cubao No. 6 (5.5" x 52)
1 - Don Pepin Garcia Blue Generoso (6" x 50)
1 - Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1970 (5" x 54)

1 - La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 5 (5.5" x 52)
