Price for "vintage"

I got the 05 Mag 46's in this week. I smoked one ROTT (even though I know I shouldn't- I usually can't stop myself) and it was tasty. The box is 5, 3-packs that have 3 'loose' cigars in each of them which I thought was pretty cool. The one pack that I did open had some nice plume on it and the wrappers are very nice-looking. I love the old-school Upmann band, too...I'll report back when I smoke the next one.
Overall, for less than $10 a stick, this one is a 'buy' for sure I think.

Thanks, Doug.... squeezing the trigger, haven't pulled it just yet :timebomb:
Reporting back-
I had one today after work while walking the dogs. Initially it was very charry-tasting and I almost put it down and fetched an Upmann no.2 instead but I kept at it and boy was I glad that I did. Once it warmed up I found flavors of: yellow cake, cherry soda, and some wintergreen. I was pretty stunned. In the middle it stayed at a solid medium strength and it was loaded with vanilla and charred cedar. The last third didn't move much but it was very satisfying with excellent toasted tobacco and cedar overtones.
The construction was perfect as well as the burn. I can't say that they will all be like this one, of course, but I am going to pull the trigger on another box for sure. The packaging and presentation is really cool and the value is exceptional, I think.

I pulled the trigger on the BLP ABR 05.... hit ISC two days ago. They don't seem to be moving very fast off of the site either...... may get another if I enjoy them as much as you guys are! Can't wait for them to land! Thanks for the input, guys!
Holy crap does that sound good! I promised myself no more spending, but after reading that cliff notes, I might have to sell some stuff off to get some.
Seriously...
Right there with you! Wish they would sell them by just the 3 packs but their free shipping would lose them money
Tiny humidor betrays me again. Time to buy a second one and dive into CC's, those flavors sound like they belong in a 5 star cigar bar!
They really do man! I looked at the site but said ship to Virgin Islands/U.S. (among other places) and there is a ton more vintage like siglo V from 01 for only a little more and a ton of other stuff in regular releases also.. does anyone have a clue why that would be?

These landed earlier in the week ( Mag 46 ) ..... they were in a humidified pack, so I fired one up yesterday.... WOW! I will most likely order another pack, just based off of the first one!
