Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,517
I've got a birthday coming up, and according to reports, that means I'll get an extra 10% discount (on top of my COTMC discount) for one day. So, help me plan a big order. Currently in the running:
Oliva Special S Diadema 7 X 48, Diadema, Sumatra, Box of 20
Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Churchill 7 X 48, Churchill, Natural, Box of 20
Rocky Patel Fusion Double Maduro Lancero, Box of 10
CAO CX2 Toro 6 X 54, Toro, Cameroon, Box of 20
Montecristo Serie C Toro, Toro, Cameroon, Box of 21
Montecristo Media Noche Churchill, Churchill, Maduro, Box of 20
Nub 464 (Torpedo), 464 (Torpedo), Cameroon, Box of 24
Cusano 18 Double Connecticut Toro 6.5 X 46, Box of 18 w/ Freebie
Graycliff Original Release (1997) Coronas Especiales 6 X 38, Sumatra, Box of 25
Arturo Fuente OpusX Perfecxion No. 5 4.88 X 40, Perfecxion No. 5, Natural, 5
Carlos Torano Cameroon 1916 Churchill 7 X 48, Box of 25
Carlos Torano Virtuoso Maestro 7 X 50, Maestro, Maduro, Box of 25
I can't afford to buy all of that, even with the discount. In the quantities listed, and not counting discounts, the above would total almost $2000. So here's your mission, should you choose to accept it: from the above, or using the above as a guide to be supplemented by your own suggestions, put together a ccom order that totals, say, $800, not counting discounts. In lieu of a 1000th-post contest, the person who posts the order I like the best (even if I don't use it verbatim) will receive a super sampler from my boffo birthday order.
While all the above (except the OpusX) are listed as boxes, you may vary quantities as you wish. You may also include non-smokable goods, as long as it's available from ccom.
Let's see what you got, peeps. Pimp my ccom order.

Intriguing list, Joe.
Some additional contest "rules":

You may modify your list as the contest progresses. When the week is up, I'll use the last list you posted.

I'll say this for your list, Dias: it has the advantage of brevity.

what no punch gran puro?
Ill put in my guess here soon -
Don't think of it as a guess. Think of it as a recommendation. The Punch Gran Puro might be an excellent recommendation.

Another good list.
The 18th.j0z3r:And when is your B-day urby, if you don't mind me asking? -
A tip regarding a couple cigars that have turned up on several lists so far: I'm pretty well stocked on Hemingways (though I've still never had a maduro) and Gurkha Titans.
Those of you who've made those part of your list may want to make a substitution. -
Ok, I'd substitue the Gurkha Titans for the Padilla Variety Sampler at 34.95 and the CAO America Four for the 4th Sampler at 30.95. This would put it slightly over the 800 mark.
-
Can you edit your last post, van, to include your complete new list? That'll help me find everybody's latest list when it comes time to pick a winner.
-
Done and Done. Sooo picky aren't we. Are you going to cry on your Birthday if it doesn't go your way. :P
-
What do you mean "if it doesn't go my way"? Why wouldn't it go my way? Mooooom, what's not going to go my way?!
-
I can picture it now. Next on MTV's my super sweet sixteenth birthday it is Urbino. His dad only got him the 40th anniversary Padron instead of the 80th.
Urbino: "That's it!!! The party is over"
Dad: "But son why??"
Ubrino: "I can't belive I have to explain it to you. Whatever!" -
AHAHAHA! I Love it.
-
Hey, if I'm the honoree on something called "MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteenth Birthday," I'm gonna be pissed if my gifts are cigars rather than something super-sweet and sixteen.

Good info, kuz. Thanks.
Nice list, Smoke. Those last 4 are singles, I gather? -
From what I've heard the Anejo is a much better stick than the Opus X. I have not had the pleasure of smoking either one, yet.kuzi16:
