Aside from the merits of "Top Cigar" lists, this seems like a nice sampler, a good value and it covers a lot of territory. Comments?

I bought one, good gars at a good price.
-
Not a bad price but I strongly disagree with a few of them...IMO samplers are a waste once you know what you like...buy what you know is good and you can always trade and barter for what you want too try
-
if you are looking to try a lot of new sticks its a great sampler. The price is very attractive also! wait, how come i haven't ordered this yet...oh yea, andy isnt at work until tomorrow.

Keeping in mind that I'm still at the "learning what I like" stage, wouldn't you still keep ordering samplers and 5ers to try new things?Lee.mcglynn:Not a bad price but I strongly disagree with a few of them...IMO samplers are a waste once you know what you like...buy what you know is good and you can always trade and barter for what you want too try -
i always have a soft spot for fivers!! But some on the list IMO are things they are having trouble moving. Take for instance the ab family blend...IMO a sub par smoke others may like it but for a top something these shouldn't be close! Ccom has much better stuff in that rangeRain:

Isn't that the give and take with samplers though? You get a padron 64 and a dc max for $4 per, but you have to pay $4 per for a macanudo and the ab family? Those cigars end up in troop packages or given to my mooch friends who don't know better, but I get the good stuff at a deep discount.Lee.mcglynn:

it pretty much is but there were some great samplers that maybe only one wasn't up too par. I guess I don't think of it as money more or less as the space and well if you don't like most of them then it's more then $4 a stickbrianetz1:

Was it biased? Could you taste the bias?Rain:I bought one, good gars at a good price. -
I always recommend the CCom awards samplers to new smokers. The 2011/12 ones were excellent as well. Ordering samplers is the way to get started brother.PAtoNH:Aside from the merits of "Top Cigar" lists, this seems like a nice sampler, a good value and it covers a lot of territory. Comments?

Any "Best of" with a Sancho Panza is definitely biased in some way.catfishbluezz:

Don't bro me, bro.I've never had a Sancho...haha, that's funny to type. Anyways, they seemed like an upper class yard gar to me, at least from what I read.

Have you had a Dirty Sancho????Rain:Don't bro me, bro.I've never had a Sancho...haha, that's funny to type. Anyways, they seemed like an upper class yard gar to me, at least from what I read. -
Guess I need to send you one to try.....Rain:Don't bro me, bro.I've never had a Sancho...haha, that's funny to type. Anyways, they seemed like an upper class yard gar to me, at least from what I read. -

But to speak to the sampler; there's lots I'd try but enough I don't want I considered calling and seeing if I could modify this and get a half sampler or something. Still thinking about it.

speaking if turds someone tried too give Me a raji the other day lmao he really didn't know any better! I told him keep it for yourself I have plenty of sticksRain:That's fine, because I have some Zodians and Victor Sinclair. Just sayin. -
UPPER CLASS YARD GAR <- I may be stealing this term..Rain:Don't bro me, bro.I've never had a Sancho...haha, that's funny to type. Anyways, they seemed like an upper class yard gar to me, at least from what I read. -
I'm going with no...I'm sure the ones you don't want others don't as well...this is a way of getting rid of themMartel:But to speak to the sampler; there's lots I'd try but enough I don't want I considered calling and seeing if I could modify this and get a half sampler or something.

There are so many new options… as a guy who "cut his teeth" in the Lew Rothman/JR days, there is much to discover. In the last 6 months I've tried more new smokes than in the previous 20 years. It's eye opening.catfishbluezz:

what is the point of this post?
arfe you trying to start something?
are you looking for something?
did HW piss you off that much?
or did I?
i assure you that i dont think you are biased. you could at least LOOK at the PM i sent you. -
Looks like an awesome sampler. The 601 La bombs is awesome as well as the D crown. I've burned most of them..if they had some more maduros in the mix of already have em on the way.PAtoNH:Aside from the merits of "Top Cigar" lists, this seems like a nice sampler, a good value and it covers a lot of territory.

Good sampler I guess, but also a great way to sell some cigars we see all the time....see: Bueso, Park Ave, AJ's stuff, Son of Anarchy...but I guess it is a business. Some very good sticks there as well, and a good price. It was said as ia joke I think, but I do think this is a list biased list in favor of "good business", but if we get a good deal in the process----all is well.

I agree with these guys ^^^^^Vulchor:Good sampler I guess, but also a great way to sell some cigars we see all the time....see: Bueso, Park Ave, AJ's stuff, Son of Anarchy...but I guess it is a business.

If you haven't tried (m)any of those, great way to get a variety of new smokes and it works out to under $4/each.
Aside from the "best value" category (which you can find those brands for under $3/each if you look around) .... I think $4 for the rest of the cigars ranges from "fair price" to "hell-of-a steal".
I've only had 2 of the cigars in this "sampler" --- hope to pick it up sometime in the future.
