Just got my best score ever, or as far as I remember. I've gotten one here and there but NEVER thought I would have a whole box at one time, and, for what I paid for them I should have grabbed the others but didn't and by the time I got back to the seller, they were gone. I'm still kicking my ass!


The box of cigars?



Pepin Padilla 1932 Toros............... date code...... Mar 2007


What was yours so far?

Good score.

Mine was the original Padilla 1932 oscuro cigars and humidor for $500.00 even.

I once got twenty of these super-rare cigars (only 50,000 made) for thirty dollars!















































Actually, I won a box of Cuban Montecristo #2 off a friend in a drunk bet over who sang the song "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight."

I was too stoned during the 70's and 80's to remember.

What a great time

If I can get anything I'm looking for at a decent price - I consider that a score. No decent B&M within a 2hr drive.

We have a nice one 20 min from here. They have an OK selection but a killer lounge and great staff.

I have to say, though it was awhile ago, the two boxes of Short Run 2010 for $100 a box was one of my best steals yet.

Aiden, there will be lots more!

The real test is if you can smoke it or not.

Its easy when I've already blown my cigar budget out of the water...

ANd I won two fivers at 16?ish each a month or two ago so although the deal was epic, I have some on hand. Rather, had... they've all been sent out now.

Got a good deal on a box of Jericho Hill though, right around $100 I believe. Not the best it's sold for, but pretty darn good.

33 boxes of CC's for $850 at the Mexico City airport duty-free shop in 1993. Cohiba, Partagas, Montecristo, Punch, the works.
The customs guy at LAX never opened my duffel bags.

My wife. Best score ever. She's always been really cool with my cigar obsession and she is the best woman in the world.
I also scored a fiver of pre-revolutionary CC's from a certified source for $100. Smoked really good for such old cigars.

You mean to say that there are people in Mexico who would sell a gullible traveler from the states fake Cohibas? I didn't know that was possible. Shhh
