Anyone ever smoked these? The local had two boxes of pyramids in the discount rack marked down from $485 to $185. The original price kinda shocked me. Are these THAT good? I think I've seen these being sold here or on another site and I never really looked at them because of the size.

I only had one. It was good.

I mean it was a good enough shpo $10 cigar.....Unfortunately, it wasn't a good $25 cigar, which is about what I paid

Well constructed, smooth flavor...nothing objectionable...nothing memorable other than the price

I'd buy at the markdowns price assuming that's for a 20ct box.

I've had a few, never a bad one, but never a great one.

Pretty much the same here.

Received one (Toro) in a sampler pack from a smoker event 6 years ago, waited a bit then smoked it. Was alright. BoilerEMT also gifted me a Toro right after that so I have one more to try.

Glad I decided to ask here first. I almost pulled the trigger. But the size and the $300 drop in price made me hesitate. That and the floor sales rep said something along the lines of they were the OpusX of their day.... Red flags went up all over the place when he said that.... Never saw an OpusX in the discount rack marked down that much. I'm gullible but not retar.... not stup..... umm let's just leave it there at I'm gullible.

I got a fiver of them on sale a few years ago.
I agree with most of the comments above . . . nice smoke, but nothing special.
There are other cigars I would rather pay the $10 for.

Huh.. There is also the Padron 80 years I think it is... the shpo was selling them at $40 per. When I asked the sales rep that I'm friendly with he just slightly shook his head and walked me over to the My Father area.... but I doubt those will ever end up in the discount bin... there were only 3 or 4 left in the open box so someone is buying them. Just won't be me. For $40 per smoke that thing better have a marching band and fireworks shooting out of my arse with every puff. Really drives home the point of the blind cigar review thread.

Recognize the reference or get your man card pulled.

BTW if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? It's the name, Corey Sellers, for some reason it bring's to mind a fresh, baby faced lad of 23. Fresh off the farm and in the big city for the first time on leave. Something about that name just screams little brother. I wanna protect ye laddybuck. You stay by your big brudder Celtic an it all 'll be alrigh! Ye got tha know'n of 'er now aye?

Corey, I think Animal Bomber is asking that- If you wrote Born to Kill on your helmet, would you wear a peace symbol on your uniform... or would that be a sick joke about the duality of man?

Or Keltic Mother... wait, WTF is your name?
