these are the robbies.

thinking about a bundle/25 under $3 ea shipped.

any opinions, and could bundles be different than boxes? I actually believe I have noticed this in the past.

Never had a bad cigar from Matt Booth.........so there’s that.
And, my quick research says more like them than not............so, with the freebie, free ship and sales price?
Why not....

I'm a Matt fan as well...….the only question I have is the Honduran wrapper.I've just never been a big fan of Honduran tobacco,but that being said I've never had a bad Room 101 cigar.This is quite the conundrum

my new M.O. is buy a box a couple times a year, a five or tenski here and there, a handful from the B&M once in a while, and smoke 'em.
It's box time, these are under 70 for 25 shipped, I've liked other Room 101's, they come with some "freebie" (prolly a hat or bad lighter).

Should I worry about the quality of a bundle? Same smokes in a box are 79, still not bad, and I don't need a hat...

I absolutely loved the farce.

I don't know. about the box bundle thing. I wouldn't think so, but who the hell knows.

I found this on the internets....if you want the link, pm me, but it really doesn't have much more to offer....

BUNDLES
Bundles are a sort of no-package packaging, of anywhere from 10 to 50 cigars. Bundles have been around for decades and are still very popular today. Because the cost of a box is not factored into the price, the cigars can typically be sold for less. While bundled cigars are not always considered top-of-the-line smokes, quality and value are emphasized. Bundles are great when you need a lot of cigars for a big group of casual smokers. A number of our best customers, including many seasoned connoisseurs, are bundle fanatics.

Got a bundle of Padrons from the now sister site a while back, was nervous but the price couldn't be resisted and they were the best Padrons I've had. Super Yello cello! Only wish I got more. Still have one left that is saved for a bombing event to come. As a result I watch for premium bundle offerings in hopes past performance is indicative of future results

It was an email only offer from Thompson's about 8-10 months ago if I remember correctly they were also offering bundles of casa Fernandez which I didn't get. Haven't seen anything like that before or since but I've been looking ever since

3000. The one remaining of the bundle rests with the other 3000s and don't need to label/separate as it's so Yello I can spot it a mile away. I've wondered if there are possible negative factors that could have caused that such as sweating/condensing, sunlight exposure or something other than age and oil transfer. I did confirm I liked them better, smoother , more retrohale flavor as I was going back and forth between the Yello bundle and the regular price box every day till there was just a few left as a science experiment

Well there are some who swear if you “age” the 000 series Maduros 3+ years, you end up with a PAM64...

Others say that’s utter nonsense.
I think it’s nonsense.
BUT, in my experience, the 000 series Maduro line DOES improve a LOT with a good nap of a few years.
I’ve done this comparison with Londres, Delicias and the 2000 Maddie’s, and the improvement is amazing.
(but they ain’t 64s.....)
