Yep! $19.95 including 5 P2 yellow bands. This one has a lighter with it. Not sure if the Bowman is worth the extra dollars, but then that is what an auction is all about.

I imagine these are going at a premium because of the Perdomo Reserves that come with it as opposed to the Perdomo 2's in the special (the Reserves are much better IMO). I actually bought one of each at the time of the special and got the Reserves + Otterbox for $25.

Got mine with the red label Perdomo reserves and the Bowman for $19. I've not tried the Perdomos, yet and I think I gave one away recently. I've not been a fan of the Perdomos in the past, but the case was what I was after really.

jd1 - the Perdomo reserves are a damn good smoke, just dry box them a little before you smoke them and they should burn alright...

Try one before you give anymore away!!

Will do cw; every Perdomo in this series I've had seemed to be wound too tight, but maybe dry-boxing is the answer. I'll give it a shot.

Not to threadjack but.......
I've been very dissappointed with the Perdomo Reserve #4 maduros. They're packed way too tight; drybox or not. The maduro X's that I've got and all sizes of the rosados have been fine; very good in fact.

THL - I love the X Maduro, I have a box resting and another that has about 1.5 yrs on it, they definitely get better with age!!

cwilhelmi, it's seems to be only the #4 maduro that I have trouble with. The rest are wonderful smokes.

I like the 4s. Maybe you just got a tight batch?

My 4s and Xs have both been too tight.

I recieved the special blowout with the Perdomo2's. The smokes alone are below retail. I feel like I got a great deal!
