Over at the OMB3 place, their "super sampler" of 10 cigars for $15 is back. This deal goes on and off with the mix of cigars changing from time to time. Right now its "on" and includes the following:

1 - Cain F 550 (5.75 x 50)
1 - H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Robusto Larga (5 x 50)
1 - La Gloria Cubana Wavell Natural (5 x 50)
1 - Macanudo Hyde Park Café (5.5 x 49)
1 - Montecristo Platinum Toro (6 x 50)
1 - Nub Habano 460 (4 x 60)
1 - Oliva Serie G Churchill (7 x 50)
1 - Punch Rothschild (4.5 x 50)
1 - Rocky Patel Renaissance Maduro Robusto (5 x 50)
1 - Romeo y Julieta 1875 Robusto Larga (5.75 x 50)

IF (and only if) you are already ordering something else from them - that, preferably, includes free shipping as their ever changing daily/weekly/weekend deals always do - then this is not a bad add-on to your order. This sampler does not include free shipping on its own so if you got JUST this sampler, it would be an additional $8 - no longer such a good deal IMO. For me the current mix of cigars they have are worth the $1.50 each when not paying for shipping for the sampler -YMMV. I am stocking up for several events and parties where I have cigars on hand for both myself and others to enjoy and this sample is a pretty good one for the mix. You get a couple of milder ones for those that don't smoke often and moochers always love the "Big Name" handouts!

Only one sampler per order.

The catch, however, is that you cant' get to this deal directly on their web page (at least I can't). You have to find an internet ad and click on it or go to slickdeals and search "cigar super sampler" and this deal will be in the list. You have to go to the OMB3 site via the listed deal link (or an ad) to be able to put the super sampler to your cart, then you can add whatever other item(s) you were planning to get.

At least you don't have to do any shenanigans like a burner email address, you can log into your account after you have the sampler in your cart and everything works fine.

Chitty might be a bit harsh.
Then again, I wouldn’t pay $1.50 for any of those...

They are not incredible smokes, but all worth $1.50 if including shipping. And since I was ordering from them anyway (another box of Room 101 MC3 Roxxos!), was worth the add-on. Can't get much of anything for less than that even around here when shipping charges factor in.

The LGC Wavell is a very good cigar, the Cain is nice as well. I like the flavor of the Nub Habano although never cared for the size/style of the Nubs

I have always liked the series G when get them for under $2, but I - unlike a number of folks - enjoy Cameroon wrappers so maybe I would like the H.U. though never tried it.

Hyde Park is a perfectly fine morning-with-coffee smoke (yes, its CREAMY!!!!!!)

Punch, RP, RyJ -- all good for giving away or working in the yard, BBQ'ing etc.

Most likely with this batch, I will smoke the LGC and Cain myself, maybe try the H.U just to see, and watch the others get grabbed up at the parties from those reaching for the name and thinking I spent a lot more than I did on what I was handing out.

Perhaps I should save the Platinum for the annual membership meeting....

I wanted to like the HU but I hated it.

To me the Monte was kind of an air ball.

Am I wrong thinking that the Papi Chulo box of 50 is a much better deal?

Looks like while I was pissing around trying to figure out what to buy to get the free shipping, sampler deal disappeared. Was removed from my cart too.

Edit: I was able to find a link to the deal through Slickdeals and re-add it to cart. Weird....

I've been tempted to get a box of the Papis, but I like the Roxxos so much I just always wind up buying them instead.The Pappi is a lot smaller so not sure how much smoking time you get and if the flavor is much different.. If they still have the Pappi's when they run out of the Roxxos, I will try them for certain.

Finally tried one of the Roxxos I got a box of due to reading this thread and your post. Wow, very impressive. Thanks for turning me on to them!

Yeah one of my favorites. Not as amazing as the Cool Arrow, but close and less temperamental. They also last a long time for their size.... (Wait for it...)

Bump for a report on the Papi!

Man I am still loving the Roxxos. They are perfect size for taking a break in the middle of my day and the flavor is amazing.

(Did she say that, too?)

Ok, now that I just spent a half hour going to order some more, looking for them on every site I know (only 1 had them still), and educating myself on this offering, I'm pretty pissed off at you. That's a real prick move turning me onto an amazing smoke like this, only to figure out it's discontinued. Wow...

I did find some still available at the same place this thread was started about. Bought a box of Roxxos and Papi. Now that I know more, I will certainly go slow in burning these up.

Oh, and if you want more, I hope I bought the last 2 boxes and screwed you over. Herfing









(Kidding, of course. There still seem to be some available after my order.)

The Room 101 Farce Maduro Papi Chulo was really good. Lot's of coffee, chocolate, some spice with a semi-sweetness throughout. I might get a box of these.

Thanks for the update. I have a box on the way. You should hurry because I think we are near the end of the MC3 inventory.


Edit: Just realized you said Farce. I thought we were talking the MC3 offering. Good to know there's another solid stick I can try from these guys.

Ah mybad. I noticed the same vitola name so thought we were taking about the same. I've never had a MC3 but the Farce Maduro is good.
