I have a Coolador full of these, these are the smokes I have`nt had time to try. Its seems that I wind up with so many of these thru trades and specials on C-bid that they get tossed in the have`nt had time to try cooler.

There are just to many cigars to try.

Every time I get together with the guys to herf I grab a bag of a hundred or so and put it out on the table, we call it the grab bag, if you see one you have`nt tried, just grab one.

I spend most of the day trying out all the different smokes that are in this bag. Hence looking for one I like.

Do any of you do the same thing?

Do you talk with your friends and trade what you don`t like for ones that you do?

Do you send the ones that don`t float your boat to the troops?

Let the trading begin... 🙂

WT,

I know what you are saying. I bought a few boxes intending to send em to the troops due to the incredible deals I got on Cbid. But um a couple of those have turned into my day to day staple LOL.

Brocatus being one of them.

I would be more than happy to throw together a 5er or so of the "cheap smokes" that I have in trade for a 5er of your cheap smokes.

EM me at jwilmot AT kc DOT rr DOT com.

I bought a box of the Peterson GR's when they were on special. I've gifted several out. Just tried my first last week. Was a little disappointed. So I moved the box to the bottom of my cooler intending on trying another one in a couple of months.

I could probably trade a couple of you to try if you want mikey. I also have a Tierra Del Sol (by Perdomo), which some people may like. I do not. Had 2-3 gifted to me, think I still have at least one.

I take the cigars that others gift me, and take them to work for my nightly smoke.

That way, if its less than I anticipated, I don't worry about it.

Cheaper smokes, I don't gift to others even if they were gifted to me.

One Brother (well respected around these parts) gifted me some that I never would've bought, but that gave me a disclaimer of "these are cheap, but if you try one, you'll find that they aren't bad smokes".

Alas, I still haven't tried them, but I will soon.

I have gifted, to OPFTH, smokes that I bought and didn't care for.

I've also given them smokes that I do like.

I will have to look and see if I have one of those Todo`s, give it a try and see if they are worthy enough to send to the Cigar Man. 🙂

I've found a few of the cheapies that have become my everyday smoke. Some have also found their way to the bottom of my humi to be "Relocated" later....

I'll usually set aside a certain number of sticks of each box I buy for the troops. Consequently, I'll set aside a greater number of the cheaper sticks to send to the troops. But I'll never send anything I wouldn't smoke myself on a daily basis.

You guys know that I'm the purveyor of cheap sticks. And I'll always include at least one "cheapie" with a hit or smack, just on the off chance that someone may try it and like it.

I know that I was often apprehensive of trying cheap cigars, mainly because they were cheap and I assumed they sucked. Lately I've been trying every cheapie bundled cigar I come across, and find that some of these are genuinely good sticks.

By the way, someone had better get to diggin their bomb shelters right quick. The missile is just about ready to be launched.

I have a tub full of smokes that every once in a while I clean out the bottom of and find cheapies I forgot I even have.

A few of the cheaper sticks become regular choices, many become hitchhikers on bombs to noobs.

The reaaaalllly bad ones go in the trash - But I have only done that with two bundles in the last 5 years.
