CI's weekly special is $40 per ammo box. They have two sizes (robusto and toro) and all 4 varietals available. This is a better price than they've been going at auction so I grabbed one of each. Plus only $9 for shipping the whole mess.

Get 'em before Rickmaven does 🙂

Good price - I got my box via auction at $43.

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! How long does this special last for? I'm so short on cash right now, it isn't funny, and I absolutely love the Bohemain Revolution (just had a Hawkeye the other day). I might be getting a job on campus soon. God, I hope I do and that this special lasts till then!

Oh...duh...it's this week. But I wonder when it ends, this week.

Anyway, I couldn't find this special on CI's website...what's the web address for it?

Ikon, it's good until next Thurs noon ET. It is an email only special. You have to sign up to receive them. I don't have the URL at home, but email me and I'll send it to you tomorrow.

If you find yourself short, we can work something out later since I bought a box of each and certainly don't need another 100 of these and 4 new ammo boxes.

Of the four different types...which one(s) do you guys recommend?

Whoo hoo, just ordered the Predator with ammo box in the Robusto size.
I haven't had the predator, but it is supposed to be really good. 🙂
I couldn't pass up that price. It was way too good.
Ikon, do yourself a favor and get hooked up on CI's mailing list.
https://www.cigarsinternational.com/ssl/accountLogin.asp  set up an account and you are on their mailing list. You won't be sorry. You would be amazed at some of the deals. Even cheaper than they go at auction for sometimes. 🙂

I never found the URL to purchase the sale, I just called them on the 800 number.

lvsmitty,
I bought the Predator, because I like cameroon wrappers.
This page,
http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=CS-VR&stext=Dos+Capas 
tells what wrappers are on what. It would all depend on your preferance.
Some folks prefer the sun grown and the hawkeye would probably be best for them.
Have fun.

I got the Hellfire Toro. The Hellfire are the strongest of the bunch. The Predator is second. X

X,
I take it you liked the predator?
This will be my first time trying one, but from all I could read on them, they sounded good to me. 🙂
Thanks.

I've had the Predator and Hawkeye so far.

The Predator is an awesome smoke. The Cameroon and Connecticut go sooooo well together and taste sooooo spicy and flavorful.

The Hawkeye I had with only a half-full stomach, and it kinda kicked my butt. If I have another one, I'll be sure to have it after a good meal.

Opatience,I like both the Hellfire and Predator. I won the Predator on CB. X

Thanks X,
I appreciate that.
I can't wait. The box should be here Monday. 🙂
From the sounds of it, I should like them.

Wow, they sold out fast. First time I went to buy, they were gone. Came back they had put up some churchills, so I got a box of the hellfire churchills. After reading all the favorable posts about them, I figured I should pickup a second box...boom they're all out again. I hope they dig up some more.

I missed out. Sucks to be me.

When I see a special on a smoke I've yet to try, I usually hesitate. I check out the bid numbers, I look at CI pricing, I even sometimes do an extensive search.

This time, I jumped first thing this morning when I read the email. Called at 8:30 am.
All the Hawkeyes were gone.
All the Toro sizes were gone.
Only the Robusto sizes remained so I got some Predators.
Told my coworker about the deal and by the time he logged on those were gone!

This has got to be record.
??

did someone say bohemian revolution? mag sent me one a while ago. these are my current collection, not countinbg the three boxes that should from the last auctio9n.

Rick,
Thank you very much for your offer.
I did, however, score an ammo box of the Predators in the Robusto size.
I failed to mention that in my post...

My target was the hawkeyes, and as I spoke with CI CS the inventory depleted before my eyes. I consider myself lucky.
I do appreciate your never ending generosity.
Peace.
