That is all.

Under 3/ea..........delivered.

I don't care for em.

heh heh...........maybe that's what they taste like fresh?

I wouldn't know, because I always let mine sit for a year or so.

Smoking some 2.5 year old ones now, and they are dang good.

Nor do I.

To each his own.

Rarely do they fall apart, rarely do they disappoint.

Can't say the same about many other snobish broadleafs out there that tend to unravel half way through on the golf course.

Everybody's tastes are different so if you don't like 'em you don't like em. Some very highly rated and beloved sticks out there I can't stand, but these for me are very flavorful and -as you noted - are great quality. For, for me, they even rival the V Milano's (which I do think are a bit better but not worth the huge price difference)

In all, OMBIII is a really good quality smoke that is good ROTT and improves with some age and that, for $2.99 including shipping, is a deal that can't beat. Find me another $3 cigar of this quality and I will buy it!

I like the Melanio's at the $5 price point for robs and $6-7 for torps and churchills. Anytime those show up at that price point, I usually buy some no matter how many I have in stock. I usually have enough on hand to where I don't need to purchase above that range.

One thing that this MB3 deal does for me (don't know if it's good or bad), is it makes me hesitate to buy more expensive broadleaf cigars because for me the MB3s are usually as good or better in most cases for my tastes.

I did a test one time this subject came up, where I smoked an MB3 followed by a Tat TAA 11 and a Tat 7th reserva. I didn't think the 7th was any better, but the TAA 11 was significantly better. In hindsight, I should have smoked one my MB3s that have some age on it to compare, as I think it would have been a closer battle with the TAA.

Anyway, I was just talking trash, cause that's what I do.

LOL: well they ain't that bad, BUT they ain't GREAT either! Can't touch Oliva V=p~ . At $3per they are a GOOD buy. For the usual $10+ per for the Churchill size not even close.

Wow! Al is all riled up! [gonzo]

He's right, of course.... =d>

i hear you, i shouldnt have jumped but i did. n the tuppedor is packed to the gils. i may have to start a long term mini fridge back up now and ditch the tupperdore

Just received a catalog from said company with the same price as the"flash", so they will be around for a while. =d>

Good point about the maduro/Sumatra distinction, but at this price (more than 50% cheaper even if you find a Melano discout) I'll take the OMB. Personally if take the price out of it, I like the Melano V torp the best and one of the best blendlabs ever was the Melano V prototype in torp which, at the end of the blendlab era were $1per at the Superstore. Still have quite a few in the coolador.
