I have taken a break from buying Cuban cigars, damn prices are stupid high. I am currently stocking up on non-Cuban favorites. In the last 3 weeks I have picked up Boxes of:

Ashton VSG Sorcerer

Ashton VSG Belicoso #1

A. Fuentes WOAM

CAO Cameroon Perfecto

And CAO Brazillia Samba.

What have Y'all been pulling the trigger on?

Cheap ceegars 🤔

The CAO Cameroon perfectos, were pretty cheap, but after having one, they are a whole lot better than I expected. At the price point, of less than $4 a stick, after shipping and taxes. I will be buying more. Tasty little 30-45 minute smokes.

Last two were a full round of Rojas Breakfast Tacos. All 3 wraps, 30 each.

And

A box of Melanio Maduro robustos.

Real talk, never purchased a box. Always gotten samplers because I am still trying to explore preferences. Also, for some reason, I feel like boxes are always more expensive than a 20 stick sampler. Any reason why?

CH Le Careme Canonazo

Dunbarton Mi Querida Short Gordo Grande

In short, the box is the difference.

I have heard (not sure if it is true) that the “best” cigars are boxed.

The ones not quite up to snuff, are made into fivers, tenskis, and possibly bundles for lower end stuff.

And of course, you are getting a box, and some are quite nice, others more basic……….but still a box.

My most recent three are

Fuente Mag R R44

RomaCraft CroMagnon Aguitaine Mode 5

Warped Chinchalle

All bought a couple months ago. I haven't smoked any of the Fuentes or Aquitaines yet. Letting them sit while I smoke through other stuff. Gonna start breaking 'em out soon though.

CAO Flathead Steel Horse Handbrake (Robusto)

Sneaky rich, earthy taste, and at $3.75 per stick, a decent value,

I've purchased 50+ boxes over the past 3 months.

3 boxes of New World

10 boxes of Oliva Melanio figurado

5 boxes of Oliva 135th Anniversary

2 boxes of Montecristo Media Noche No. 2

6 boxes of La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor belicoso

5 boxes of Le Careme Pastelitos

5 boxes pf Padron 1926

6 boxes of boutique type cigars from DROP, Ezra Zion and others

Single boxes of various other 90+ and 95+ rated cigars, including Padron 1964, Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig and La Flor Dominicana Oro Chisel Tubos to make up the rest.

Toss in all the 20, 10 and 5 pack bundles along with single cigars from CBid and other places, I've spent about $18,000 since June.

Compare that with all of last year, I only spent about $7,500 - and the years prior about $2,500 each year.

Edit: I need to take a photo of everything I have. I highly doubt I'll ever possess this many cigars at one time for the rest of my life.

Do you smoke cigars for a living?

Holy chit Batman! [gonzo]

Iffin’ it was me, I’d be so busy inputting info into my spreadsheet I’d have a hard time finding the time to smoke them! Fo’ sure there’ll be some accidental aging…unless, of course, you smoke 10+ cigars a day!

Latitude Zero Signature toro-----price was right

Bought the Oliva melanio 6 sampler…hey it comes in a box!

La Floridita. At $65 a box, probably out of most peoples price range. But when you are a a kang, you do kang things.

Love the ability to hide someone’s posts.

I wish. However, being retired, wherever I go and whatever I'm doing, I'm enjoying a cigar along with it. But that's never more than six cigars per day - most often four cigars per day.
