thanks bro!

Re: Est. 1844
 

Although it seems $22.50 seems to be the lowest I'm seeing now.

Re: Est. 1844
 

thats still a good buy.........

Re: Est. 1844
 

Question-are people just not letting these fall for less than $22.50 or is it set up by CI that they won't let it go below that level? Just curious...

Re: Est. 1844
 

It's a CI set point.

Re: Est. 1844
 

That's why my confusion-I saw your post earlier mentioning near $20, so I thought I was missing something.

Re: Est. 1844
 

22=near 20 in my mind. I think it went down to 21.70 before I posted. The bottom price will fluctuate too.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Your the only one that has bought them so far....

Re: Est. 1844
 

I decided to pull the trigger cuz $2-3 more total was worth me being more productive doing other things.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Just bought another 10 pack of the 50's for $22.00 even (shipped). Last night when I was putting my 50 extras in my ammodor, I thought to myself that I need to regular 50's to fill the bare space on the tray at the other end. They should fit perfectly.

Catching up to you Jared.........

Re: Est. 1844
 

You know you're batcrap crazy when you buy cigars just to make other cigars fit better in the humi. I've done this. :lr

Re: Est. 1844
 

I don't think you want a competition do ya? I haven't even posted everything I have bought.;)

and lets see some pics of the ammodor.(full)

Re: Est. 1844
 

I was just messing with ya, I know you have far more cigars than I do!

I'm working on filling the ammodor, it might be a while yet.


Hey, did CI ever get back to you on your box purchases?

Re: Est. 1844
 

Yes and I am currently waiting on a decent resolution. There customer service is not what I expected as others describe. I am still giving them benefit of the doubt.

Re: Est. 1844
 

whats the last you heard from them?

Re: Est. 1844
 

They still don't have full boxes but lots of singles, fivers and ten packs available....:hm

BTW....Yesterdays goodies.

Re: Est. 1844
 

whats clear on the right?

Re: Est. 1844
 

I will PM to avoid ruining a good thread.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I am going to try one of those 1844 this weekend Jared. They had a few weeks to relax.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I have smoked one of every vitola from the batch yours came out of and they have been just fine for the last week or so....damn good actually.:tu

just burned a 58 too. Mmmmmm

Re: Est. 1844
 

Good to know. Thanks again.

Re: Est. 1844
 

These caught my eye for some reason when I saw them. Guess I need to get a 5 pack and try them out.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Jared, I got a response out of CI.

I had asked them how long before they get some more in.

"It's really hard to say, we have many orders that have yet to be filled by our supplier. Boxes of 50-xtra and 54 are on our docks now and should be in early next week. What specific size were you looking for?"

Get on the phone and get them 50 extras or 54's heading your way buddy.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I technically won 50's but I like the bigger vitolas better and they said they will substitute.
Thanks Josh

Re: Est. 1844
 

Just smoked a 54 today. I forgot how good these are. i only have 2 left so hopefully they get some more in.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I had the 54 last night. I enjoyed it. Good smoke. Had a tight draw, it seemed in the start and end.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Did you try cutting a little more off from the cap area to see if that helped?

I didn't have any draw issues with mine at all..........:confused:

Re: Est. 1844
 

I did not. It was great for more than it wasn't. I will keep it in mind.

Re: Est. 1844
 

If you were in the Rolodex you would not have this problem.;). I have the latest issue of the Est. 1844 informational guide if you want to read up on them Scott.
Send address.:tu

Re: Est. 1844

got them 50's to fill in my small space.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Wasn't impressed at all with the ones I've had. Glad I didn't pay much for them. Good yard gars.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I have 17 50 extras and 5 54's on their way thanks to cbid

Re: Est. 1844
 

I'm with Kevin on this one. I enjoyed the first one I had, albeit, nothing to write home about. Revisited these this morning, the 6X50, and must say I was unimpressed. Flavors seemed to be "muted". Maybe I was just expecting more...who knows?

Re: Est. 1844
 

I have noticed big differences in these. One will be great the next will be a bit flat. I have always prefaced my love of these with "for the price". I do think there great for the dollar each (maybe two dollars sometimes) that I give for them. Also the last few shipments seems less exciting than the first ones I got, Maybe different harvest or time might actually do these a favor. Either way I will do my duty as a BOTL and smoke many more in the name of research of coarse. ;)

Re: Est. 1844
 

I just had one of these (50 xtra) this afternoon, and I can't say that I was impressed. It felt like it was fairly loosely rolled, and it's draw was very easy. It tasted fairly sweet, and I think that I could make out caramel and cocoa. I really had to be careful not to draw too fast, or it got hot and a bit harsh.

Not a bad smoke, but nothing great. I might let the remaining sticks sit for a few months and see if they improve.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I think i just smoke a No.50 but it did not have a band on it.. very nice smoke

Re: Est. 1844
 

I just got done with No.52

I need to get me a box of some 1844's just can't decide on what size.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I think the 50 is my favorite

Re: Est. 1844
 

I think I liked the 52 over the 50.. I'll have to try them both again.... hehe

Re: Est. 1844
 

Do they make one smaller than the 50?

Re: Est. 1844
 

No.. I do not believe.. and I lied..

I like the 52 and 54. I not big on the shorts.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I prefer 50 extra and 52's FWIW.

Let me know what size you want garry, We could do a trade....;)

Re: Est. 1844
 

Got a box of 58s cheap and they've just been sitting for a while. Saw this thread and decided to fire one up. Decent enough for the price point but cant touch my favorite el cheaply. Just not much too it.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I think a lancero would be amazing. The #50 was the first box of cigars I ever bought. Great smokes for sure.
