80 Cigar Sampler?

Just curious if this is a dangerous move to try or not...

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

There's nothing in there you'll remember fondly. :2

Go for smaller samplers of better quality.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Some real crap tossed in there :2

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

That's kind of what I figured. They have a 40 cigars sampler:

Some of those look promising, I like the CAO's, 5 Vegas, and am anxious to try Diesel.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

yeah, I'd stay the hell away from that.

edit: The 80 cigar sampler. Haven't checked the other one yet. But I never buy big samplers like this. I normally see a bunch of dog rockets/yardgars, with a few decent sticks thrown in to help the entire sampler sell. Although I did not see ANYTHING in that 80 stick sampler that interested me.

Take that 100 bucks, and get a bundle of tampa sweetheart 500 maduros, and their Fuente Work of Art sampler:

At least, if I were spending a bill on NC sticks, that's probably what I'd go for right now. I do realize that's only 26 sticks instead of 40, but all 26 of these are great smokes.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Only catch with that is:

A: Not real into maduros like everyone else seems to be, definitely a Connecticut or Natural wrapper kind of guy.

B: Surprisingly wasn't a fan of the Hemingways, I was so excited to try them, then once I did I felt let down.

I'll post another 2 samplers I was looking to get in a sec..

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

I had looked at your profile, and said you were a Fuente fan, so I went on that.

I primarily smoke CC's, so I am a little lost with NC stuff anyways. Never had a Fuente that was bad.

Basically any 2 of those. I have had a good track record with the Padillas and 5 Vegas. The other is more of a variety, with the Virtue, which I like, the 5 Vegas.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

I know, it's ultimately my decision, just looking for General Advise.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

I am a big sampler fan. I started with many the type you are looking at and found none were worth the money. However, all I had to do was to step it up one more notch to get a desent sampler. The "mother load" samplers from CI. have all been worth the money. The 12 angry men sampler was another good one. CI and others all have great samplers just keep looking.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

I think this is a pretty solid sampler.

Also, I got a bundle of these recently and I think they're pretty good, especially for the money.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Go with this one :tu

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Also, the monster puts up all the weeks deals on fridays, you could make a pretty good sampler out of five packs for a hundred bucks.

You get free shipping anyways, and the promo code 'save20now' will get you 20% off $100.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Good advice.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Definitely go with smaller samples...that looks ok, but nothing worth :dr

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Yeah there's much better samplers out there. I'll see if i can find one for you.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

I'm not a fan of them either. I like most others but that one never did it for me.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

As others mentioned.:td Looks to me like they are trying to move some stagnant inventory.:2

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

that is like 1 big sampler of all the cigars I ever wasted my money on and regretted it

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

I would pass on this sampler as they are mostly turd trumpets...Churchill's are my least favorite size, and I am not a big fan of purchasing cigars from GurkhaInternational.com

Good luck!

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

CI's Motherlode and The Chosen One samplers contain some solid cigars. You're sure to find something in there that you like. The few good sticks you'd get in the 80 and 40 count 'poor boy' samplers aren't worth all of the crap that you'll have to put up with, though.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

"turd trumpets" lmao, haven't heard that one. Thanks thecatch83.

Anyway, yeah i wouldn't go for that sampler either. I'd recommend a much smaller sampler size.

Re: 80 Cigar Sampler?
 

Try a Graycliff red. Love them when I can find them on sale. I know that's not a sampler, but I'm just commenting on your preference for naturals and connecticuts.
