Happy birthday to me!
 
Yes, it's my birthday.

Girlfriend want's to buy me a box of cigars, says her budget would be around 60-70 dollars. I've been looking around and really can't find much for that that I would be interested in. Since I am not buying, I think it would be nice to get a 5er of something that I normally wouldn't ever pay for.

So what are some high end 5 packs that I am just not thinking of? :D

I prefer medium full or full bodied sticks. -(P

Tat Anarchy's, Tat Fausto's, Viaje WMD, S & B's, or you can buy three fivers of 601 Blues off cigarmonster right now for 17.98 each.

What have you smoked in the past and enjoyed in that price range/profile? That might help in providing suggestions.

I think you can still get a box of 20ct. 601 Blues for around that price range....happy birthday!

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
I think around $75 you get could get a box of LGC. I found a few nice deals for boxes of good sticks that might meet your taste profile in the ci and famous catalog that just got sent.
Oh and Happy Birthday

5 pack of FFP might do the trick.

TBH the most expensive stick I have ever had was just a Liga Privada No9... I liked it a lot. :D

In that price range, my experience is extremely limited. My price range is more or less 4-5 dollars a stick or less.

You could get a box of Brick House or Gran Habano. Or you could get frisky and get a handful of some Liga or other more expensive cigars.

:hb

You can find a ton of boxes in that range. Hit the sites and look at sales of specials. Or treat yourself. I just picked up a six year aged tin of OPUSX's for well under the said budget and I love them ALOT!!!! It was a great treat and I still have two for other special occasions.

Oh yea....Happy birthday mang.:tu

Happy Birthday!!!

If you are interested, I'm doing a box split of Tat Cojonu 2012 in GB/splits subforum. They are suppose to be some mighty fine sticks!

Otherwise, any Tat, LP, or Viaje would be nice! The J21 might be a little much (isn't that like really full-bodied/ spicy?)

Happy Birthday Derrick! It's my birthday today too (33). Go to the Devil site and find some fiver you wouldn't normally buy due to price.

Better yet, find some FOG who's willing to sell you a fiver from the bottom of some forgotten about coolidor.

I loved the J21. It had a mild spice, but not too much. Very smooth.

Happy Birthday, Derrick!!! :tu
I'd go with a fiver of Anejo's or PAM 64 principes or monarcas. Probably the latter.

I think someone was selling Viaje samplers in the WTS section. If I hadn't blown my budget already I would have been all over it.

ashtonlady 03-30-2012 01:33 PM

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
I vote for Padron annivasarios.

Adriftpanda 03-30-2012 01:33 PM

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
The WTS forum might be a good idea as well.

dwoodward 03-30-2012 01:44 PM

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
I was looking online at Famous Smoke and saw I could get a couple 5 packs that interested me. Both were 66 dollars.

5x Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro Diplomatico

The other

1x Liga Privada No. 9
1x Liga Privada T52
1x Liga Privada Dirty Rat
1x Liga Privada Feral Flying Pig
1x Liga Privada L40

Both seem like a good deal to me, but I am not sure tbh. Can you find these cheaper anywhere?

After looking around, I would probably like to try some Padrons, the whole Liga line, or maybe a few sticks of Opus. Not sure yet. Still shopping around, I have all day to decide lol.

Pseudosacred 03-30-2012 01:45 PM

That Liga sampler is a great deal

It's not really a sampler, its just buying 1 of each stick at normal price... :tu

I couldn't find a Liga Sampler.

And actually now that I looked at it again, they all show as unavailable... The image didn't come up for me the first time I guess.

That sucks. haha.

jluck 03-30-2012 01:50 PM

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
Are they actually in stock? So you are looking for VERY full body and strong cigars?

Pseudosacred 03-30-2012 01:51 PM

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
Oh, alright. I thought you had found a sampler with those in it...that would have been cool!

pektel 03-30-2012 01:53 PM

If it were me, I'd probably tell my gf to get these:

http://tampasweetheart.com/?page=sho...aa94021725aac&

Or an illusione sampler from newhavanacigars

Happy Birthday!

Are the Liga's very strong? I didn't find the No 9 to be very strong, but it's the only one I have had. I found it kinda a Medium-Full. Good flavor tho.

I was just looking at a illusione sampler from that site. I don't know enough about illusione tho, nor the vendor.

Yeah, they're all on the very strong side, from what I've read...everywhere. I have an FFP in my humi. Planning a trip to Olive Garden before I torch it :tu

I've always had great experiences with the vendor. Every Illusione I've tried has been awesome, so I don't think you can lose with any of the samplers. I'd almost be tempted to just get a fiver of MK's are the HL lancero.

James at Burn has a nice Skull and Bones sixer for sale right now in this range. (952) 808-9259. He usually has no problem shipping stuff out.

Happy Birthday!

LP is on the strong side, NO9 isn't as strong as the t52 or FFP but can still give you quite a kick if you aren't prepared for it. I've only had 2 FFPs but both times I ended up 2/3 through it, knowing I had reached my nicotine limit but unable to put it down. Love LP

big pete 04-04-2012 08:08 PM

Re: Happy birthday to me!
 
Happy bday! I'd vote some PAMs or LP sampler
