NC $1000 spree
 

It has been a while since we've had one of these, so let's try it. You know you want to. After all, you already window shop at the online cigar retailers. In fact, you have "shopping carts" with cigars in them at more than one vendor.

So, you have exactly $1000 that your wife said you could spend on cigars, what would you get? (this is only non-Cuban cigars) Yes, it is exactly $1000 - no more than that. (We'll assume that an order over $500 automatically gets free shipping, so do worry about that.

Why $1000?

"If you go over...," your wife says, while expertly sliding the butcher knife over the sharpening steel, and walking from the room.

So, what would you get?

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

I would buy something that I know will sell to get my $1,000 back, and then turn around and buy a nice box or two of nice aged/limited CC's. :)

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Here is a quick one......

Tatuaje Reserva J-21 (25/Box)

Tatuaje Regios (25/Box)

Illusione 88 - Robusto - (25/Box)

E.P. Carrillo Elencos Series Don Rubino Robusto (20/Box)

LAT 52 (15/Box)

Tatuaje Reserva 7th (25/Box)

Surrogates Tramp Stamp (20/Box)

Illusione Maduro mj12 Toro Gordo Singles X 10


Arturo Fuente - Don Carlos - #2 Singles X 2


Total:

$996.00


Would have worked in a box of Don Carlos Double Robustos in there, but they were out of stock. Would have dumped the singles and Tramp Stamp or LAT52's.....but easily could have made it work if they were in stock.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Easy. Four boxes of Padron 1926 #35.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

I know this skirts the spirit of what you are asking, Todd, I am with Ryan. :)

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

If you guys don't want to play, then don't. :fu :D

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Todd, I don't know what you like hese days but I'd get me some Anejos nd some LP 9s. Of course I do agree with Tom if you want to build up the cc collection, I would.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

What he said... :tu

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

However many viaje skull n bones mystery release, and some viaje holiday blend as well. Then I'd sell most of them off, pick up a few boxes of cce's, and forget about them for 5 years.

But, I seldom find myself craving an nc.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Illusiones, Tatuajes, Viajes, LPs.. Pretty much in that general viscinity. Too lazy to make a full on list, especially since I'd probably get them from various sources. :-D

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

I would buy 1 1/3 His Majesty's Reserve.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

+1 :tpd:

Re: NC $1000 spree

Re: NC $1000 spree

for a total of $1000

At least, that is what I'd like to order at this particular moment. It might change in a day or two... or in the next couple hours. This is more of a 'bang for your buck' list.

Were I wanting to get fancy, then I might substitute some things.
$250 8 Padron 80th
$100 20 Quesado Tributo Alvaritos (both substituted for the Quesados & the Coronados above)

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Note- a lot of these prices are box deals, it seems like everytime I ask my local shop to look up a box price of something it's always $150 and that's tax included, the first 3 I list were actual purchases I've made in the past that I'd like to reorder.

Tatuaje El Triunfador Lanceros (new release) -$150

Room 101 Namakubi Sucio -$150

AVO Heritage Toros- $150

My Father El Hijo- 146.25

AF Anejo #77- $205

7 tins of Papas Fritas- 165.55

Whatever is left over will go toward taxes and delivery

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Sharks for $205! WHERE!?

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

Holts, that's what I paid for them at their Fuente Mania event they have every September, I'm pretty sure boxes go for 115 not at the event, thats why I stock up in sept.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

$1000 worth of Nubs 'cause they start right at the sweet spot. :)

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

I'd buy a box each of my three favorite NCs:

La Flor Dominicana Coronado Corona Gorda
Illusione 4/2g
Tatuaje Reserva J-21

and spend the rest on singles of sticks I haven't tried yet.

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

PLus 8%
222.00 at Holts

Re: NC $1000 spree
 

I never thought I would say this, but I would find out what's hot (i.e. Papas Fritas, Le Tats, Ligas, and I would turn around, and sell them to buy ISOM's... I probably have
a 10-15yr NC stash were i to smoke a few daily, but I have crossed over... Smh

Re: NC $1000 spree

2 boxes Padron 1964 Exclusivo Maduro - $560
