CI Joe Cigar Deals- Do You Buy 'Em?

bilkay · 01-10-2009, 04:30 PM

Since I see the occasional complaint here (and elsewhere) about the Cigars International specials, I'm interested in how many of us buy them. I'd also like to hear details of your experiences with the cigars, whether positive or negative.

I haven't bought a Joe's deal in many months, but I have never had any complaints with the ones I have bought. I had to vote No, because I don't see myself ever buying one again, as my tastes have changed and I now favor the dark side.

(sort of)

I voted yes. While I currently find myself exploring the dark side and haven't bought from Joe in some time, if I saw a great deal on Joe for NC that I know I love then I would jump on it. It would have to be something pretty great though like VSG's or El Centurions (I have seen VSG's on CigarMonster in the past before someone says "those smokes would NEVER be on Joe). I've bought from Joe a number of times with ZERO complaints to this point.

I have on occasion

duckmanco · 01-10-2009, 04:47 PM

I've pulled the trigger on the Joe cigar deals 3 or 4 times, the ITSF Corona maduro for peanuts, the DPG Blue Generosos for roughly 50% off, and CI legends RP line for cheap. When I factored in free shipping, these deals were really tough to beat.

stevieray · 01-10-2009, 04:51 PM

I haven't in a while....but if they throw some Padrons up on there I'll buy 'em all.

DMK · 01-10-2009, 04:58 PM

I would if I could, but I can't so I won't....

(they won't ship to Canada)

zmancbr · 01-10-2009, 05:04 PM

I used to jump on those deals all the time, but I have been into CCs more than NCs lately so I quit checking them everyday. Every now and then they have good deals on good smokes though. And it is a great way to get some samplers at cheaper prices.

They don't ship to Europe either, but that hasn't stopped me. Inmates enough who are willing to forward.

on topic: I ordered Joe's deal once or twice.

JohnnyKay5 · 01-10-2009, 05:19 PM

very hit or miss. Mose are natural wrappers and not my taste. Don if you wanna order something let me know i'll play middle man for ya!

I've never bought one of the Joe deals, but I wanted to when they had JJ Maduros that were damn near free.

5'er for $19 + ship was my latest Devil site purchase!! Beats the chit outta the $8.50 per I pay locally!

RevSmoke · 01-10-2009, 08:09 PM

I have gotten a couple of deals - weekly, daily, weekend.

I haven't had a reason to complain yet.

14holestogie · 01-10-2009, 08:34 PM

I usually jump on one or two a month, mainly for the free shipping along with my everyday smokes. Jambalaya usually if you're there at the right time you can get some awesome deals on product you don't usually see on sale. Got 3 samplers a month or two back for $13 / fiver including such gems as an RP Decade, a couple of Edges, Sun Grown, 5 Vegas Cask strength, etc. Where else are you going to find sticks like that for under $3 a pop? The free stuff with a minimum order is also a nice touch. I don;t seem to have a problem hitting the minimum.

Since I'm mostly a NC smoker, I stop by Joe's deal almost everyday just to see what's up. On Jambalaya days I check constantly. You never know what great deal you're gonna just miss.

Give me a 1/2 box deal from Joe with a 5 pack maddness sampler piggybacked for good meassure and I'm a happy guy!

smokin5 · 01-10-2009, 08:45 PM

When it's on, it's REALLY on.
Purchased many a 10-pack of the Don Pepin Garcia Black Label 1979 Robustos (31.95/10).
Picked up Trinidad Robustos at $20.00/8 pack.

I know there have been others, but it escapes me at the moment.
They run so many different deals at CI, it's hard to remember which was which.

RGD. · 01-10-2009, 09:35 PM

One time and one time only so far. But I always check prices.
