			Got to be a cigar with one of the most laborious names in smokedom: Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo El Martillo. Love the zesty dark corojo wrapper on this emphatic cigar in my fave shape 5.5 x 54. And the box's sturdy Drew Estate construction of heavy wood is a bonus. The boxed cigars i've nabbed at cigarbid do not have cello. But the 10-packs do. No matter as I have quit smoking cellophane. Cannot get enuf of this wonderful cigar.

			Tough call...  But if I was pinned down, probably a blind purchase of some OR DPG Centurion Robos(G').  Got them super cheap from Holts, which adds to the bonus.  Close 2nds, HUp Mag 48's or some JL2's('08-'09?'s) that I split, that smoked like graham crackers.

			Most satisfying, probably my first box purchase. Monte #2, I remember the day the box came in, I was so juiced up that it even went on a car ride with me to the store.

  My most satisfying boxes purchased I can only narrow down to three: 05 PLPC A little under a half cab o 04 HdM DC A ten count box of 04 Sig VI All were purchased from a private seller getting out of the hobby back in 2010ish. Also got a fiver of 05 CCE's, and a fiver of bandless cc's (3 of which im pretty darn sure are/were p lonsdales). I spent a lot of money that month. But TOTALLY worth it.

			Wow, that's tough. My first box was a box of Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Maduros in 1980 - yummy stuff. Then a box of Punch Super Rothschilds - 1991. Recently, my box of H.Uppman Mag 50s, have 2 left. I must also say the box of Oliva V Melanio Petite Coronas. Peace of the Lord be with you.

			This is a tough question. There have been so many great boxes of cigars over the years, but the one that jumped to mind first was my box of Padron 3000 Naturals. I am halfway through the box of 26 and can say those first 13 were fantastic. Another one that jumped to mind was my Rocky Patel Private Cellar Toro. I bought these on a whim, even after reading a less than stunning review on Cigar Inspector. I am only through the first 5 of this box, but they have been very nice smokes. |

			I'd have to go with a box of Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro Robustos a few years back.  Why, you ask?  Thanks for asking, I reply.  I'd been smoking cigars for years, but only occasionally and not with any scrutiny towards what I was smoking.  I got stationed in Europe and had access to CCs, so started smoking more but still without any kind of introspection; I'd have a Swisher Sweet one week and a Punch Punch the next with little thought to either. Then one day while I was deployed to the Middle East I had a CC Cohiba that was so friggin' good it made me want to become a cigar smoker, not just someone who occasionally had a cigar. After my deployment my wife and I came back to the states...and no more CCs. So I started hitting the on-line sites and buying tons of samplers, trying a little of everything to try and see what I liked and more importantly what I didn't. I did that for almost a year and then made my first box purchase, the Lot 23s. So it's probably my most satisfying mainly for what it represented: my transition from an occasional smoker who paid little attention to what I was smoking to a full-blown cigar enthusiast.

			How'd you know dude? I am actually thinking of hopping back into the hobby here soon. Gotta stop spending so much money on fishing first. Wonder what box(es) I should buy.

			Really like this thread!! Too hard to choose, I have a lot of great CC boxes that I haven't even touched yet that I'm waiting to crack open one is a 11' Trini Rob E (waiting a very long time to open them I'm thinking when my 3 years old daughter gets married) and actually just got a box of '13 HDM DC that I very excited to try might light one up this upcoming 4th of July! |
