Default What to buy

Ok I have 110 bucks that the wifey won't notice missing

Give me some suggestions, I want to pick up a box of something. What should I pick up?

You know how it goes, can't decide easily when it's just one box.

Thinking a box of Ambos..... I never had a Tat of any kind so I ordered a box of Series Ps and may do the Ambos now.

I think I will start off small price wise. Want to try them all but damn they are expensive. One day.

I will give this a little longer for some suggestions before ordering, someone may say something I been wanting to try but can't seem to remember LOL.

If you can carve out another $15, I would string recommend the short stories.

Not a bad start, but the brown labels kill those in terms of flavor. Try them as soon as you can!

Will do. Juggling 2 mortgages right now, once the F'n house sells I plan on treating myself to a few boxes and they are on the list.

Nice pickup, but may I ask, if you've never tried a cigar, why buy them a box at a time? That doesn't seem prudent.

My humidor is set up for boxes, there is some room for singles but not much. If I don't like them they should sell easily.

I'm not hard to please though so i'm sure i'll be good


Hopefully be here tomorrow.

Every humidor can be set up for singles.. Just save some of your boxes, and use them for singles storage. That's what I do in my Wine cooler, and it works fine. But hey, whatever floats your boat man. Hope you enjoy them so you don't have to sell!

Nah not really, I have plenty of friends who would pick them up from me if I didn't like them. It isn't a huge risk for me. Now the other more expensive Tats I will try a single first but these boxes I bought are cheap.

I wouldn't say I have money to burn LOL but I understand where your coming from.

I took one of the trays in my cabinet and set 2 shelves up close to each other and made a drawer if you will. Will hold a decent amount just not a huge amount. I am just anal about how it's set up and being able to see my singles. I know everyone is different but I can't help it.
