Need help buying a few samplers

[Jon11]

Whats up guys. I got my humidor in, just need to season it for a week or so. There are so many sampler packs on Cigarsinternational. I'll probably buy about 3, what the hell do you recommend I should buy? If anyone has time to look on the site and tell me what samplers you would buy, I would really appreciate it. Not really worried about price, just want some quality stuff. Thanks,
Jon

get a Pepin sampler and an AJ Fernandez sampler if they have them i.e, Diesel, 5 Vegas, Morro Castle

CI sucks as a vendor I suggest buying elsewhere. Go to cigarsatyourprice.com and buy singles (build your own singles sampler).

Try a little bit of everything
Illusiones
My Father
Cain Daytonas
Fuentes
Don Pepin
Viaje

Do you have any interest in mild cigars or would you rather go for med-full bodied smokes?

These ones look nice on CI right now:

RP 1961 and Ave Maria 10'er

DPG 8 pack sampler:

And if you use the links I provided, I believe you get free shipping.

Also, punch in promo code CICRAZY10 for 10% off.

Med-full bodied probably, but not opppsed to an excellent mild cigar, if they exist.

I would say 5 Vegas and Ave Maria for sure...and the 3rd one I would probably do one with different brands, like "The Honest Pour" sampler. 15 cigars for like $30, good or bad...$2 a stick isn't a bad average

The Honest Pour 15-Cigar Sampler includes:
1 - 5 Vegas Class Double Corona (6" x 48)
1 - Arganese Connecticut Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Bahia Maduro Panchos (5.5" x 52)
1 - Cuban Legacy Toro (6.5" x 50)
1 - Gran Habano Connecticut #1 Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Graycliff ’G2’ Pirate (torpedo) (6" x 52)
1 - Indian Tabac Classic Arrow (5" x 50)
1 - Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Toro Maduro (6" x 52)
1 - La Estrella Cubana Oscuro ’R’ (5" x 50)
1 - Nica Libre Imperial (6" x 54)
1 - Padilla Hybrid Torpedo (6.25" x 52)
1 - Park Avenue Series 44 Churchill (7" x 48)
1 - Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto (5" x 50)
1 - Rocky Patel R4 Corojo Torpedo (6" x 52)
1 - Torano Dominico Torpedo (6.25" x 52)


Some of those are pretty good but some are decent at best. I would suggest just building your own at cigarsatyourprice.com if money is no object. They have great pricing, just start super low and move up by 25 cents or so on the singles or maybe even 5 or 10 cents. If you get locked in where you think it is too high just clear your browsers history and it will reset and you can enter your own price again. They also have great deals on boxes. Alternatively you can buy a box of something and then trade out 5ers for random samplings from guys or something but I honestly think building your own sampler is the way to go other than visiting the B&M closest to you. If you do that you can also just look at Cigar Aficionado magazine for their ratings as they tend to be pretty spot on IMHO atleast with my tastes.

Good luck bro and let us know what you decide.
