Cigars for a good friend

01-20-2009, 04:08 PM

He is a Lt in the US Army currently in a hot spot, I've sent him a few odds and ends, and he mentions in passing to me that he picked up a taste for cigars his last time he was home and wondered if I could pick him up a few.. obviously he has made a mistake in being vague

Can anyone suggest some cheaper ( 2-3 dollar a stick) cigars? I don't want to try and kill him with cremosas but I'll put in some Rocky patels cohiba's and ghurkas out of my collection. but He might need a 9 month supply so I'd like to give him a decent supply without breaking the bank. Any thoughts would be great.

Lots of stuff in that range at Taboo. Rob currently has a 40% off coupon. He will also ship direct to the APO with a note saying it was sent by you.

PM ,me his name and addy. I believe I can hook him up. If we all pitch in a few, He'll be good to go for awhile. The least that we can do for a Lt, lol ...soldier!

5 Vegas Alpha is always a great choice for a newbie.

Taboo is the way to go, especially with the 40% off; you can get 40% more cigars! Check the retailers section.

I didn't realize there was an inexpensive Padron.... I'll have to see if the B&M carries that one.

Flor de Oliva, and how about a box of Partagas Spanish Rosado, less then 100 bucks on CI.

CigaSkills9 · 01-21-2009, 01:01 PM

First package is on its' way to Brian, via Taboo Cigars, 5pk taboo twist! Hope he enjoys!

joetownhound · 01-21-2009, 04:48 PM

Packing them up tonight and will get them out tomorrow. Hope he enjoy. It will be nice to see him join the site.

JohnnyKay5 · 01-22-2009, 10:37 AM

give me some details on this LT... is he a member here? what branch? where is he if known. PM if needed

rrplasencia · 01-22-2009, 11:22 AM

Try Benchmade, it's a sandwich cigar but it's made from clippings of San Cristobal. They're about $2.35. Plenty of Oliva G in that range or Padron Londres.

Alec Bradley Harvest selection are nice and they are cheap ( just had one today )
if he is new to cigars and likes them pretty mild, the Superiores by La Aurora are really cheap and pretty good especially for the price box of 25 for $29.99 at CI
