Default Re: Decisions, decisions...your opinions??

If your price comparison for a sampler is ballpark to 20 FdO's, I'd say the sampler is gonna be craptacular. Is it going to be a low end offering from Rocky Patel, CAO, Don Tomas, and a host of other $2-3 sticks?

What have you smoked and enjoyed thus far?

To answer your question I like Kristoff's, RyJ, Montecristo, Cain Daytona No. 4 to name a few.

I am going with the sampler, just like I wanted...here is the description:

"We've selected an assortment of 15 cigars to sell at $2-3 per stick. The brands included in your grab bag vary, but you will get 8 premium cigars that retail between $4.50 to $12 a stick and 7 less expensive smokes that retail between $2 to 4.50 per stick. You would normally have to spend between $40-$80 to buy these cigars individually, but you're getting them for 40 to 60% OFF!"

Thanks for your input everyone.

Well my order came in and you were right here is what I received


1. Gregoria Power XV puros Finos 15th Anniversary
2. Abam Churchill
3. Indios Torpedo
4. Rocky Patel 1961 Robusto (2)
6. Camacho Jamastran
7. Cusano Cuvee Rouge Robusto
8, Rolando Reyes Aliados Robusto (2)
10. CAO Italia Fatto A Mano
11. Camacho Maduro Rothschild
12. Indios Robusto (2) BEETLES!!!!
13. Quorum Churchill
14. Flor De Gonzalez The Qban Fuerte

yep Beetles in two of them, and I killed one, notice this pic

Right below the band...that's the carcass and I barely touched it, because I thought it looked weird and it pretty much exploded under my thiumb.
One more pic this is the 2nd one.


The others were inspected VERY CAREFULLY and they are in the fridge now the 2 infested ones are in a ziplock in the garage. I called Neptune as soon as I discovered them and they were closed....I left a vm.

Any ideas on how to handle this? Be upset and demand a new shipment or just inform them and be out 2 cigars? I only paid $5.95 for the whole lot, I guess I pay for what I get right?

Anyone had any of these besides the Quorums?

Wow Bro! Looks like it was contained in two but I would not take any chances. I would immediately send them back for a full refund and establish communications with the manager.
