My first box purchase- Dunhill Altamiras

Arval512 · 12-29-2012, 09:37 AM

I've bought plenty of samplers and always find a few stinkers. I'm so stubborn that when I get a smoke I don't particularly care for I always fight my way through to the finish. This is a cigar I tried at a local B&M and enjoyed so much I had to pick up a box. I paid $65 for ten tubos, anybody else try these?

I havent heard of these, but I havent ever smoked a Dunhill. Sounds like a decent price for them.

Congrats on the first of many I am sure. You have taken that first leap!!!!

Arval512 · 12-29-2012, 10:27 AM

Thanks brothers! I got tired of smoking crappy (in my opinion) cigars, the leap came natural...

BSB · 12-29-2012, 11:56 AM

Pretty! Glad you found something you like.

Maybe you could post a review...

Ahh c'mon bro! Don't put me on the spot like that

I would do one but honestly, I don't have the refined palette that some of the vets do. I don't pick up on light floral notes with a strong leather undertone followed by a creamy finish or the like.

It's a very mellow smoke with some unique flavors (to me at least). Flawless burn, no touch ups required. The construction looks awesome. Great smoke output. I've nubbed all two (haha) of these that I've smoked thus far. If anyone would like to do a more thorough review I'll send one of these guys out. Before buying the box, I tried looking all over for reviews on these or any info really and came up without much.

Sounds like a review to me; and a strong recommendation to pick some up if I see them.

Congrats on the first box purchase. I only wish my first box was as fine a choice as this. Start looking at 150 quart coolers now to save some time.

That's good enough, thanks!

The first third I noticed some distinct earthy manure flavors... JK That's the review I was referring to, I know some guys get pretty into the reviews. I can only hope one day my palette can detect manure

I will definitely look into making a coolidor, thanks for the heads up brother!

Congrats!!! No looking back now...

Garbandz · 01-01-2013, 04:05 PM

$6.50 for a Dunhill is a steal.I would go back and buy the rest of them.In fact ,how about getting me a box?

Arval512 · 01-01-2013, 07:39 PM

I'm not sure what forum rules are regarding posting the names of the supplier so i f I'm violating any rules my bad, don't boot me ...

I picked these beauts up at famous-smoke.com, they always have some bad azz coupons on there so make sure you take advantage of that if you do order any
