Try again, it was up for me.

I have it figured out now. I need to try one out I think before ordering a whole bundle, can you buy them in singles anywhere?

Do they run specials on these, or did the price jump up recently? Cheapest is $41.95 for the #1s in the new catalog. Debating between these (#2s, probably) and the LHOs...

They go on a weekend, or weekly special every few months. last time it was a catalog special meaning that it lasted about a month, for $29.99 for any size.

Let me guess, the catalog special was last month?

Bought a bundle of 20 of these for about 20 bucks from the devil sight and it's turning out to be agreat value. Not an awesome cigar but still it's a damn good cigar and for a buck it's a great value.

PM Me and i'll send you a couple in the natural wrapper....
Maybe another brother can hook "Both of us up in a maduro"...

I wasn't that impressed with the natural wrapper...

Sounds like RP Fumas. I think they were exclusive to CI, but they don't seem to be available anymore, as they don't have them on the site.

Was this them? http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=695299

Forgot to post that I scored a bundle of Taboo Value Blend for $10.25 shipped from Taboo's auction.

Famous Nic 3000s are back in stock. I've been wanting to try these for a while, so I snagged a bundle.

Very tempting, as a noob my humidor is quite empty, this might help fill it up.

Gary, when I first got my humidor the way I filled it up was with samplers and 5 packs.

Along with buying singles, I was able to get a nice variety of cigars without spending too much and was slowly able to figure out which ones I liked before I started "investing" in boxes.

Bundles, Seconds and over-runs are nice if you've tried the cigars they were originally supposed to be and liked them but if you haven't, you could end up with a bundle of sticks you don't care for and can't get rid of.

Just something to think about on your way down that slope.

So, how many did you buy?

[Kreth]

Got my Nic 3000s (one of the perks of being in NY: 1 day ground shipping from Famous, CI, and Holt's). They smell great, and I was suprised to find a couple of free Tabak Especial Negras in the box. No mention of this when I placed the order. Free cigars are cool.

Good Bundle Smokes - but that said they need a nice long rest before they reach that point. Experience finds that 6 months to a year is good for them.

Btw, buying "mega-samplers" from CI is an incredibly cheap way of trying out a variety of smokes without breaking the bank but still filling up the humidor. Before investing in a single box, it gives you around 20 gars with 4-5 different blends in each sampler for the price of about $2.50-4 a stick(with many of them retailing for more than double or triple that, and just some great go-to sticks in general). Even though I have been smoking for about two years now, I have yet to make a single box purchase(but that is happening as soon as I return to the states ). I have solely purchased mega-samplers, 5'ers and singles but I don't regret it. It has provided me with experiencing dozens of different blends without emptying my wallet and now I have enough knowledge as to what blend I love and will buy by the box.

I scored a great deal on Indian Tabac SF Maduros a month or so ago on the monster. I think they came out to about 3 bucks a piece for 6 x 50's, and boy are they smoking great.
