Sample Pack help...

socalguy75 · 11-03-2012, 07:11 PM

I recently ordered a sample pack of cigars via a Groupon ad I received. Since I am still "new" to cigars, I thought I would let you guys weigh in on the cigars that came in the pack. Some have the both the name and brand listed on the band, others just the brand. Here is the list:

Don Barretto
Aurora Escogidos
Olgr Fuerte
CAO Maduro L'anniverssarie
Vueltabajo
Rocky Patel Lite
La Floridita Gold
Fonesca
Olivia Serie G
Artisan by Famous Maduro Dominician Edition

Look forward to hearing your replies.

Who cares what we think! I like to smoke a cigar I don't know anything about then read reviews after for fear that they will alter my opinion.

The only opinion that matters is yours. Smoke 'em. If you like them, good purchase. If not, you learned something about your tastes.

For my taste, there isn't much in the sampler I would recommend. But that's me. YMMV.

Ditto, it only matters what you tink!

I haven't smoked many in that group, but I am in love with that CAO L'Anniversaire Maduro. Give it some time to age, and I think you will enjoy it! But hey, smoke 'em all, and enjoy 'em all!

The only ones I've smoked are the RP Lite and Oliva G. I enjoyed them both. The G was the first cigar with a Cameroon wrapper I ever smoked. I liked it so much that I almost always have at least one in my stash.

As for the rest, smoke them with no preconceived notions and you might find a new favorite. Ultimately, it's what you think of them that matters.

Thanks guys. I dont think that there will be a question as to if i will smoke them or not, just had never heard of some of them and was looking for opinions.

Of the ones you purchased the Olor Fuerte is a tasty mild smoke and the CAO is good. Enjoy.
