Most and Least Paid for a Box of Cigars

ca21455 · 02-16-2009, 02:31 PM

I consider myself to be pretty cheap and have not ventured into the high dollar boxes...but thought it might be interesting to see what the high and low end might be for some of the other BOTL/SOTLs here.

Most expensive VSG Corona Gorda for $211.00

Least expensive Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote $35.95

While the Quixotes are a nice smoke for the price, the VSGs are definitely worth the extra money!

Most expensive was a box of RASS
Least expensive was a box of Boli PC's

Those are my only box purchases.

Least - Guantanamero Minutos - $ .80 per stick.

Most - well um .. it was more.

Does a 5-pack of swisher sweets back in 1987 count? I don't remember what I paid back then, but I'm sure it was cheap. Probably the cheapest was a bundle of Connies.. but without the box... so maybe that doesn't count... there was a box of montecruz that was $30.00 bucks but that only had 10 cigars in it... so I'm not sure if that counts either... Hard to believe that I many people including myself got boxes of punch coronas and RS12s for less than I paid for a box of LaFincas.

Most expensive? I don't remember, but I'm sure it wasn't anything outrageous... maybe a cab of Des Dieux.. but is that 2 boxes?

I purchased a few boxes of machine made cigars a long time ago for a few bucks, guess they were ok back then, or at least nothing a good bottle of Ripple could not resolve.

troutbreath · 02-16-2009, 03:02 PM

Good question. I think:

$80 for a box of RyJ Habana Reserve robustos (27)

$211 (I think) for a box of Tatuaje Unicos.

Just checked my records and I actually paid about $37 for them. Better than what I thought.

markem · 02-16-2009, 03:13 PM

Least: LHdM du Prince (less that $1 per stick)
Most: Dunhill Mojito (more than $1 per stick

)

Snake Hips · 02-16-2009, 03:38 PM

This may be kind of skewed because I don't have a lot of boxes and 90% of my boxes were from sales.

Most Expensive: 5 Montecristo 'A'; ~$120
Least Expensive: Partagás Partagás de Partagás No. 1; ~$60 maybe

Smokin Gator · 02-16-2009, 03:54 PM

Boobar · 02-16-2009, 05:08 PM

Least - 5 Vegas Series 'A' Anomaly - $35.00
Most - 5 Vegas Miami Petite Corona - $85.00

I don't generally buy full boxes because I don't have the room in my humidor for them and my tastes change too often. From the few boxes I have bought the 2 mentioned would be the most and the least.
