Re: Small Box Purchase

Nice pick up. I have been wanting to try these but with no b&m in my area, I hate to pick up a full box. There's always the chance that I won't like them.
I've heard a lot of good things about them, I may have to take the plunge anyway.

Re: Small Box Purchase

Nice pick up. I have only smoked a few Benchmades and did not like either of them. I don't recall the vitola that I smoked. I remember it being smaller though, perhaps a corona.

Re: Small Box Purchase

I'm about half way through my second box of these. I've found them to be a little inconsistant, good and better. Worth the cost for sure.

Jeff, the only ones I care for are the robusto. The others I find to be a little flat.

Greg, they sure are worth the price you pay for them!

Re: Small Box Purchase

Good to know. I'll have to give the Robusto a try next time I see them.

Re: Small Box Purchase

Greg, they sure are worth the price you pay for them! [/QUOTE]

Donnie, the two box's I bought were Churchills (on closeout $37/bx) last year.
Couldn't pass them up. They seem more consistant as they got some time on them.

Smoking one right now.

Good to know about the Robusto. Going to try them.

Re: Small Box Purchase

They look good. I need too start looking for a priced right cigar. Two years of just smoking 4 cigars a month got me hooked on high end smokes. Now I am on 3 months in a row of 4 cigars a week LOL.

Going to the B&M in the AM. I will check to see if they have them.



Thanks Lance

Re: Small Box Purchase

I might have to chime in and say I'm gonna try to get in a box as well too!

Maybe after I smoke down some of the DPG's I just got in today . It was a fun trip to the post office this morning! I was smiling all day!

Re: Small Box Purchase

This comes under the heading of one thing leads to another. I was searching the threads for a good small cigar for quick smokes ( I found some great suggestions by the way), a "Small cigars" search brought me to this thread. As I read it I said hey I've got that cigar and still have not tried it. An hour an half or so later and I have to say that in my limited experience that it was maybe my favorite smoke to date.
A quick question if you don't mind. I thought about just uncurling the pigtail and smoking it that way but decided to clip the very end of the tail off instead. I was surprised at what a large easy draw I got off it. How do most smoke the pigtails?

Re: Small Box Purchase

Im always seeing this kind of post about Benchmades but never pull the handle,,good to know about the Robustos probably being the better size. Does aging these sticks provide a better profile as I am a Churchill size smoker? As far as a cheaper cigar that I have found to be a "go to" stick lately is Pirates Gold,,any size. For the profile it gives out I haven't seen anything better but would like to have a Benchmade to compare,,,having 2 "go to" cheap cigars would be great.
