My first box/bundles of everyday's???

I still consider myself a NOOB. So far i have purchased only singles. And with so many to try I am sure I will still buy a lot of singles.

But I have found myself leaning toward Robustos maduros so I am thinking of picking up a box/bundle for yard work-golf-neighbor visits, etc. Just a less expensive (if i want to pitch and not feel guily) everyday smoke.

I am thinking of these from a B/M

1. Flor de Oliva Robustos Maduro $38 bundle (25)
2. Perdomo Lot 23 Robustos Maduro $56 box (25)
3. Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quioxte $44 box (20)

I have not tried any of these but have heard pretty good things about them all.

The Flors are the cheapest, but are the others worth the additional cost?

They are all excellent.

I think the Flor's are the best deal, but not at $38. They go for less than $27, $25 on cbid quite a bit.

FDO or Sancho Panza's in my opinion.

Both are good consistent brands

I would go with the Sancho Panza or checkout Cigarbid or Cigars International for some 5 Vegas "A". The 5 Vegas robusto is called the Artisan. The box is $72 on CI, but can be had for $50 on Cigarbid.

PM me your addy and I will give you a couple to try.

$25 for a stack of Flor's is great!

Re: My first box/bundles of everyday's???

Now, I am all for supporting the local B&M's. Without them we'd all go crazy. But........

I have to say, you need to go to the 'net to spend your $$$. With gas, food, and everything else at all time highs, get the most from your hard earned cash.

As far as choices, all you listed look good, but my pick would be the Flor de Oliva. Best bundle smoke out there... .

Flor de Oliva's as an everyday smoke is the best way to go and it's easy on the wallet

Re: My first box/bundles of everyday's???

hmm.. i regularly smoke the lot 23 maduro's but in the churchill size.. great cigar... i ALSO about 2 weeks ago bought a box os SPDM quixote's for the money i think hats the best bang for your buck... ive smoked and bought the FDO bundles in everything but the maduro's.. i may be wrong but i think the maduro's got a real bad review. If im wrong go with the oliva's.. but if i were you id grab the SP while theyre still cheap sticks!

Tend to keep a box of Gispert Maddy on hand as a yard gar, usually can find them a reasonable price.

Don't forget the Perdomo Fresco Maduros! Very cheap, very tasty.

Don't forget about Tampa Sweethearts, I've been smoking the #500 maduros for a couple years now. I don't smoke as many but still really enjoy them from time to time.
