So explain this deal from CI to me (too good to be true?)

[KingSlender]

So just flipping through my new catalog and they have a big spread on Padilla and the most expensive are Signature 1932 - $269 for a box of 25 robustos.

However, on the same page, they have this deal:

• 4 Padilla Signature 1932 Robustos
• 4 Padilla Series '68 Robustos
• 4 Padilla 1948 Robustos
• Price: $40

So if you get 6 of those samplers, you would get 24 of the Signature 1932's (1 short of a box) for $249 (including shipping), plus they throw in a 3-cigar sampler (1666 GrayCliff, 5 Vegas Classic, El Mejor Emerald) for orders over $100. So by giving up buying the 1932's as a box of 25, you:

• Spend $20 less
• Get 24 Series 1968 Robustos
• Get 24 1948 Robustos
• 3-cgar sampler (which you would get with any order over $100)

Am I missing something here?

[MrRogers]

Nope. that looks about right. Good catch.

I love CI.

Man last week that sampler was 29.99 and there was a free shipping code. Was the weekly deal

[slyder]

i got the padilla sampler a few weeks ago for $29!!

[Jack Straw]

The box price Padilla 1932 is one of those that I think is inflated to make the samplers seem like a steal (See also: Ghurka, Gracliff 1666, etc.).

*Great* cigars though.

I picked up this sampler when it was the weekly deal a short time ago. I just had my first cigar from it last night (a '68 robusto) and thought it was great! At 29.99 with free shipping this was a steal of a deal! At this point, I wish I would have ordered more than 1, but it's my first foray into the padilla field so I didn't want to get carried away. I can't wait to have my first 1932.

The 68 seems to be manys first smoke out of this sampler. Was mine too. Smoked okay. I would definitly prefer the 32 over it anyday

[dinoa2]

you dont seem to be missing anything, not familiar wiht box price for 32s but they aint cheap and you get all the other cigars for that same price
I got the $29 sampler and started with the 48 then the 68, thought the 48 was better but will see what they taste like again, havent tried the 32 yet

[Cigary]

Yep,,,,the 32's are a bit more expensive and a better cigar in my opinion. They can be had on CBID for quite a bit less than sticker. I have seen them go for $127 for a box of churchills. The last one I got about a year ago went for $140 and they are still marinating.

[slyder]

the 32s are fricken awsome!!!
