Welcome to Puff. I'll PM you this so you get it as well.

For newbies I would recommend variety samplers. Those are ones that give you 10-20 different smokes at a good price. Gives you a chance to experience a wide variety and expand your pallet.

The Kitchen Sink sampler on CI is great too. Around $3.00 a smoke you get to try 20 different cigars. Some are budget cigars I listed like Cuba Libre, 5 Vegas, El Mejor, etc. But theres also some upscale smokes in there like the highly rated Rocky Patel Decade, Padilla Habano, Graycliff 1666 etc.

One sampler I'm dying to try is the Ghurka Doppelganger. 20 DIFFERENT cigars all made by Ghurka. Good chance to try a lot of diff stuff. Around $3.00 a smoke and includes some that are $20.00 value.

They also have the new Salacious Sizzler which gives you 19 different smokes at around $2.50 a stick. A lot of good stuff in there too. CAO Black ltd., Romeo y Julieta 1875, Onyx Reserve, etc. Also includes some of the budget sticks that Kitchen Sink includes.

The best samplers on Cigars International are the ones with 4-5 different sticks and they give you 4-5 of each. Usually they are all top notch and come between 50-80% discount.

Look around and keep mental notes of what you see. Eventually you will know how to spot the killer deals.

[KINGLISH]

Thanks!

[fuente~fuente]

WOW!!! That's outstanding work Cory!!!

That's gonna really be helpful to ALOT of people. THANKS!!!


I'll throw in a sticky vote as well!!!

[Nickerson]

Thanks guys. I was thinking of maybe separating the online cigar retailer list and overview into its own thread with more details, and people can reply with their experiences and a review of the different shops. I've already found 3-4 other pretty good shops that should be added. Aren't as main stream but have a wide selection and good pricing.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Oh my. Joe Cigar Daily Deal

Todays deal is 10x Padilla 1932, one of my favorite smokes for $3.00 a stick! Hopefully I got enough $ left over from buying my humidor to get this!

Great job Cory. Thanks for your hard work.

One of the finest for the money and a personal favorite of mine is the Sol Cubano Maduro Torpedo made bu Oliva. CI price $69.95 for a box of 25. That's less than $2.80 a stick. And I have found them for under $50 a box on Cbid.
