Cigar.com Humidor and Cigar Combo $20

[Rev2010]

Cigars International actually ran a similar deal a while back, but there's was only $14.99 though the sticks weren't as good as the ones in the Cigar.com one (though they were still all premiums).

I had bought two of them at that insane low price. One I gave as a gift to a coworker and the other I use as a "work humi". It stays at my job for when I want one after work on Friday while meeting up with the wife in the city. Oh, and the CI humi's were also brand name prints. I got a Perdomo and some other brand.

That'd be great to have a Gurkha Humi..... even though I don't need it.

had every stick listed. cant beat that deal

I just received mine today and I am a little disappointed. There was no Gurkha and I was anxious to try my first one. Hopefully the substitution will be as good or better. The COA black is also a cigar I've never tried (never tried any CAO actually) and was looking forward to and lo and behold, there is a rather large crack in the stick.

I am reluctant to blame the cracked stogie on cigars, since I know how mail carriers are extremely rough and inconsiderate when handling packages. But it still doesn't take away from the fact that my first CAO is messed up and I won't get to try a Gurkha .

Is there any way I can fix the crack on the CAO? Maybe patch it up with a wrapper from a similar, but obviously cheaper, cigar? Any helpful suggestions are welcome.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I was pretty happy with the fact that it only took 3 days to get here. Thanks for posting this deal on here or I never would have found it!

The Park Avenue is a Gurkha, even though the band doesn't bear the name. It's the only Gurkha that I've ever tried, and considering that I liked it and yet keep seeing negative things about Gurkhas in general, I dunno if it was reflective of the producer as a whole.

There are quite a few good suggestions throughout the forums for cigar repair; there's even a specific cigar glue available. That being said, you might skip the trouble and just see about returning it for a new one.

I've had a damaged cigar from cigar.com before, they shipped me a new one. Just a thought.

[CackalackyStogieMeister]

For such a great deal, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Even without that cigar, it would have been a great deal. If I hassle them, they'll probably end up losing money from the transaction. I will be upset if this happens regularly, but I doubt it will.

I just ordered the other humidor and cigar sampler from CI, which comes with 8 cigars.

I recently got back into cigar smoking and got a humidor. I always used to buy sticks one at a time and hold on to them for a week sometimes. Now that I've got a couple humidors with a lot of cigars, I get very anxious to smoke and try them all.

Every once in a while Thompsons has a sale , where if the humidor is what you are looking for, you cant go wrong. Just dont give them your correct phone number and do it on line, and choose no to everything except what you are buying.
First, theres a approx 50 count cherry wood laquered humidor with a divider. Dont laugh, I have found it to be very dependable. It comes with a small credo, and a small hygro. The hygro is spot on once formulated, and the credo does an excellent job. I dont use the magnets or tape, I go right for my own industrial l grade velcro.from home depot. I use this on all my humidors.
Then they give you a decent single torch butane lighter, and 25 cheap, but very smokeable hand rolled cigars. 5 are made by victor sinclair.
They throw them out about twice a year, for 25 dollars, including shipping. Very stable and good lucking humidor, the smokes are decent after you lay them down, and again, humi is ultra stable, and the cedar keeps a nice smell.
Great gift idea, or if you need a small stable humidor, or want some cheapo cigars to hand out, to not so good acquantances.
I plan on buying several of them real soon, and stock with a liitle better quality cigar for holiday gifts. I find it hard to find the right gifts sometimes, but these small ones will be perfect, and I will get a chance to get rid of some of my "stock" cigars, that I personally do not really favor, even thou they are quality cigars.
Much regards Jerry

About the cigar.com deal? DO IT. Best deal a newbie could ever hope for. There are some seriously quality smokes in that sampler; the humidor is just a sweet bonus. I've picked up a few samplers so far and that is the only one that has given me a few cigars for a my future buys list.

CackalackyStogieMeister - I have never tried this, but heard that pectin is good for repairing wrappers.

Can't beat that deal! I wish I would have seen it befor I ordered the humidor combo at cubancrafters for $35. Can't complain as it was still a great deal, the humidor is very nice however not a big fan of the Don Kiki limited reserve red and green lables that came with it.

[Victor Sinclair]

Nice deal

[domerthefrog]

i bought a similar one to this a couple weeks ago, everything came through fine. The humidor is tiny though.

[CackalackyStogieMeister]

I'm very excited. I ordered a similar combo from CI and I'm expecting it to come within the next hour. It's pretty much the same, except this one have only 8 cigars and was 5 dollars cheaper. I'll edit this post and let you know how this one compares to the cigar.com combo once I get it.
