Are they that good?

Good luck getting those, and if you do find them be prepared to shell out big bucks $$$$$$$...sorry no pound note symbol on my keyboard.

I just got 2 boxes this morning, at $8 a cigar I thought they were ok value.

How about a box of Lil monsters ?

Oh and check out the coupons in the Sale tab, you can get $20 off when you spend $150 at the moment...

This exactly how i get all my NC smokes! Just got 50 in my last haul from a friend yesterday, all five packs. I use Famous-smoke.com they will ship to any address with a UK card, you just need to get your first order sent to your own address. So i got a box of matches for about $30. Its definitely payed for itself though. Now if anyone i know crosses the pond i can get em sent to their hotel. Famous also does something called 5-pack frenzy where you get one in every 4 5-packs free.
Cigar wise id get a couple of Padron samplers!! That's a must (the 88 is reasonably priced)!
Arturo Fuente Hemmingways are great! The "Best seller" is my fave ..
Oliva serie G and V are great well priced smokes.
Basically there seems to be a general consensus that Padron, Arturo Fuente and Oliva produce some of the best, most consistent NC's going...

Thanks James and smokem, boxes of 5 it is...


I also found that out in the shot time I've been smoking cigars. I had, what i presumed was a plugged Uppman Petit Corona which put me of ordering another until a friend gave me a second one which I really enjoyed... Lesson learnt, especially when trying something new I guess.

5 is a good number to try with a new cigar you've not had, but never go with less then two. When I first got into cigars I would always buy singles. Sometimes they would be great, or bad. When I went and tried them again, I might find the reverse. When I started buying doubles, I found it much easier to judge.

[James811]

Spot on mate, I think 5 is more than enough of a cigar you have never had before. Maybe just 2 or 3 singles of the ones you arent too fussed about too?

[H4rty82]

Thanks for the suggestions fellas, my list just keeps getting longer lol

The more I look into this the more I think I may be better off with boxes of 5 so I can sample as many as possible. What are your opinions?

[smokem]

The three sites above are the best I found so far. All three do a lot of international shipping as well.
As for the cigars a few other come to mind that are big hits right now in the states...and I've had them all.

Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970..also in the dark corojo. Full, rich, and powerful.

Viaje Cigars...small boutique brand that is putting out some amazing stuff right now.

San Lotano...They have the Oval, Habano, Maduro and Connecticut

I can come up with more, but I'll have to give it a think.
