IYO whats the best $200 box

[ngetal]

I'd suggest getting Bohemio Knot Corojo from Don Francisco Cigars

I had the opportunity to sample Lew's maduros as well as one of these babies - normally, I'm a maduro sort of person, but the Bohemio Knot Corojo was fabulous! these are at the top of my 'to buy' list, as soon as budget allows

You comin' back to town? Let me know when! BTW - I did contact Jim and we made a couple deals

BMW mentioned buying from Keystone_Raider. Jim owns a shop in the Westmoreland Mall. He would be up front and honest with you. Granted he doesn't have a liqour license like Jernigan's (hint, hint), but I've been in his shop and it's very nicely stocked.

There are several people here who have businesses. All would be recommended.

Or you can even try this. Do the Newbie Sampler trade and tell whoever you are dealing with what you enjoy. And figure out a price range and wham, you will get a nice surprise. :thumbs:

The Newbie Trade I did really put my palate on the map. I can't recommend it enough. The best $100 I've spent to date.

Did the newbie trade a while ago...

I've done it several times throughout my stay. Its always a nice change to what I normally smoke like Anejo's, Opus, and LFD stuff. Do like a $50 sampler again and tell them what you enjoy.

After said sampler, use the other $150 to seek out 5 packs from others on CP or buy singles at the B&M shop. Or you could just walk into a B&M shop and just start randomly picking out smokes after talking with the staff. But what do I know..absolutely nothing. :laugh:

I might be in the city a few weeks before the HERF. Might be sooner if my buddy comes through with tickets for the game this weekend. Definitely let you know.

Glad to hear you and Jim were able to do business. He's good people.

From what I understand...and I haven't read the rules in a while, but you can only do the newbie sampler 2x...correct me if I'm wrong...

This weekend is no good for me, got too much going on until next Wednesday - after that let me know.

Yeah Jim took care of me and he's even holding my stash until the herf, and I have some others that I'm toting along...they should be arriving today or tomorrow! Let them rest for a month...

Decided??? Yeah - I want 'em all! Which individual one to chose is almost impossible! But no, I have not. This will be a process of elimination. The $200 is a guideline...thats what I was given permision to spend, and if I spend more, its easier to ask forgiveness than get pemission. But I think for $200 - I can get something good. I think I'm leaning 3 ways - the Padron 2000 maddys, Liga Privada #9, or the La Riqueza #4 if I can find them...

So, have you decided yet?

Try Norcalmark I think he has either one.

I was told you can do it as many times as you like. Probably not best to do it like 4 times in 1 month. I haven't used it in a very long time. I've established myself and know what I enjoy. Very expensive high end cigars. Its a curse I know and I love reviewing said cigars. :love:

I agree, I dropped $100, and was blown away, best $100 I've spent on cigars. I will definitely be taking advantage of another one

 

[GregSVT]

I'd go for a box of El Triunfadors or La Riqueza #5

I also second the VSG recommendation. The Illusion and Tres Mystique are excellent and can be found for around $200. PM me if you need a source on anything I've mentioned.
