CI has 5-packs of the Toro sized RP Vintage 1990 or 1992 for $25.00!


But if you want to just buy a whole box (20 cigars) it's still $157.00!

And the phone rep just confirmed for me that essentially the box itself is going to cost me $57.00, because they won't sell me a box (four five packs) for $100.

But I guess the prices on the five packs are a screaming deal.

I jumped on this deal last week. Just delivered on Friday.
I went ahead and picked up 5 5 packs, its a pretty sweet deal.

HOLY CRAP! 2o sticks!

Do people realize what kind of deal this is ? That's under $5 a stick, for RP Vintage 1990 Toros!

I do believe this is commonly referred to as "putting the pimp hand down on the competition" :laugh: :laugh:

Come on Payday!!
 
CI is selling seconds of these for a lot less. I just ordered some robustos. Check it out.

And a guy I know in NYC sells Louis Vuitton bags for $50, but I don't mind paying more for first quality! But that's because I'm vain!

One of these days I'll have to pick up a bundle of the seconds to compare to the ones I'm about to buy from Ian.
 
The seconds are fine, I buy three bundles a month. I have come across construction issues that you won't find in the 1sts, though. They say it's a cosmetic only difference, and for the most part I think that's right, but occasionally I see mild burn issues with these that I haven't seen with the 1sts.

I also suspect that Indian Tabac has been doing a little market research with the whole "seconds" strategy. I'm betting they've sold buckets of these seconds and have been working out what their volumes would be at a lower price point.

Thanks for this great deal, Ian.

For the recpord I have smoked both the seconds and a few firsts, and I really can't see why they are seconds. The only problem I had was an incredibly tight draw thanks to CI's overzealous humidification regime.

One they settled in at 65% for a few weeks they smoked fine.

Still Ian's deal is quite good.
 
Now the trick is trying to find them on Ian's site. PM sent, since I failed. If anyone else sees them feel free to post the link! ???
 
Ian this was the thread I was referring to, but I never saw anything from you regarding you receiving these.

I guess a cigar in hand is worth more than a good deal in the bush?
