Caridad?

Hi, as you guys can tell, I'm new to this forum. I saw the ad for the 25 caridad cigars for $9.95. I was just wondering if this is a good deal or if I should hold off and try other smokes. Also, what style do you reccommend?

One more thing. If I do buy them, how should I store them? I don't have a humidor and usually when I buy cigars I just buy singles from my local cigar shop and smoke them that day or right then, so I've never had to store them before. Any suggestions? I heard about the "coolidor" but i have to idea how to set it up. Can someone explain the concept to me?

Thanks again for any help,
Wayne :smiley41:

you get what you pay for. Also, when the retailer says they are just ok, and he is selling them, it should tip you off that these are crap.

I have not had them but based on my limited experience, you get what you pay for. I personally would shy away from them after reading the following intro at famous-smoke:
...Truth be told, they're not all perfect, and when you look at the price, you pretty much get what you pay for. But for the most part they're a decent, everyday stick. Good for smoking with your favorite brew, but you're probably better off giving them away as handouts to the neighborhood grubbers.

The following threads maybe helpful:

Now that's a sales pitch if I ever heard one. After reading that it doesn't sound like something I would jump on.

Haha..whatever. For $13 shipping I bought 25 of them. If anything they are a great cigar to hand out when you get leeches at your house that cannot appreciate a good cigar.

hahah, hopefully my newbie sampler goes out before those arrive :smiley36:

Nice, we will need a review.

yea I will still smoke at least one. But that will probably be it.

I actually didn't think they were too bad. They are very mild, a little too loose, produce clouds of smoke and are on level, in my opinion, with Connies. I bought a bunch a whilke ago to give to leechers
