CI Brown bag special

[rball5]

Incase anyone here hasn't ordered one (and was wondering what you could expect if you did), here's what I got in CI's 'brown bag special' (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...12&cat=6&page=).



Best I can tell, these are the sticks I received (for $20):
Aristoff White Label - Perfecto Minor (4.5" x 50)
Vega Talanga Tercio - Corona (5.5" x 42)
Gurkha 1887 Expedition - Toro (6.0" x 50)
El Mejor Gran Reserva Emerald (5 1/2" x 50)
Astral - Phoenix? (7.5" x 50)
Padilla Obsidian - Obsidian (belicoso) (6.0" x 54)
Victor Sinclair Connecticut Yankee - Churchill (7.0" x 50)
Nestor Plasencia '04 - Robusto (5.0" x 50)
5 Vegas Gold - Toro (6.0" x 50)
Indian Tabac Super Fuerte - Robusto (5.0" x 50)

Total value (based on CI's own box-price) = $20. I could be a little off on what these actually are - I am, afterall, a complete newb .

This post is partly a test - my first post (intro post) hasn't shown up yet. If this post works, it'll be followed by a repost of my intro post.

Alright......looks like you can start threads now. I wasn't aware that there was a process (approval) before you could post.......I don't remember that when I joined

Sampler has some good sticks, and a couple I haven't had.

I can start 'em, but still get this msg & have to wait for them to appear:


They show up eventually though

Replies to post that have already been started happen immediately.

Yeah, just give it a little bit, it will show up. Hex does it to keep the spammers outta here.

Welcome to the board.

I'm definately OK with it - keeps out the dillholes ... I think I missed my first post showing up & thought it still hadn't.

Thanks for the welcome

I bought 20 of the Vega Talangas and they weren't bad for a buck each. One dimentional, but a nice strong flavor. No off flavors or sweet gluey notes.
