Partagas 150's

[JCHouston]

Don't know if I've been given advice or gutted like a tuna. Guess that goes with being new on a board. Not a heavy smoker. Primary smoke is a Leon Jimenes. Was introduced to the 150 back in the late '90's when a Churchill was $11. Haven't had any lately but was looking for something for special occasions (Vegas). I always see Thompson in the catalogs and have ordered from them several times. Just wasn't sure about something this expensive.

Hi JC,

Partagas 150 is def a very nice smoke at the same time it is very expensive and unless you have been smoking cigars for a while and have developed the taste buds for differentiation is not worth the money at least for a newbie. That is the message people are trying to convey here.

That being said it would do you good to start a different thread simply introducing yourself. Let us know a bit about you your hobbies, etc. What you like to smoke what you don't; anything else you think will be of intrerest.

People on this board are very nice and will take you a lot more serious if they get the idea that you are not just a 1 post wonder but really a BOTL ( Brother of the Leaf )

if you're paying $11 for a leon jimenes...someone is overcharging you......

though a good cigar,made in the oldest factory in the D.R...it isn't an $11 cigar...
thompsons is not considered a discounter...they're almost the equivalant of a catalog brick and mortar....

i'd suggest you try some samplers...

try caminoviejo.com

and...rockyscigars.com

tell us a bit more about yourself....don't be afraid to use the search function...and try to have fun here....

Nah - you met the boys... Not a bad place - and if you spend some time checking things out you'd be surprised what it will do to your humi.

Seriously, though - if you want something nice for Vegas check out just about anything Davidoff. If you can't get 'em locally, stick around and participate. If we get to know you and trust you, there's all kinds of people here who will take care of what you want

Why - you standing in front of buses again, Sid?

Will echo GG on Davidoff - but if you're want something special for Vegas... stop by Casa Fuente in Vegas. You can get Davidoff at any B&M or mail order - some cigars in there you can't find anywhere else.
