strange brands in MT (elsewhere?)

[WOXOF]

Word of advice... don't buy cigars form a convenience store or a gas station. I wouldn't even buy them from a golf pro shop, bring your own. These are probably dog rockets in a pretty package. For $8 you can have a very good cigar, or 2 to 3 decent ones. If you're low on funds, buy some bundles from the sites BigPoppaPuff mentioned.

A wiseman once said that this forum is the "Deadwood of fucking cigar BB's". Try not to get fed to Mr. Wu's hogs. Stick around, read up, use the search function, and learn along with the rest of us.

Welcome from Canada, eh.


I must say, that was a very smooth diffusing of the situation *shakes hand* Usually things go from bad to worse when a thread starts out like that

Everytime I've seen one of those glass top boxes you showed in the pic - ANYWHERE (Golf Pro Shops, Convenience Stores, Hotel Gift Shops, etc.) I've seen nothing but overpriced cigars. Sometimes I've seen cigars I recognize at a 50-100% markup over MSRP - most other times they are cheap bundled cigars at a huge markup. Either way - many I've handled were pretty dry...

BPP made some great suggestions - I'd suggest you give them a try if you're serious about wanting to smoke decent cigars at decent prices. If you stick around for any length of time, I think you'll find most of the members here to be great people with a varying amount of good cigar knowledge. Some will be like you - fairly new to the game - others will have been smoking cigars for a LONG time (including those elusive and forbidden products of Fidel Castro).

And, on this board anyway, I really don't think you need to question what someone may say as being true or not - I assure you - if it's not true, you'll know...

And whatever you do, NEVER EVER EVER piss off Kevin!

I was up in your neck of the woods last week and noticed them at a shop in Yellowstone. I wasn't willing to fork over the $8-$10 they wanted for what appeared to be a very gimmacky package so I couldn't tell you if they were any good or not. Their website does have a working 'About Us' link which does appear to lend them some credit so I now regret not trying them. Give them a shot and let us know what you think. I may never make it back to Yellowstone but they just might make their way down here some day.

Welcome from the UK.

I make a point of only buying cigars from specialists (B&M or Internet), saves me spending money on shit.

Lets all play nice now

as far as net beatings go this was really mild. Good job for saying I'm sorry I don't know anything so quickly Bozone. Stick around it will teach you a lot. There is a lot of knowledge here and a really good group of guys. They'll watch your back and help you out if you need it, just don't turn into an asshat and you'll be fine.

I'm heading out for a 5-day river trip this afternoon. A couple of the other guys also smoke and are bringing travel humidors. I just bought a few robusto Dos Reinas ($5) to take along (I only have an 8-stick box, so I could only spare 3 slots). I'll let you know what I, and my more experienced buddies, think.

BPP, I did check out the sites you linked. The prices and selection look great--I'm sure I'll be trying them soon enough.
