Cohiba gift set

[Pwnstar590]

I did a Search but I got confused with the names for them. The set in question is this

I would like a new cigar cutter, and haven't tried any cohibas yet. My local B&M has this set for 55. Are the cohibas worth it or should I just buy a palio or the Xikar seperatley for less?

[guado]

You can get that same cutter(Xicar) for $30 or less at times.

It is a neat little pack. For you being so new I would probably just get the cutter seperately and spend the extra money dabbling into the different cigars to find your liking.

I was plannign on getting my beads and hygro for my cooler from Cigarmony after the holidays, so I'll jsut order a cutter there. That should put me at just over $100 and I'll get the 2 count otterbox for free. Woo.

Thanks for the help, I am trying something new tonight when I go bowling I think. The three I haven't tried yet (in my possesion) are the AF Rothschild, Padron 2000, and a CAO Gold. I also Have an Mx2, but I've had that before. Usually when I go to the Burning Leaf I try to get all new things. But I liked the Mx2 quite a bit an bought another.

What to smoke is the question.

I am already planning on the sampler thread once the holidays are through and people have the time. You have to be 21 for CBid, and I'm, well...not. so that kinda sucks. I pretty much can't buy online except for a couple stores.

OK ChefBoy.... take it easy..... Mark over at Cigarmony.com is a very stand up BOTL.... Herfed with him and shared a drink.... more than I can say for that Viper-dude....

[chefchris]

i said nothing negative about him nor his business. i've had experience with viper, as have many others on this board, and shared my good feedback with him. i believe i took it easy.

ChefChris,
What have your impressions of the cohiba's been? Have you smoked many? As a newb I would be interested to hear another newb's impression of them.

Not a problem, I'd like to know too.

I personally have not smoked one. I have two (ISOM) in my humi. From what I have read, they are more full in body, and being a newb, i'm still in the medium phase right now. I will smoke one soon, possible this week.

Another thing i have read is that Cohiba's are best aged as you will get a "grassy" taste if smoked to young. If you let them age, as with anything, it mellows and blends. I, cannot speak on this for myself, but read this from a trusted BOTL.

Plus, for the price, you could spread your money around alot better.

just my opinion.

Hey, Chris - You're fairly new to this whole cigar thing - and while your enthusiasm is great, you really gotta know a bit more about the community before you start pointing people in different directions.

Your advice is not necessarily all bad in this case (but obviously Tommy and I do see some holes in at). To me, it's kinda like a New Yorker who moves to Chicago, been there a week, and is giving out directions. It's just destined to go bad...

Nice reply, George. I thought it but didn't want to be the first to say it.

Chris, your enthusiasm is contagious and really welcome for a newbie. It's what this community does for newbies. But you do need to be careful as to what you say. Those just coming on the board don't know whether you are new to the board or the hobby. All they know is that you've been here longer than they have, and to a new smoker that makes you an expert. I have learned a lot in my time here but I still consider myself too new to cigar smoking to be giving out advice on what sticks people should smoke. And when I do write an article on something that might help others it is something I have experience with and/or have researched thoroughly.

Keep up the enthusiasm and keep up the newbie reviews. But remember there are plenty of folks here in a position to give out advice that has been gained over time through first hand experience. And they are very willing to share with us newbies.
