I'm curious about these too. Are these just Bolivar Coronas? If so I need to jump on them.

BTW, don't quote prices.

Boli Coronas are a nice cigar, discontinued in 2006. I love the 06s- strong & earthy as a Bolivar should be. From personal experience, I'd avoid 98-00. Looks for 06s & if you're lucky, 02s.

Thanks for the input. I have a buddy who ordered them and some Partagas Coronas, so I'll see what year he gets.

They are a typo, hehe.

I quit using these guys after getting alot of rejects from B and M stores at deep discount. I mean, that's what I THINK they most have been. They certainly look like em. Sure you get a discount, but when you get the cigars, you can see where every dollar you got off went.

Absolutely. The cheap stuff is usually crap. Beware if no box date is listed. Current stock is as good as anywhere else.

I take that one step further as I said...CHEAP AND CURRENT usually means ugly cigars or damaged packaging and cigars. BUT, IME, not bad tasting cigars at all. Just ugly.

What is funny to me is that the deals still CALL OUT to me, I check them every day, put stuff in the cart and then when it comes time to pay, I just close the browser. I have to shop, but I can't buy.

I hear that! Sometimes it's best not to look & avoid temptation. Smile

finally got them.they are Bolivar Coronas.however the box code has me baffled.

XNSU-VI-1.i know SU is 98.

the seal was old style 97x34 before change in 99.
the cigars themselves look fine. give them 28 days and then set fire to one.
