I was wondering how many samplers you more seasoned Aficionados buy and smoke before you actually buy a box.
I bought singles of potential candidates for my next box purchases on Saturday...didn't know if one is enough or not.
- San Cristobal la Punta (never tried this marca) - SLR Regios (have tried the SLR A) - Punch Punch (Have already had one that I actually loved, but that was long ago) - Montecristo Sublimes 2008 LE (aching for a box of 10)
Thanks a lot. coolfx
"You only have to spend $150 for a box of montecristo #4's? Holy crap, I got screwed in canada... I mean no vaseline, no kiss behind the ear, leave me high and dry screwed.
usually a fiver... or atleast a 3pack. For me, I have to give it a 3 strike rule.
Actually I had a monte sublimes 08... they were smoking really well. Aching for a box as well.
" . i put two boxes of cigars on the window sill and voila, the cigars became, well, "plump" within a few days. so far the plump damp cigars smoke "better" than the cool dry ones "

I've smoked only 1 and enjoyed it enough to buy a box especially if it's not that expensive. On the other end, I usually try to smoke 2-3 before I decide the cigar is not for me. But even that can be misleading, and sometimes it's worth to revisit.

In heaven there ain't no beer, that's why I drink it here.
I usually have to get well into a box before I decide if I like a cigar. The ones I don't like, I give to one of the two sons, they smoke anything when is free.

Actually my first cuban I've ever smoked was a Monte No. 4 from my first box and I then bought a box of PSD 4's all based on recommendation's on this board and without every trying them.
I haven't been let down by you guys yet!
I bought a 5er of Siglo III but that's just for cost reasons, not for I didn't want a box.
If one's good I pull the trigger, but if it's not I'll revist it in a few months (after 2 or 3 'bad' ones it's a write-off). I have also bought a box without sampling as well...

I also bought a box of Monte #4's without ever smoking one. I had only smoked one or two CC's prior to that. I trusted what the experienced guys here post. And I've not been disappointed yet either.
