Alright. So what are the best deals on the page now?
Is this a trick question?
Ha. Nope. Just looking for the wisdom of folks that are familiar with more labels than me!
Most of the ones I have smoked are really not stellar deals, save for the La Traviata I mentioned, which seems pretty good.
The Hemingway's Tx brought up earlier are a great smoke @$4/stick. I honestly stopped looking when I hit the Laranja deal. Gotta keep it "relatively" in the budget.
If you let us know a few you like, we can eyeball a few for a deal somewhere. Otherwise, you'll end up getting deals and smoking what we like... which would't be a bad thing necessarily. Haha
Cigars I enjoyed around the early 2010s but haven't had lately:
DPG Blue
DPG JJ
RP Sungrown
GH 3 Siglos/3 SLS for a good cheapie knock-around
Camacho Pre-Emgargo
RP 1990 and 92
Some I've enjoyed lately:
La Traviata
Padilla 1932 black
RP Royal Vintage
601 blue
601 green
601 red
AB Tempus
AB Connie
AB Sungrown
Quite a range, really. My tastes probably aren't particularly refined, but there are definitely cigars I like more than others, and some I don't care for. Having had good experience with the GH 3 SLS years ago I bought a sampler recently, and have not been impressed--a little loose, hot burning, uneventful flavor. I enjoyed the Room 101 LMII PC at first, but the last couple have excited me less. I thought I liked the LGC, but bought some wavels and was not entirely excited; I must have had it confused for something different I smoked previously, but will revisit.
Man, hard for me to offer you much help, that is almost a list of my less than favorite smokes but that does not mean others should think that way at all. If you like 601's (I do like those)then you might try the LaBomba line. LaPalina a ththe Sister today should definitely be worth a try and that is a pretty good deal. Most folks enjoy the AF Hemmingway line and the Page has a few nice deals today.
Just a tip at no charge: These days Most of the advertised deals and daily deals are not very good deals at all even if they happen to be good cigars. From time to time the Mash will have a good deal or two on good smokes.
