anjimj Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Seeing them online for $567 / $22 per stick and wondering if these are really worth it? I was thinking of saving my money for a box, but also thinking I could get 2 boxes of something I really like e.g. JL2 and Mag 46. Is it worth the money?

Cigar Surgeon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I certainly thought / think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onsto Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Definitely. They aren't going to get any cheaper either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Have you tried them? Are you particularly fond of the size? If not, why take a crapshoot as expensive? Rarity, prestige and an extra band don't coat a palate… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafner32 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Love the size, love the flavors, love everything about them except the cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That's not a bad per stick cost. IMO they're excellent cigars. Even if they're not to your liking, I'm sure you can trade/sell them for cigars you enjoy more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I finally tried one and would definitely say not worth 22 a stick. Perhaps it was too wet it seemed but was okay. Without having another I would say get two or three boxes of grandiosos if you hate money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I like them, but as you said, able to buy 2 boxes of cigars you know you love = Sounds more logical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC4 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think it's definitely worth to try a few at that price. the whole box is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbibby Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Never had one, but from what I hear if you bought the whole box and didn't like them, it won't be too hard to get rid of them and get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC4 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'll take a few off your hands if you order a box and wanted to let go of a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Have you tried them? If not, why take a crapshoot as expensive? .......able to buy 2 boxes of cigars you know you love = Sounds more logical! I've not tried them myself, but there, in a nutshell, you have it. Really just thinking out loud - when you're enjoying a great Mag 46 or another fave, will you really feel like you've missed out on something by not springing for the La Es? It's great to try new things, go outside the comfort zone, so to speak - I guess it shouldn't become too much of a chore. If you tried them and loved them, I guess they'd be worth it. For me, nearly six bills for something untried, with no guarantee....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Festa Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Absolutely worth it. But I am biased, as it's an Italian regional and my surname is Festa, plus, I love lonsdales. And if you were lucky enough to pick up a jar, and the two boxes you needed to fill it with 30 sticks, then the second box, realistically, cost you half price. Either that or the jar was free.

Orion21 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I have a box and have smoked a couple. They are pretty amazing cigars. The "value" is debatable, but if you're willing to drop $500 on a box of cigars you hopefully aren't sweating it. My opinion is to buy. Smoke a few and if you don't like them you will have no issues selling them off' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnaube Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Been trying to get my hands on some for a while now. I would say that if you are interrested, grab em while you can. 22 dollars a stick seems expensive but sometime, it's worth it. I've heard a LOT of good things in them.

I can easily see these being a highly sought after cigar in five years time where the price will probably have doubled by then. I have a total of 12 boxes if that tells you anything. Plus a jar as well. Try them out. If you don't like them or can't justify the price, you'll have no problems selling or trading them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangolf18 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 They are good but I'd rather buy 2 boxes of BHK 52 for the same price. Even at $400 a box, I wouldn't buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Bought a box in Italy for $300 euros. Have to say these are not that high on my list but as a collector, it is important to have them in the catalog. At the $500 mark, there are others on my list. I am thinking about Claus's (lotusguy) jar collection and working up the guts for that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
