armmmmm Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 There has been numerous discussions on what cigars people would never buy blind and for the most part it's the usual suspects. What I want to know is which cigars, if any, you would buy blind with confidence?
Bulldog4 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 havent had a bad bolivar corona junior yet recent boxes tho
Popular Post potpest Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2014 I buy everything blind with confidence. 6
soutso Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 My general observation is that all smaller, thinner guage cigars are consistently good. From the international price list I tend to look at cigars weighing 8.46 grams or less
Hafner32 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I buy everything blind with confidence. That is a very good answer!!!
garbandz Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I always buy with confidence.Sometimes I am disappointed.......
Scott08 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I learned my lessons early on and only buy from our host so that I don't have to worry. With the reviews and recommendations I have always been happy with my purchases.
Newkarian Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Every box of RA superiores ive bought recently has been perfect. All bought blind by ppl muleing them to me. 1
GodofFire Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I have never bought any bad BCJ, BPC or Partagas Shorts blind. Always been good from a couple different vendors even.
mrsgucia Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 12:12:12 I would. Depends on where are you buying... buying blind means buying into beetles in Cuba. I have tried that in the past.
Rye Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 We are lucky that Rob offers us all this exact information on a month to month basis as quality really varies from year to year, or batch to batch even. Read his comments on each cigar and he fully discloses the trends he sees. Now being across the globe, I've noticed sometimes the trends are different locally and what might be crap in Asia pacific may be good in Canada, and vise versa 1
Maplepie Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Piedras. Quinteros. Errrr- Frank? Is that a joke?I personally don't think so as aged and ROTT Quinteros, Troyas, JlPs, and RGs is all I've been smoking for the past month. Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk
ramon_cojones Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Stuff that isn't produced in the numbers like d4, mc2, mc4 and such. Of course there is never any guarantee you are going to get a great box even if you have a good code.

sw15825 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I think there was a thread on this not too long ago, but it got off track with some of us giving silly answers on what actually defines "Buying Blind". I was one of the silly ones, but I feel there are different levels of buying blind. For example I have 2 very trusted merchants that I use most often. I dont think twice about buying at FOH and my other source, that even Rob gives 2 thubs up. So I don't consider Anything that I purchase from them as Buying "Blind". So to sum it up its not What you will buy blind its Where you will buy blind. If you are not sure place a small test order and see how it all goes. The quality and condition, shipping and customer service. 2
Sophistic Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 another one for the bolivar pc. good young, good old, always distinctively bolivar. 1
Maplepie Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 A box of Cohiba Clubs! HA HA Hopefuly none! you know... funny you mention those. I swear they're made of the scraps of Cohibas. some from the same box have tasted like a young final third of a siglo VI. Others have tasted like a blissful lancero. One I had... I swear it was made of the scraps from the cohiba gran reserva
El Presidente Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 From the hip cigars that have been above average for the last 6 months (6 + shipments) Cohiba Siglo VI (25's) Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona Partagas Shorts Boli PC Punch DC Quai D'Orsay Imperiales Upmann Magnum 50 (25's or 10's) San Cristobal Fuerza San Cristobal Morro Partagas 898 RASS 50 cabs Upmann Half Corona Partagas Lusitania SLR Serie A Upmann Connie A 1
Bartolomeo Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Demi Tasse HUHC JL 1 SCDH Serie A All have been good to me blind off the top of my head
ramon_cojones Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 rob what do you think about current hdm dc for me who likes ra, partagas, cohiba, qdo, upmann and generally dislikes ryj, punch and hdm? I do enjoy du gourmets when they're not plugged, plmc, epi de luxe but not a huge fan of epi 2 and such. They look great but it's a huge purchase I would never commit to.
armmmmm Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 I've been having some shipping difficulties so, OLH it is. May need to get a few boxes in the mean time to pass out cigars when my son is born in Dec/Jan (first baby so anxiously waiting). Will buy based on all your suggestions. Thank you all for your input.
