Viva Vegas Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 If you only had 500.00 to spend on cigars would you try to get a lot of cheaper cigars or a small amount of top shelf smokes. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPower Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Just $500 a day? Don’t think I could make it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 For me in that range it would be a couple of boxes of good quality or a few samplers if just starting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorPerfecto Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Easy. Wait for Monday and pick yourself out 2 nice boxes. Then take ya girl to dinner with the rest.#OutbackSteakhouse#NoRulesJustRight#BloominOnion#DifferentSetOfPlanets 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Not sure this is an answerable question unless we have a time frame... $500 free money right now? Maybe Trini Fundys and toss in a RG Perlas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stogieluver Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 If that’s all you have to spend, you have to go with quantity over quality. The difference in quality isn’t enough to cut drastically into my smoking opportunities. But that’s just me. I pretty much love most all CC’s. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPower Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 For real, I’d probably get a cab or two of fine Parti shorts or something like that. Smokable, ageable, and reliable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva Vegas Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 No my bank roll will be larger just curious how everyone would choose. I would try to buy more sticks , I like em all even the peso sticks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirds Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 You could buy several good boxes and a box of Quinteros to help fill in the gaps if you’re wanting to smoke more regularly. If you’re just looking to smoke on special occasions or a cigar a month, I’d make the most of it and buy the best you can find. I was pleasantly surprised by the Quintero’s Panetela. It was stronger than I expected and had a decent leather/wood/tobacco taste. It’s not a flavor bomb and won’t take you on a transitional journey but it could help you stretch $500 further and allow you to enjoy the CC experience more often. Find the flavors you like through samplers and then buy more of those. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a great CC. Good luck in your pursuit of the cigars that satisfy your personal preferences. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Trini Fundys and toss in a RG Perlas. Right when will I be able to buy cigars again? A month, a year? Answer would depend on this. If I had a windfall of $500 to spend on cigars right now until I get paid again? Box of medio siglos and a box of Bolivar PCs. But this is also contingent on what I'm currently lacking, so probably also not helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lomey Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'd get 2 quality boxes. Another cab of PLPC to age would be one of them.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampDelta369 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 In my complete limited experience on CCs it would be a Jesus Cab of Partagas Shorts. Spend the rest on pairs of sexy looking singles out the store. You would have a solid batting line up and Mr. Shorts would always be there to pinch hit when things go a foul. It’s all upside and by all means get a PerfectDraw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are resting comfortably and based on several of your comments/reviews, I’m really looking forward to trying them after a rest. You’ve got my hopes up and now I just need to get past the wait... Are they ready yet? Are they ready yet? Now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in quality isn’t enough to cut drastically into my smoking opportunities. But that’s just me. I pretty much love most all CC’s. Yes, what @stogieluver said. I mean it’s really a personal decision, but for me, I’m leaning towards variety and quantity. This gives more opportunities to experience a nice smoke, and almost all smokes are good. Incidentally, my most memorable smokes have been punctuated by everything from the lowest cost sticks, to medium cost, and highest cost. But at the same time if someone is interested in, say, a box of Cohiba something, maybe that would be the thing to do, plus either some singles, or a cheap and cheerful box or two. Sort of like all roads lead to enjoyment, there isn’t really a wrong way to spend it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Puffer Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Based on my tastes, I’d get a box each of SLR Regios and RASS (which both smoke great when young) and puts you at $433). That leaves you with $67 of assorted singles you could pick up. If by chance you didn’t like the Regios or RASS, I’m sure you could trade them on the trading forum. Those aren’t bottom shelf smokes by any stretch of the imagination But there’s no shortage of combinations to $500 that’ll get you 2-3 boxes of excellent smokes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astar20 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'd have to go with like a SLB of BBF or trinidad coloniales and then a box of RG Petit corona get 2 boxes of great smokes! If I bought a high shelf box I wouldn't touch it and I'd be buying it just to say I bought it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyxwvu44 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 RASS...JL2 and BPC. Might break $500 by a little but you could probably squeeze it on 24:24 clearance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar300 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 por larranaga montecarlos, 5 boxes if your lucky, while you make it through these 125 you will also appreciate what age does to a cigar. Also you will see the differences in taste from box to box. Alot of 'experience' for your dollar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayman17 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It’s up to your personal tastes, naturally. If I was limited to $500 I would grab a discounted box of Juan Lopez No. 2, a discounted box of Upmann Magnum 46, and a box of Bolivar PCs or a high grade ten count box of Lusitanias. Something along those lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Ten count boxes could get you a good variety of cigars. Lusitanias P2 Epicure Especial Mag 50 That will set you back about $525. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PigFish Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 Don't be embarrassed to play the penny slots! What does that mean? It means that on a forum where many may own tens of thousands in cigars, there is still room for the new guy. If you are not new, and your budget is modest, that is okay too. Shine on the 'big' player cigars. Look over the cheap and cheerful. Try some Partagas Chicos. The fact is, you don't have to be a high roller to smoke at a nice level if you don't mind the image of a puny cigar! I don't give a rat's posterior of what it may look like to others when I lite up a Chicos, a PC, or some other diminutive stick. What I care about is how it tastes. I am an advocate of making room for the entry level (cost) cigar. No one got be an old smoker without one time being a new, and perhaps even, low budget smoker! Enjoy your journey. $5... $500, $50K, we all start somewhere. Proudly smoke whatever you smoke!!! F' the image level cigars!
