You have won $500 USD in a cigar scratchy! How are you spending it?

[El Presidente]

So you have won $500 USD on scratch ticket where the prize is paid in cigars. 

Boxes/Singles/Samplers/Non Cuban/Cuban

What Cigars are you buying or putting it towards?  

 

[Juniorp]

All towards mixed boxes of Cubans, specifically HdM Epicure 2s and Monte Petit Edmundo or a single full box. 

[moneyneversleeps]

Sancho Panza Belicoso and put them away for 5 years.

[MickVanWinkle]

If I were smart, whatever that day’s Price Sacrifice. (Though today’s JL1’s look enticing.)

Or buy down on a more expensive box that I’m trying to justify.

[Dlowil]

109 Linea D No 1. They have been epic.

[my happy place]

I haven't had the 109 Lineas yet, so can't speak to that. I'd maximize value and load up on multiple bundles of the Puro Desnudo Queen Coronas.

[Lucas Buck]

Two boxes of PLMC - I’m running low!

[mikejh]

One Behike?

[Rinze]

Box of 10 Lusis (still haven’t had one).

[JohnS]

A 10-count box of Quai d'Orsay No.52s.

[Li Bai]

If I could, I'd go for BR cigars but I can't, so I'd go for a box of Dip 2s or Qdo Coronas Claros.

[99call]

Some great calls here PLMC's, Sancho Beli's, and QDO 52.     

I'll go with my most recent purchase (which was not too far over the $500 mark). Namely, two boxes of Punch Coronations.

This is my choice, too. My dream selection (if I could get it) would be as many Upmann Mag 50s that the $ allocation/winnings could buy...

[ltte]

For me it's easy - quantity over quality so I would purchase as many JLP as possible.

[BrightonCorgi]

R&J Belicosos.  

[BG318]

Old Davidoff please.

[Goldeneye]

A couple singles of RyJ Churchill and CoRo, two cigars I would really like to try, a box of RASCC and whatever is left would be 5-packs of MOFOH Trinity.

[cnov]

I'd probably aim for a box of JL2 to age or throw in a touch more to get some Punch Punch.

I feel that $500 should be about where the cost of a decent box should have stopped on the way up.

Agreed. The price on Monte 2s I think bests displays this. I remember hesitating at buying a box when it hit the 400 mark. Now it's over double that. Simply absurd. 

Anyways, if I had a lotto $500 to spend, I'd probably put it towards some Sig III or CoRo. Makes the cost hurt a little less. 

[Montezüma]

Trinidad Esmeralda (12)

The point here is that its a scratch ticket, so to celebrate spending it like it ain't yours. The phrase "drive it like you stole it" comes to mid.

Wanted it to be a box of Maduro 5 but gutted to find out that USD500 will only get you the bands.

This is probably where I would go as well. That or a 1/4 box of CORO.

[Garand]

EL REY DEL MUNDO CHOIX SUPREME OR SAINT LUIS REY REGIOS!

[cigaraholic]

 Can’t you make it $1300? Those PL Lotus are on sale!

[dicko]

LCDH San Cristobal Prados - I've tried a couple and really liked them and don't have a box.

I still buy a couple singles here and there from local shops - nice to support small business, good to do what I can to keep the hobby / tradition alive here, etc etc. Probably what I’d use this for. 

The downside - below is what I’d be able to purchase: 

1No Monte 2 

1No Party P2 

1No Upmann 2

1No Rio Seco 

1No R&J Churchill 

1No Monte WE

1No HdM EE 

And that will be $493 please sir….
