RLinNH Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Anyone here bought a box? If so, do you think that the cigars were worth the price of admission?

cvm4 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 You should wait until you're sober ;-) admisslion :-P
Colt45 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 When you really think about it - what does six hundred dollars mean? I've been thinking about this lately, and I wonder if we really stop and think about it at all.....
DavenportESQ Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 » YES I have the 02 version, and only have smoked 1. The pyramid. I thought it was really good and very different from any other Cohiba I have smoked
Jay Hemingway Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 never had any of these, yet. thought about grabbing a box a few times. i need to make money first in order to do that .

I think they are if you have the disposable income. We all have different budgets. 30 cigars or three boxes of something else. Comes down to what you are looking for ;-)

Matter of fact, I almost wet myslef last night while smoking one of the Estupendos from Ramon Allone. Yup, only 2 yrs. old, and it was THAT GOOD. Screw it, I'm pulling the trigger on these.
BigSlick Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Got an early 03 box a couple of years ago for my anniversary. Smoke one every year in November. Media Corona 2 years ago was good, the Robusto last year was a top 5 smoke. Might smoke an Esplendido this year. If I had an expendable $600 I would buy another box. My .02 TD
kyee Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 $600 for the '02 release is a great deal. Buy them! if '03, then not so good. The original release ones are smoking a lot better than the later release.
brian1 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Yes, these are such sleepers. People have overlooked these for years and the are superb. Without a doubt the best Cohibas I have ever smoked. People will be wondering in years to come why they never picked these up when they were easily available. A must buy IMHO.
Van55 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I split a box with a friend back when they were first released and a vendor put them on Christmas special for, as I reacall, about $450.00. I have been disappointed. The Eplendidos were freaking tent pegs. Unsmokable. The others, decent enough cigars but overpriced for what you get, at least for my budget and taste.
audio1der Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Money better spent on more Estupendos, IMO. +1 Have not tried the Cohibas, but am fortunate to have a box of Estupendos from a certain down-under vendor Un-freaking-beleivable how good they are.
cryinlicks Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 i really like these, and if you figure out the cost of each stick currently, the seleccion are the same price. i'm smoking through an jan/03 box now, and they are great. you're getting some nicely aged cohibas for the price of new ones. i'm assuming the box cost is $550.
PigFish Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I will have to step up in agreement with Van again on this one. I never bought the original release; same excuse for me, I hate EL's! I did lay down when they stopped selling and some outlets had them around $400. I don't remember the price that I paid actually but I remember it was less than a box of S-6's at the time. I think there are some good and some bad like all CC's. I would consider buying the '02's at the $200 price point; that is about what I think of them!
