    Looks like a great deal. I like the concept of blindly getting 10. Gives you a chance to try some sticks you wouldn't ordinarily try.

    I'm skeptical. But I'm curious. If anybody gets one of these deals, please post pics.

    I'm betting there are two Gurkhas,....... minimum.

    Wife got me one as an add on to another gift. We got a vanilla Tatiana mixed in with the other cigars. I got a couple of different Torano's, a LaPerla, and some different Victor Sinclair.

    Photobucket won't upload the pic. Grrr.

    1 Torano Dominican 1 Torano Noventa 1 Hoyo Excalibur 1 Baccarat 1 La Aurora 1 Cusano 18 1 La Perla Habana 1 Victor S. Triple 1 Victor S. 555 Maddie 1 Tatiana Vanilla

    But what you get will vary. Expect similar ranged cigars, I imagine.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    Better than I expected. I may grab one of these if I buy anything else.

    I know. That Ana cigar was so dry it just crumbled in my mouth. That one flavored vanilla cigar sucked bad. Learned my lesson!

    If they paid me $20....I MIGHT consider it.

    The HDM and the Padilla were probably the best one out of each bag and I know it's only $20 but still a pretty loose use of the word Premium. For me would honestly rather get a fiver of something I knew I liked or had gotten some strong recommendations here for slightly more than what you get with something like this.

    I hope my wife learned her lesson. She likes flavored cigars but will stick to the CAO line after that Tatiana. I'm sure I'll smoke some of the others at some point, so they're probably worth a couple of bucks to me. But if I had a choice, this isn't how I'd spend $20.

    It's just great that you, like so many others here, have a wife that shares the hobby with you. Something like this though is more for when you're looking to find what you like but I just think using the work Premium in the title overshoots what it actually is.

    on a positive note... the more i think about it... 20 bucks for atleast handrolled cigars isnt bad. One could easily spend 20 bucks on machine mades! Its not a bad deal really, particularly if you have alot of moochers around. these are excellent give away sticks.

    Agreed on this. I came to update this thread because I did a short review on two of these sticks over in the ratings section. The La Perla Habana and the La Aurora both passed the test of being worthy enough to give away without causing embarrassment. They might even be good enough to smoke again, for myself. Certainly not overpriced at $2.
