The tin combo

Any thoughts about the tin samples? Looks really good to me, but just a little bit expensive.

    Looks legit, the only one I haven't tried is the Padron. The Davidoff Nicaraguan is excellent. I think if you check the price of each tin and compare it to the sampler price it's a decent deal.

    I'd take a look except I don't know exactly what to look for. I did a search for "Tin Combo" on the main site but,......... What are we talkin' about exactly?

    It's a deal that was flashing on the front page amigo.

    Thanks Mikey. So I assume we are talkin' about this one.

    Looks good. I might try these for some drive time smokes.

    Good selection of small smokes.  I love the Padron Maduro Cortico.  Can't smoke 'em as fast as you naturally want to, though.  I suspect the rest are the same.  The Davidoff's look sexy and the others look pretty good.  I haven't smoked anything except the Padron in the past, though.  i just bought the sampler a while ago to get ready for winter and thought it was a good deal to try some different small cigars.

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

    I like cigarillos quite a bit. 

    I have tried: Camacho, RyJ red, Davidoff club, Davidoff Nicaraguan, Montecristo memories, La Perla black and tan, Alta Gracia panatela natural, as well as some gas station sticks. 

    I recently nabbed some Fuente cubanitos, and Cohiba red dots.

    Any of the name brand stuff is going to be good.

    Those Excaliburs are on my list.

    I must confess, the two Padron sticks I have smoked in my limited experience (>12 months) did not live up to the hype surrounding them. I am a skeptic of Casa Padron (apologies, and if I offend with my troglodyte opinion, double apologies!!).

    Not me. Last Padron I smoked was not what I hoped for. But those maduros have good flavor packed in a little form.

    I have had the padrons and they are a not too bad smoke for a quikie.  I cannot speak on the rest of them but those davidoff nicaraguans look tasty.

    Hoyo's were good...just tried one yesterday on the way in to work.  I have around a 15 minute drive and smoked slow.  Didn't even make it halfway through.  I was streeeeeetching it out, though and flavors were great.

    Bumping this one for the poor shlubs (like me) stuck in higher latitudes and looking for a quicker smoke these colder months.

    Had a Padron Corticos Maduro last night, smoked it slow (~45 mins, fugeddaboutit) and enjoyed the hell out of it.

    Bundle up! If you can, treat yo self and get a 'ball heater' as someone called them a while back (a propane radiant heater), snag a cortico, a splash of Blanton's, some music, and get your arse out for a smoke.
