Have you ever made a significant cigar purchase without first having tried one of what you were buying? Definately not advised but I just pulled the trigger on something I have never tried (box of 12) YIKES....I just couldn't help myself........lol

I just did that with the MOW Special Edition Figurado. Bought 10, but at an insane price...... Less than $5 per stick. Couldn't pass it up.Guns don't kill people, Daddies with pretty daughters do…..0

Yeah, a box of Gurkha Grand Age, a box of Gurkha Warlord, the box of Tatuaje Red and Black, God of Fire. Nothing else comes to mind though.0
-
Mine was also MoW special edition. However, I'd tried the regular line as well as the Ruination line quite a bit first, so it wasn't a complete coin toss.0
-
Cause I'm still fairly fresh at this. I get a ton of sticks without knowing anything about them.
So far I have seen great results.

Yeah, especially when I was really new to the hobby. There's still a lot I haven't tried though. I've bought quite a bit from CCOM in terms of daily deals on stuff that I'm not familiar with. That said, I don't guess you can call those significant purchases, since the deals were so great.0

The only thing that comes to mind is RP I-press, They were not too bad. If I really like something, I'll buy multiple boxes of them. An example: A. Fernandez signatures - Went through 5 boxes of them, plus each box came with an 8 cigar flight sampler, lol.... Gurkha Microbatch S-2, 4 boxes...0

I'm planning to when the MOW Virtue hits Ccom0

The first box I ever bought was a box of Oliva Series G maduro. When I bought that box I had never tried the cigar. It is still one of my favorites and I only have one left from the box. That was almost a year ago next month. Needless to say, I can't bring myself to smoke it! It was a little odd to throw $100 bucks and something you never tried before, but from what I read it was right up my alley. And it was!0

I sure have, most of the time it has worked out well.0

I have yet to purchase a full box. It's been samplers and 5-packs for me. Commitment issues? Quite possibly.0

Just bought an Ashton ESG never tried it. and I got a box of Olivia V maduros before I had ever tried them0

I too have yet to purchase a full box but I have bought a lot of samplers and DD's based on what I read here in the forums and taking into account my personal tastes.. I don't have a big enough humi to be buying boxes just yet but when I get my coolidor underway I will probably have to splurge and buy a few

I bought a box of Victor Sinclair 10th Anniversario cigars without ever having tried one. I had smoked their Connecticut Yankee (surprise, surprise) and I like it, so I pulled the trigger on the box because of the price at the time.0

^This.
I'd only had a couple sticks (local house blends) before I went somewhat nuts and bought a humi with accessories and had it stuffed full with sticks I've never had.
When I get around to making a 'significant' purchase, it will probably be of something I've had and enjoyed.0 -
just ordered the best of 2009 complete sampler after seeing how awesome and tasty the COTM cigars looked. I haven't even tried any of cotm's yet, since I'm going to let them rest a while, same with the sampler when it shows up. I'll just smoke the cigar.com house blend purple corona for a while... it's not a bad cigar (bought a box), again without trying first...compared to other cigars of a similar price, it's a good one.
I guess I like to live dangerously.
So I have no idea what experience I'm going to get from any of them, lol.

I bought a box of 06 dc god of fires before trying them. I never regretted it, but I have yet to have smoked all of them. I did buy another box of them though.0

mmm G O F I am on the lookout for one of these. It will be my next expensive cigar I buy that I have not tried0 -
i bought two boxes of Don Lucas two differant lines after sampling one cigar from one of the lines and I just purchased ten Sol cubano artisan salomon w/o trying hoping for the best. I know everyones taste is diff. but the reviews here really help.0

Early on I went for 4 5-packs of Diesels when they went on the DD before trying them. It turns out I really like'em, so that worked out. I bought a box (10 count) of Oliveros LTD before trying them, loved'em, then bought 2 more. I haven't spent any big money yet, but I'm sure there will be a day when it will happen. So far it has been working out well in almost every case.0
-
Yeah, several times at least. It's usually worked out fine. On the other hand.... anyone want some Bucanero Reds?0
-
I do this often (especially if it's a brand that I've had good experience with in the past. It's been hit and miss but the good thing is that u cam usually trade off sticks that u don't like to others that are interested in trying them.0
-
Yes on boxes of Diesel, AJ Signature, initial order of Decades. Other than that it is pretty much try 1 or 2 if I like them I buy more.0
-
It sucks there are two blends but both are good. I like the carols blend a bit more. I don't know how easy it is to still get the 06, but I know there is a 07 out now, which I might get as well. I need to know more about the blend though.The Cank:phobicsquirrel:I bought a box of 06 dc god of fires before trying them. I never regretted it, but I have yet to have smoked all of them.

As new as I am to this hobby, I have a feeling that there will be a lot of "blind buys" in my near future, especially with the great daily deals here...0

I'd recommend getting familiar with the reviews section, they have been a great source for me to make the call to blind buy or not on the DD's. It has worked out well in pretty much every case.docbp87:As new as I am to this hobby, I have a feeling that there will be a lot of "blind buys" in my near future, especially with the great daily deals here...0
