[Gathering Interest] Cigar Box Pass (12 Viewers)

[FestiveKnight]

Are the sticks in a tupperware with boveda packs inside the envelope and box?

They’re in a boveda bag with a small pack. With 12 sticks I didn’t think it made sense yet to add a tupperdor (sticks would move around a lot?) but we can definitely head that route. What do others think?

 

[FestiveKnight]

I actually took pictures unboxing because I thought they were chips.

Boveda, not teriyaki jerky was used.

This is exactly how I also packed the box pass

Eh, we know it wont be perfect; they will heat up either way while shipping, we know that. Think this is alright.

Yea as long as they’re packed well with some humidification they’ll be good. I just know that as it grows in size we might want to upgrade.

 

[FestiveKnight]

@Jonesey07 do we have touch down?

 

[Jonesey07]

Hmmm what’s this?

Should I leave the rest a secret? I gotta go shopping tomorrow and hope I can convince the wife to mail the box out while I’m out of town.

Great pulls! Why don’t you go ahead and the photo/list of the rest but you can keep your put secret for the next guy to reveal

For those that don’t know. That LGC is a Medaille D’or No.4. It’s a Netherlands exclusive I bought a box of back in 2019 and they are my favorite CC. Smooth, sweet, some slight hay.

La Nox speaks for itself. I think this is one of the the best LFD, second only to the bull.

La Palina is a small bit old brand originally from Chicago that has a few sticks I really like. The Mr Sam (named after the founder, IIRC) has always treated me well.

Y’all see that the sticks definitely vary in price/style a bit. Hopefully there’s something in there for everyone + it’ll evolve a lot with what everyone else puts in. I will say a couple sticks that you can find closer to $10/$11 sneaked in but there’s also at least one stick that MSRPs around $30 so it’s a mix.

Depending how crazy CC prices have gotten (I desperately try not to notice) those are probably up there but the Anastasia Igor is $30 a pop

It's wild how much they've increased in price.

@Jonesey07 I know you’re at DiD but when you’ve got a sec, hit us with some deets on what you put in!

There’s one there I don’t know! And adding an AF to the mix was definitely necessary

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

My pulls! Two amazing looking cigars, very excited to try them. Wanted to take the Guardian of the Farm but thats already one of my favorites, I want someone else to enjoy that one. Go Dawgs!

Two very solid picks. I think the MF blends really really shine in the Lancero format (why I included two in here) and if you’ve not had Plasencia you’re in for a treat. Solid solid stick.

Very excited! Trying to branch out; loved robustos mostly but I think thats just the beginner thoughts of wanting more. Looking to enjoy something slower.

I’ve slowly come back around tomorrow toros as my go to but for a long while lanceros were really the perfect spot for me.

You get a really wonderful condensed exposure to the flavor profile of the wrapper, you have to smoke very slowly and intentionally, there’s a delicateness. I love em

I never liked a robusto, I smoke too fast

 

[chippitydoodah]

I agree. I was hooked on big 6 x 60's but now I'm more comfortable in the 46 - 50 range. The wrapper is the star anyway so why not get a better percentage of it in the stick.

 

[nlhenerd]

Any chance I can still get in on this? And uhhh... anyone willing to vouch?
