There are two mild-medium cigars I would really like to try that I can't find in 5 or 10 packs, so I'm going to buy boxes.  If anyone is interested in some, let me know.

Ashton Cabinet #4 ($173 / box of 25 shipped)

and

Arturo Fuente Chateau Rothschild ($77 / box of 20 shipped)

If anyone wants any (or knows of a better deal), let me know.  I will order at the end of this week.  If nobody want any, well, I hope they're as good the reviews!

:biggrin:

Here is a link for 5pk's of the Ashton Cabinet #4 and 10pk's of the AF Rothschild's. Of course box price is still cheaper hope this helps.

Unfortunately Thompson is the only one I could find!

Thanks for the links!  I'll have to spend a little more time researching.

Unfortunately adding extra shipping on top from two different sites is really going to drive up the per stick price.  This will be my only cigar purchase for the month (not counting a couple splits here), so I don't really mind too much buying a box each if nobody is interested.

If this is the toughest decision I have all week, I'll consider it a good week!

I didn't dig too deep just threw a couple of options out there. I know CI had the #4's in a 5pk as well as a couple of other sites. You really have to dig around sometimes to find some especially in 5 or 10pk's. But hey they are BOTH good smokes that I think you will be happy with so I don't think a box purchase would be all that bad.

I would be interested in trading you for some of the Ashton's if you want to vary things a bit? Look over my last list of stuff I have up will be happy to weigh a trade in your favor to clear out some of the stuff on there. LMK if your interested.

You can get the Ashton Cabinet Belicosos 5.25 x 54 for $169bx and the Fuentes for $78bx...together would be free shipping...overall, about $2 cheaper:

That's a lot of sticks!

I would definitely be interested in any combination of the following:

La Perla Habana Black Pearl (Brazilian Maduro) Torpedo, HON (6.2 x 52, HON)
Angelenos Robusto, DR (5.2 x 50, DR)
Padilla Miami Edicion Limitada 2009, USA (5 x 50, USA)
Partagas Sabroso, DR (5.88 x 44, DR)

Thanks!  Thoughts on the differences between the 54 vs 46 RG?  Right around 50 is my preference normally, so they both are close.

Everything on there I either have more of that are not listed or I just haven't smoked them in over a year. So, pick anything you want they are all up for trade or sale. Most are at least a year old except some of the stuff I'm cutting out of boxes.

I prefer the #4 over the Belicoso but it's really all personal preference. I like the around 50 RG myself plus the Belicoso and Torpedo's do concentrate the flavor at the head but other than that your really just getting a 4.75" smoke with a 1/2" cap! But like I said personal preference.

Going from your prices, and $6.5 ea for the Ashtons, I'm thinking 2 of the Black Pearl's and 1 ea of the other 3 in return for 4 of the Ashtons?  If you wanted more, I'm definitely interested in more of the other 3 depending on whatever you want to trade.  Do you have any preference in the Belicoso vs #4

 

Edit:

See your preference!  I was kind of thinking the #4 as well, since I read somewhere that the smaller ring gauges help the wrapper flavor to stand out.

Although BnB does also have the Bluntville Grapes on sale!

I have to admit, I'm kind of a jerk sometimes and have been sorely tempted to buy a bunch of smokes like that and anonymously bomb people.

Not sure which Chateau Fuente Roth. your looking for (Maduro, Natural, Sungrown) but this place has the Maduro version on for $73 shipping included.

Definitely looking at natural for these.  I was considering the maduro or candela in the 858, but that will have to be another month!

Went ahead and placed the order (plus 3 pk sampler of Cohibas).
