Title: Papas Fritas
Post by: uplander12ga on 02/08/2013 03:42 PM
OK, thanks to BX including a LP Papas Fritas in our last trade, I'm now hooked on them and must have more!  If anyone has an extra tin of them and wants to trade for them, hit me up!

Good luck with that one brotha. Most people have a problem buying
them in the first place, but It's possible that a brother on here can
hook you up! (Or you might consider purchasing a tin from Tim (podman)
when he gets them in stock. If you go ahead and join the mailing list on his
site. www.podmancigars.com  

Hope that helps! :)

I just joined his mailing list. I will keep an eye out for these when/if he gets them back in stock. I have only heard good things about them (except the price).   :smoker2:

I have had a few, and I will admit that it is a fantastic smoke, but I still don't feel the price is right on these puppies.  :-)  :-0

I am right there with you.  I have heard of a price that I would pay for two tins on the Monster but have yet to see it myself.

X2   I really think they are way overpriced. I've got 2 left out of the tin I bought and if I can't find them for an exceptional deal, I won't have any more.

Just out of curiosity, why are they overpriced?  Is it because they are mixed filler, or is it something else about the cigar?

I'm still on the lookout to pick some of these up on Joe's Jam.  $35 for two tins would be nice.

I paid right at $7 per stick tax and all. For what you get, that is high. $35 for two tins is not that bad

I paid B&M price for the tin I have.  I just do not feel that they are a $7+ cigar.  There are just too many good cigars that fall at or under that price for me to buy them.  Now at $35 for two tins I am in.  At just over $4 I feel they are priced about right.  Mixed filler in this case does not bother me.  They smoke like a long filler for the most part.  You know how I feel about the Casa Fernandez Arsenio.  It kind of skews my view of more expensive cigars.  They have to be really good for me to buy them in quantity.

2 tins for $35 is fair. I consider it a $4 stick, tops. That price makes it close...if freight is free!  :biggrin:

I agree - lots a good to great cigars for the same price.  Now if I could only catch them on the Jam.... :-(

Just picked up 2 tins yesterday for $43 and that's about the best deal I have seen (they are out of stock now). With all the good things I have heard about them I was willing to go $5.37ea but I'm with you guys that $7 is just too much.
