Title: Holts Nocturnal Beasts
Post by: sweatsock on 11/27/2019 11:55 AM
This shown as a special but  the regular price is $79.95. MSRP is $244 and the sale price is  $78.99 with free shipping. I like all the cigars in this sampler.  I last bought at $69.95 7 months ago  and have been waiting for the same price.

While they make a good, not great (IMO) cigar I feel the brand has fallen in status for a lot of smokers who now look to cigars like Tats, Warped, HVC, and many other boutiques.

I'm a bargain smoker and buy very few boutiques. I like Oliva as seconds at around $2 and buy a lot of them. I occasionally buy firsts just to compare against the seconds.
Holts seems to be the only vendor I've found offering the Monticello so this sampler is a good fit. I buy some boutiques when at deep discount as a benchmark against my regular smokes. I've been smoking through a 50 ct box of Room 101 master collection 3 and really enjoying them.

Ditto on the 2nds and also on the Monticello.  The latter is the best Oliva blend I've tried thus far and this sampler is an inexpensive way to get those sticks as they typically go for quite a bit more than the sampler price.
