3 Packs Sleeves and singles

[jazzmonkey]

Hi,

I haven't tried a lot of brands, I was wondering if 3 Packs Sleeves or a couple of singles are a good option for sampling different types of cigars. If buying from the same vendor, are there more chances of getting fakes than a box?

I'm not implying the vendor would pass fakes, btw. Just a question from a noob.

Thanks.

In my opinion: Yes!

Get some singles from your "host" here at FOH. Rob, "The Czar" "El Presidente" can throw you together a sampler of what's smoking well, or what he thinks might fit your taste preferences. The last thing you need to worry about through him is fakes!

Thanks for the info.

I'd say singles are a good route. For me, I've had some issues with the 3-pack sleeves, with construction mainly. Have gotten a lot of bad quality cigars by buying those. Not tubos though, those are usually better condition.

I like the 15 packs ie 5 of the 3 packs. I buy my Montecristo #2 and Petite Edmundos this way. They seem to have more age on them.

I love the PE, they come in tubes. Grab one, put it in your pocket, and go.

All the 3 Packs I want to try are in tubes. I'm thinking to start with one pack of each:

Cohiba Siglo VI

H.Upmann Magnum 50

Hoyo Epicure NO.2

RyJ Short Churchill

Bolivar Tubos NO.2

Great choice for the Bolivar no. 2, that was one of the first Cubans I ever smoked. It's been a consistent smoke over the years and it's my go-to. Not too big, not too small. Love em, and the economical prices of them, too. Looks like some great choices! Enjoy!
