Serves you right ordering from the hamburglar...

Someone has a real good buy on these right now. No idea of the quality, but at the price to me buying blind was worth the risk. Can always use them as dog walking cigars in the cold.

I know of where you speak, and at that price, I've convinced myself to try a few boxes as well. What I'm not convinced of is the other deals, as I've not tried those cigars before. Habaneros, PMF, HdM Palmas Extra. Any input? I'm looking for some good winter sticks as it is just starting to get cold here

I can only speak to the Palmas. They are OK for the money. Will take a while to smooth out. Sometimes they seem to have a rough edge. Sometimes they are enjoyable. Hit or miss.

I bought a box of Party MF about 3 years ago, stored them with 69 Boveda, and never really could get into them - this was when I used to smoke mostly NC.  (And lots of strong NC at that, Nicaraguan ligero and such.)  Now that I'm smoking more CC and switched to 65%, I've really been enjoying them.

I don't know if it was more the 3 years rest, the switching to a lower rh, just a matter of my palate developing a taste for CC's, or a combination of these things, but the current box price at that place is a good deal IMO.  I would have bought another box already if not for the fact that I currently have 6 boxes of other sticks in the mail...

I've also smoked a few of the Habaneros recently (2013 and 2014 box codes) and they're not bad, but for me it's worth a few extra bucks to get the MF.

Ok cool I'll prob go with them and try a box of RASCC since I haven't yet, with the Perlas. 50/50 on the Palmas Extras

I got these and posted some pictures In the Latest CC Purchase Forum.

I'm smoking an aged rascc right now that was traded to me. Holy crap, these are very good. I've had one before that wasnt aged and it was also good, but this one is knocking my socks off.

I just got two boxes of 4-5 yr old Perlas, waiting on one more box, as well as a box each of RyJ Petit Coronas, El Pricipe, and Palmas Extra. Winter may commence!
