Sampler Includes 15 Cigars
5 x CAO Black Gothic (6 x 52)
5 x Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Torpedo (6.15 x 52)
5 x Sol Cubano Torpedo Maduro (6.5 x 52)
This is a good deal. Normally you don’t see many torpedos on sale because they are one of the most popular size/shape, so they sell well on their own. That said, I will not be purchasing these because I’ve grown tired of CAO Blacks and Rocky Patel Vintages, as they have been in a lot of weekly specials lately (not just from cigar.com). Bottom line: while a little repetitive, this deal is still a good value. Recommended if you haven’t tried these gars yet.

Meh, this deal is average. Odd sizes. Decent smokes, but nothing really special.

I’ve had many a good smoke at Morro Rock… Good times.
Morro Bay Bans Smoking on its Beaches
City Council’s vote means visitors to the shore and to piers face fines of up to $1,000 for lighting up or for tossing cigarette butts.

This is a very different cigar compared to the rest of the Rocky Patel lineup. The construction is average and burn was good. The taste is distinctly mellow with a strong floral rose tone and hints of clove. After smoking 4 of these now, I’m not too impressed with them. There is bitter aftertaste to these that will keep me from buying them again.

Sampler Includes 20 Cigars, Cigar Jar Humidor & Cutter
5 x Gurkha Legend Robusto (6 x 50)
5 x Gurkha Regent Toro (6 x 50)
5 x Gurkha Centurian Perfecto (6 x 60)
5 x Gurkha Genghis Khan (6 x 50)
1 x Cigar Jar Humidor
1 x Cigar Cutter
Sure, the cutter and humidor jar are worthless, but 20 large Gurkha’s for $100.00? This is an insanely good deal. Easily one of the best ever. Kudos to cigar.com for showing its competitors what a deal is all about. (That said, I probably won’t be purchasing because my stock is full right now–though I’m sure I’ll regret missing this deal until it comes along again….)

Hate to judge sight unseen, but these have “crap gar” written all over them. And adding 5 additional crap gars hardly sweetens the deal. This is the worst deal in a long time. JR is really going downhill. I should stop giving them money until they come up with some good deals again….
