You pick 2 CCOM

Renaissance_Man

Anybody done this offer by CCOM? What is a good combination? If it was all for $30 or at least with free shipping I would be all over it, but I am a little skeptical about it being a great deal now... Any insight?

To buy two of anything involved with that deal would cost you almost 100 bucks I'm sure. I mean, think about the fact that you can get a 20 ct. humidor and five cigars for $40. That humidor alone is thirty dollars here on CCOM. I'd say it's a very good deal, and I wish I had the money to get in on it.

I'd definately say the best value combination would be the Graycliff 5 pack and the Padilla Artisan 3 pack combination!

Graycliff doesn't really do it for me, and it's included in every variety sampler anyhow... I really do want to try the Artisan's though, they look magnificent, and they're based on the Habano blend, which I like a lot.

Just my .02, I would stay away from the lighter. I got one of those as a "spend blank amount and get this free" deal, and it really isn't that great of a lighter. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad about it, after all it was free. I just don't know if I would pay for one when you can get a Colibri that works better for around $7-10 and use your second option here to get more cigars or a humidor. If you are in the market for a small humidor for infused sticks or whatever, that seems like a pretty good deal.

This is what I was thinking: The Padilla sampler and the Camacho sampler - 10 great sticks for $40 seems pretty good...

If I were to do it, that would probably be the combo I would go with. Either that or substitue one of those fivers for the two pack of artisans.

Not one of the "pick two" deals, but a good one if you like Tabak Especials... just got the Tabak Especial Coffee to Go Sampler. Five Cafe con Leche belicosos and a 5-stick Herfador for $34; since a five pack of these runs just about that price it's like getting the $25 case almost free.

I have always wanted to try the Tabak Especials... Maybe I should get on this... How r they?

If you like a smoke with nice coffee flavors it's a nice one.

Not nearly as bad as the Isla Del Sol, Java, or some of the Naturals. I enjoy those sticks, but I know what you mean about the sugary-sweetened caps. The Tabaks aren't anywhere near that sweet, but they are a little.

Sure it's a good deal. I went with the Graycliffs and the Padillas...and then a box rp 08 to top it off.

Yeah, a little. The sweetened caps always taste more like sweet-n-low than sugar to me. I usually just give them a quick wipe with a damp towel to remove most of it. I don't know why the makers feel this is necessary... there's a lot of us that don't put sugar in our coffee.

Renaissance_Man

Never tried to wipe it off... Hm... I have always been afraid - does it really help? I wonder how they do it... Like - do they have the cigars done and then quickly dip them in some sweet solution or they sprinkle something... idk... its just damn too sweet sometimes...
