5 Vegas Limitada 2008

Has anyone ever bought a box of these? I was looking through the cigar brands and I never noticed the box that these come in. Do they really come in an ashtray shaped container? What is the container made of? It looks like plastic in the picture. And how are the cigars anyway? I can't help but notice that the 2009's cost almost twice as much as the 2008's. Are they twice as good?

That would make sense for the price. Anyone know about the box. I'm seriously considering buying this thing based solely on the box. I mean if we consider the ashtray is worth at least $30, and it definately is to me, that means I'd be getting 25 cigars for only $75. This all sounds like a pretty good deal to me, if the ashtray isn't a really thin plastic!

I've purchased a box, and it is ceramic, not plastic. As for the actual cigars, haven't actually lit one up yet. They do look quite tasty IMO.

Yeah I actually just got off a chat with Andy D., one of the reps for cigar.com and he assured me it was ceramic. Looks like a sure sell for me as I've been looking for a decent ashtray like that. I never noticed the "Live Help" in the top right corner of the main page for cigar.com. It's actually a pretty helpful little live help chat resource. Very nice!

it is ceramic and makes a great outdoor ahstray because the bottom is hollow, making it rain proof (I have a $30 padron ashtray that I left outside once and it took weeks to completely dry because the bottom has little felt pads with holes under them, so they pick up all the rain). I don't regret the investment at all and if I had the extra cash, I'd pick up another box. The presentation is beautiful. Oh, and the cigars are good too.

So I was trying to talk to my wife about the time frame in which it would be feasable to purchase the box of cigars, but before I could get anything out she said she didn't care and didn't want to hear about it. So I'm taking this as "do what you want and buy whatever you like!" Now all I have to do is wait around for a decent daily deal to add on and I'll get the free shipping and the free Gurkha Micro-Batch sampler.

if it does not interfere with your bills and its your money, i see no problem.

I'm thinking of getting a box (or 2) too. I had one a couple weeks ago and liked it, really liked it and just noticed the price.

These were the first box purchase I ever made, about a year ago. I use the ashtray almost daily (the bottom half of the box, not so much.) These are a great smoke especially with some time on them, they just keep getting better and better. I should pick up another box while I can - it's a good price even if it came in a regular box.

I'm jealous....you can't beat that deal...

Actually - you might have, with today's daily deal on the '08's. Of course, you wouldn't have gotten the cool box/ashtray...

Actually, I made this order about 30 minutes after midnight and I posted this right after. And I don't regret anything. The ashtray definately makes it worth every penny. I tried one of the Limitada's last night and loved it.
