I wanted to end the week with minimal cigar purchases. I just failed.
Thanks to my mortal enemy, Cigar Deal Hunters by Smoking Hub, I discovered a deal that reduces the price of a 20-count box by 57%. Damn.
Instead of paying $304.00, the box is $129.99. Damn.
So, I bought a box.
$6.50 per stick instead of $15.00.
It includes free shipping. No promo code is needed. Supply is limited.
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Jalapa Valley Corojo
Binder: Nicaraguan Jalapa
Filler: Nicaraguan Criollo 98 & Corojo 99
Size: 6.75 x 56 Salomon Diadema
Strength: Medium
Brooks Whittington of Halfwheel said this about the blend:
“After smoking my first HVC 500 Years Anniversary Salomon, I was more than a little surprised at the amount of strength that this vitola exhibits, especially when compared with the other size I have smoked in the line. Having said that, the first two thirds are full of distinct and complex flavors, including creamy cashews, cocoa nibs and cedar along with a wonderful cotton candy sweetness on the retrohale. Yes, the strength becomes overwhelming in the final third—which in turn throws off the balance—but even with that being the case, the first two thirds makes this one of the best blends I have smoked from HVC that I think will only get better with age.”
Best Cigar Prices has everyone beat on the HVC 500 Salomon. BCP is not a sponsor. I don’t reap a dime. But they’re solid. Just passing it forward.
