Consuerga?

Years ago, when I used to post under the name of Big Jeff (I think?), there
was always talk of the Consuerga. Having a cigar budget of well over
$5000/yr, I am embarking on a crusade to save money. Help me Herfers, which
is the Connie purported to be like the ERDM Robusto Larga?

TIA,
Big Jeff.

Seems as though I misspelled Consuegra. Hmm. I always thought it was
Consuerga.

I also thought I was an atheist, because I don't believe in dogs.

Big Jeff.

Could be, I haven't bought any Connies in a long time. I'm still working
on a bundle of 9's I bought a couple years ago.

This makes no sense. That's 2.5 $5 cigars a day, plus gifts (snailer
available)!

Or do you mean that you formerly spent $5000 in a year, and are looking
to cut back?

Either way, it used to be fairly easy to tell which were which because
of the sizes, but JR's been "mixing 'em up" a bit, and including cigars
that are +/- a ring or two and +/- 1/2" or so, so now you can't tell, so
much.

Just use your secret decoder ring that you got in the box of Cracker Jack.

I will not, no matter how "good" the deal, patronise any business which sends

Perhaps I meant a "habit" of well over $5000 a year. Now that I think about
it, it's probably over $6000. I'd like to keep it under $3000. That means
more cheapies with the occasional box of Island smokes mixed in.

What kind of taste range are you looking for? I might have some alternatives
that fit the bill.

For $3000 a year you could smoke Cuban's every day. At a generous average
of $200 per box of 25 you can get 15 boxes for 375 cigars, more than one a
day. Throw in a few boxes of KDTs on sale and you can easily smoke 2 a day
all year for $3000.

How many cigars are you smoking a day?

I usually smoke two a day, more on the weekends. I don't often smoke small
cigars, so when you include shipping, I don't know where I can get Cubans
for $200 a box... What is your source?

Have you checked Ravi?
As long as you don't insist on Churchill size or Cohibas, you should be able
to find what tickles your fancy at the $200 mark (or less, depending on mode
of shipping).

I'm not sure when Demonick last bought Cubans, but the exchange rate is
truly painful for Americans these days. You *used* to get a box for $200,
easily ....
