    Have you ever made a significant cigar purchase without first having tried one of what you were buying? Definately not advised but I just pulled the trigger on something I have never tried (box of 12) YIKES....I just couldn't help myself........lol

    I just did that with the MOW Special Edition Figurado. Bought 10, but at an insane price...... Less than $5 per stick. Couldn't pass it up.

    Yeah, a box of Gurkha Grand Age, a box of Gurkha Warlord, the box of Tatuaje Red and Black, God of Fire. Nothing else comes to mind though.

    Mine was also MoW special edition. However, I'd tried the regular line as well as the Ruination line quite a bit first, so it wasn't a complete coin toss.

    Cause I'm still fairly fresh at this. I get a ton of sticks without knowing anything about them.
    So far I have seen great results.

    Yeah, especially when I was really new to the hobby. There's still a lot I haven't tried though. I've bought quite a bit from CCOM in terms of daily deals on stuff that I'm not familiar with. That said, I don't guess you can call those significant purchases, since the deals were so great.

    The only thing that comes to mind is RP I-press, They were not too bad. If I really like something, I'll buy multiple boxes of them. An example: A. Fernandez signatures - Went through 5 boxes of them, plus each box came with an 8 cigar flight sampler, lol.... Gurkha Microbatch S-2, 4 boxes...

    The first box I ever bought was a box of Oliva Series G maduro. When I bought that box I had never tried the cigar. It is still one of my favorites and I only have one left from the box. That was almost a year ago next month. Needless to say, I can't bring myself to smoke it! It was a little odd to throw $100 bucks and something you never tried before, but from what I read it was right up my alley. And it was!

    If the sampler & all that is as good as Alex has been saying count me in.

    I have yet to purchase a full box. It's been samplers and 5-packs for me. Commitment issues? Quite possibly.
