Have been very interesteaded in trying a large variety of smokes. So ordered the ci brown bag sampler 10 difrent cigars for $25 figured what the hell good way to try new stuff. It came today i receaved the following.

1 fire triple fermented robusto with natural wrapper 4 3/4 x 50

1 Gurkha expedition robusto 4.7 x 50 natural wrapper

1 Leyenda cubana 6 x44 amaretto flavored

1 Masada 5.o x 48 robusto Dominican/Ecuador wrapper

1 Perdoma 02 6.0 x 43 Nicaraugaun exponente natural

1 slow-aged 826 6.0 x 52 conneticut natural wrapper with Nicarauguan filler

1 olivero gold series cognac 5 3/4 x 50

1 poros Indio #2 6 3/4 x 48 wrapper ecuadoren filler brazillian/jamacain/dominican/Nicaraugaun.

1 5 Vegas Gold aged 5yrs 7x50

1 indian tabac 7 1/2 x 52 Natural

I know my spelling is off on some of these but unfortanately im not a English instructor. i plan on attempting to review each of these as i smoke them havent tried any of these before. Checked on the internet seems like i got my moneys worth plus.
 
I've ordered the brown bag special a number of times with good results and no disappointment. The Gurkha Expedition, Perdomo 2, and the Indian Tabac natural seem to be staples as I have received them in every single order, not that this is a bad thing.
 
That sampler sounds like a pretty good deal. CI seems to have a lot of Gurkha's for specials and on CBid. They also have the best prices I've seen for them by far. Can anyone shed some light on this?
 
I always throw one in with any order i place with them...ive gotten probaly 5-6 brown bags in the last 6 months, everyone of them was MORE than worth the 25 bucks. They do seem to put alot of Indian Tabac and Gurkas in there, but thats a good thing! :D

Agreed, I've never had brown bag special not be worth more than the $25 price tag. It's definitely a good way to try a stick that you might not have otherwise bought, I've encountered a lot of nice surprises with these.
 
Instead of starting a new thread, thought i'd add to this one to keep the info in one place. I recieved a Brown Bag sampler today, a few goodies in it:

1 - El Compa, gigante 8.5 x 52
1 - Brocatus, churchill 7.0 x 50
1 - Gurkha Expedition, churchill 7.0 x 52
1 - Nestor Reserve Maduro, torpedo 6.5 x 54
1 - Cremosa Cubana, toro 6.0 x 50
1 - 5 Vegas, torpedo 6.0 x 54
1 - Conga Black Pearl, toro 6.0 x 50
1 - Indian Tabac Maduro, tomahawk (?) 6.0 x 52
1 - Perdomo Cantero, Perfecto Maduro 5.7 x 54
1 - REO, Robusto 5.0 x 52

I know the REO is great, I like Indian Tabac, and we just had a great review of the Gurkha. Also, i've been wanting to try the Nestor, Congo, any Perdomo, and others (tried the Gold, loved it) of the 5 Vegas line. So, overall, i'm pretty happy, a $20 well spent.
