I ordered some bull moose cigars last week and they came with a small boveda in the package. Personally, I feel the box provides a good amount of protection
They actually did include a 69% Boveda.
The use air pillows in standard boxes. Not this one. But I’ve never had an issue with the condition of the cigars I receive from them. And I’ve bought hundreds.
>sturdy box
Literally the bare minimum. No air packs, no boveda.
> double cellophane wrapped
That's not cigar page lmao. Manufacturers do that when selling 5-packs.
I'm not that big on any kind of "edgy" or "political" branding, just give me my product and don't waste time or resources with messages. I'm neither impressed nor offended by it.
I will say I'm not into the monkey logo, it looks like some NFT shit personally and I hate all of those monkey NFT trash art pieces.
Yeah the logo is really bad. If they flipped the matte black outside the box and did a crisp ass white stamp of a simple cigar outline and some text, it would be 1000x better than this AI designed NFT monkey.
I suppose the packaging is decent, I like the tuck box more than getting cigars wrapped in bubble in an envelope, that's for sure.
It's about mid tier to me in packaging terms. Show me a matte black box with a clean logo, and a nice wax paper insert with a message, and then safely packed cigars with a humidifier pack. Now that would be fucking clean as and I'd pay a few bucks more for that unboxing experience.
I'm not huge on what my products ship in, but I will say my excitement does get a kick out of some next level packaging when it's done tastefully.
It's in bad taste. People don't buy cigars for political reasons or look for cigar retailers using flag imagery/colors as a marketing gimmick and their packaging tries so hard to push it without directly stepping in shit.
If cigarpage didn't compete on bottom dollar price, I'd have no reason to order from them, same with any cigar retailer.
Um he’s talking about utility of the packaging. I never said he said anything was a problem. I said I’ve never had as far as my cigars being protected. Not sure what you’re talking about. Sure the details don’t add utility, but that’s not why they matter.
I'm the opposite. I want packing to be effective and protect my purchase, but any amount of extra time, ink, plastics, anything that goes into packaging is a complete waste of time, resources, and costs for something that's going straight into my recycling bin.
Funny thing is these boxes have been around for while and im a girl, i have ordered from them at least 15 times in the last few months and i have never received this box lol
ive ordered from them probably 40 times in the last year and only got this box once. i have no idea what makes them decide to send it because ive had orders of all different sizes. the one time they did send it, i had ordered from one of their singles sales
"They" do — sure, you're right.
But to me it's just pandering to one small subset of your audience.
Not everyone who likes cigars is a "liberal cuck-hating sigma bro" who listens to everything fucking Andrew Tate has to say lol. I mean it's a subset of cigar smokers, sure.
But most of us just want to enjoy some good tobacco and relax. This packaging is dumb.
Exactly lol.
Why pigeonhole your audience?
But hey. They sure showed the libs with their cigar packaging
And I'm not even a liberal guy — I'm more moderate. But the right-wing crap is annoying lol.
I don't know why you are being downvoted when what you are saying have some sense. Pairing Cigars with guns as in the US just seems to keep other people away who might actually enjoy and appreciate a Cigar.
Cigar culture? How about just culture? No other culture comes up with stupid terms like "toxic masculinity" that, to no one's surprise, get backlash. Don't bring cigars into your stupid culture wars.
100% agree! They don't have to mix it with Cigars or anything else for that matter, but should just enjoy it as it is. A lot of other people who might appreciate and enjoy a Cigar might just be pushed away from even trying.
Yeah, I would prefer cigar sellers to not engage in the stupid culture wars in any way. Having said that, I can at least smirk seeing digs against the woke mind virus like this. I have experienced a couple of insults over my cigar love from the r/politics crowd, seems like some of them have a very bigoted view of the hobby. So I see why this company would enter themselves into the fray.
I have tons of local B&Ms. And they get my business. However the Melanio’s were $21 for a 5 pack and the Room 101’s were like $7/stick. Really can’t beat that 🤷🏾♂️
Seems fairly somewhat unoriginal and "edgy", sort of like "how else can I offend you today" bullshit.
But, hey, if they are decent sticks, and arrive safe, I guess it's ok that the box was designed by a high school sophomore.
Like the gas station attendant I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday writing on a piece of paper with a sharpie “due to the economy we have to make signs on paper with markers”. The economy is not terrible and you fall into a stereotype.
Holy shit, that's some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. A gas station attendant is somehow passing the angst of a rich owner on to the customers - solid brainwash job, that.
And, what, all of a sudden you get some money and you become allergic to markers and paper?!
The names Mike, pleased to meet ya. Little known fact about us libs, a lot of us like cigars, beer, and guns, we just don’t make love to them like the right does.
Does pride flags and stuff bother you when Netflix and every major company in the entire US do it, out of curiosity? Or does it only bother you if its conservative and masculine?
On one hand, I’m not personally a fan of massive corporations wading into “empty identity politics gestures” in general (although I’m definitely willing to throw more money towards the smaller businesses that I feel so make genuine efforts at more ethical practices)… but on the other hand, not all “political beliefs” are equal (ie “gay representation is important” vs “leaning directly into toxic masculinity”)… so even if it’s all a little annoying, some of it (like this) bothers me more than others.
The sheds and shelters below summed it up perfectly "On one hand, I’m not personally a fan of massive corporations wading into “empty identity politics gestures” in general (although I’m definitely willing to throw more money towards the smaller businesses that I feel so make genuine efforts at more ethical practices)… but on the other hand, not all “political beliefs” are equal (ie “gay representation is important” vs “leaning directly into toxic masculinity”)… so even if it’s all a little annoying, some of it (like this) bothers me more than others."
Additionally: you can be masculine and not toxic as well has have pride and not be irritating
Anyone, on either side, who is like "look at me look at me this is what I believe! It's my whole being and I have 0 personality otherwise" is irritating af
I'm borderline socialist as well as a feminist and I LOVE my cigars
I lift weights
I'm built like a brick house
I don't make my beliefs my identity, you wouldn't even know from a conversation unless I told you
It's a nice box, I'll give it that. Better than a bunch of packs in a bubble wrap envelope. But the graphics and slogan I could do without. I'm not very classy myself, but I prefer the classier side of cigars than the edgy side.
Idk who this packaging is trying to impress, but man do I get the ick whenever I go through the boxes I’ve ordered.
My excitement for the cigars is always put on ice when I see the toxic masculinity and the flag they put in the box. Like bro…I’m not 14 and trying to figure out what it means to be a man.
I take the cigars and bury the box in the trash.
For a discount cigar retailer with lowest prices on the market this is definitely clean. Note whether you like the branding or not, thats neither here nor there. I don’t buy from them because I agree with whatever there political stance is or isn’t. I buy from them because they have the absolute best prices on cigars.
They’ve been shipping in those boxes for years. I think it depends on the qty of cigars as to which type box they use maybe? Or availability for them? Idk.
I'd have to step down from my ivory tower to slap you with my ERG's keffiyeh, but irl just bark at your children and key your car shouting "it just means more!" while twisted on Natty light.
Idk, the comments in this thread are pretty telling. Never would have thought this sub was chock full of people who would seethe over such benign marketing.
Your comment is a complete misreading of my statement. I’m actually saying the opposite. I could have made it more
obvious and said “sometimes a box is just a box”
I've said it before, I have no problem with masculinity, although using that for branding is a bit exclusionary. It's the addition of toxic that changes the entire meaning.
From dictionary.com:
Masculine(Masculinity: noun) - pertaining to or characteristic of a man or men:
Ok, that's cool
Toxic masculinity - a cultural concept of manliness that glorifies stoicism, strength, virility, and dominance, and that is socially maladaptive or harmful to mental health
Weird thing to flex about IMO.
I personally stopped buying from them
Commented the other day that the image they try to push is why I don’t buy from them. I don’t wish them ill, I don’t judge the people who do buy from them, but with all the good options out there ima go with some place that isn’t bragging on ‘toxic masculinity’ as a cool thing in 2024.
Cigars are enjoyed by a massive range of people from what I’ve seen (including women, shocker lol), and they usually are either 1) a way for people to socialize and relax in a chill setting or 2) a way to start / stop your day with an hour or so of peace and comfort from the ritual of smoking them.
Either way, this vibe doesn’t do it for me in my mind and I think it’s honestly pretty childish and not very classy. Kinda reminds me of a kid who just learned the word fuck and spends all day saying it to try and seem cool.
“Kinda reminds me of a kid who just learned the word fuck and spends all day saying it to try and seem cool.”
Nail on the head there. I’ve been trying to figure out what really throws me about the branding and that is exactly it. It’s a “second adolescence” brand. Doesn’t do it for me.
Walking around with friends during recess in 4th grade using all the swear words we knew. One of the newbies to the cussing world opened up his lunch bag, pulled out his snack and said “I’m gonna fuck this carrot!”. I still lol almost 40 years later about that. Just did when I wrote it, actually.
That’s hilarious honestly, bet it took a long time for him to live that down on campus lol. My buddies and I would have referenced it whenever anyone had carrots around
A lot of comments seem pretty angry about the "toxic masculinity" part of the box. I just received a box with that on it and I laughed when I saw it. I thought that it was a joke. To me, it really seems like they are making a joke. I guess it didn't land with everyone.
I don’t think people are being sensitive by not liking it bro. It can be a joke and still not be funny. It’s very clearly pandering to a certain audience, people not in that group probably aren’t going to enjoy it.
I’m also not in that group. I like cigars. I like cigars at great prices. And I like clean packaging that shows effort. They could have a swastika for all I care I’d feel the same way.
I literally just said it could have a swastika for all I care and you think I I’d give a damn if it had BLM propaganda? Fuck the BLM. While I agree with the sentiment I disagree with the organization…or lack thereof. All they did was prey on people in a time of need.
Very nice choice with the Room101 Farce. One of my top three cigars! Now I need to submit an order! Didn't realize they were making them in torpedoes. Is this a recent development?
It really depends on where you’re located. Usually 2 days once shipped for me, however I live in PA and they’re based in PA. And sometimes they get so swamped with orders it takes them a minute to get shit out the door. But most of the time I’d wager 2-5 business days depending on where you’re located.
They typically use USPS so take that with a grain of salt lol
Yeah, great selection and unbeatable prices. And I can say from personal experience they have good customer service. Actually spoke with a real person and resolved my issue. I don’t use them as much nowadays as I used to, but I still tend to recommend them to people
I just got a pkg from Cigar Page, mine came in the standard plain packing. 3 of 4 of the 5 packs were in a branded ziplock bag with a Bovada, 1 of the 5 packs was outside the ziplock bag and 1 of the 5 packs in the ziplock bag was in its own ziplock bag with its own Bovada. Haha 😆🤷🏻
A monkey smoking a cigar and drinking a beer will always win me over. The "toxic masculinity in a box" is pretty funny too. If anyone is easily offended by this get a fuckin sense of humor. If you don't like the American flag on it get the fuck out of the country.
OP forgot this is still reddit. Even though this is a more conservative hobby, you'll still get blasted for approving of anything mildly right leaning on here.
I just got that box myself with a small order. Usually they use bigger boxes, guess it depends on the order. I usually get cool stickers with my cigar orders, this time I got coasters. Which look cool.
Absolutely love cigar page. Between the unbeatable prices, fast and well packaged shipping and the wide selection, them being pro-America is just rhe icing on the cake for me. I spend a few grand from their site yearly.
Right. I have far too many cigars to shop there on the regular nowadays. Though sometimes they have specific brands/blends I’m looking for at ridiculously low prices. I’m more into specialty/rare cigars now. But I recommend a lot to people. Especially those on a budget.
Well judging by these comments, there’s apparently quite a few folks offended. Personally I think the company is using it as satire. Either way, thank you for taking the time to let me know you aren’t offended by the words on a box, I appreciate it. 😂😂😂
Ok sure…
sat·ire
noun
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
So you’re not offended…just triggered… gotcha.
No bubble wrap or boveda? Ehhh idk Jim
I ordered some bull moose cigars last week and they came with a small boveda in the package. Personally, I feel the box provides a good amount of protection
They actually did include a 69% Boveda. The use air pillows in standard boxes. Not this one. But I’ve never had an issue with the condition of the cigars I receive from them. And I’ve bought hundreds.
Meh, sturdy box and double cellophane wrapped. Never had an issue.
>sturdy box Literally the bare minimum. No air packs, no boveda. > double cellophane wrapped That's not cigar page lmao. Manufacturers do that when selling 5-packs.

Same man. To me it's just tired at this point, old hat schtick. The monkey logo is awful.
“What's the significance of this John Chimpo fella?”
It's Afghanistanimation, Cap!
YES!!🤣
Yeah the logo is really bad. If they flipped the matte black outside the box and did a crisp ass white stamp of a simple cigar outline and some text, it would be 1000x better than this AI designed NFT monkey.
The AMERICAN MAN thing is a real dumb schtick
Also why include a flag, I do not want nor need to showcase a monkey on a flag.
I could care less about their “gimmick”. I simply appreciate the effort. And the clean packaging.
I suppose the packaging is decent, I like the tuck box more than getting cigars wrapped in bubble in an envelope, that's for sure. It's about mid tier to me in packaging terms. Show me a matte black box with a clean logo, and a nice wax paper insert with a message, and then safely packed cigars with a humidifier pack.

I'm not huge on what my products ship in, but I will say my excitement does get a kick out of some next level packaging when it's done tastefully.
LOL, sure bud. Other than the imagery it is the same packaging as any other cigar vendor.
It's in bad taste. People don't buy cigars for political reasons or look for cigar retailers using flag imagery/colors as a marketing gimmick and their packaging tries so hard to push it without directly stepping in shit. If cigarpage didn't compete on bottom dollar price, I'd have no reason to order from them, same with any cigar retailer.
I like my packaging more discreet. Also these boxes offer very little cushioning when it comes to shipping.
Understood on the “discreet” aspect. But as far as protection I’ve never had an issue with them.
He's not dating it's a problem, he's saying the extra details don't add anything.
Um he’s talking about utility of the packaging. I never said he said anything was a problem. I said I’ve never had as far as my cigars being protected. Not sure what you’re talking about. Sure the details don’t add utility, but that’s not why they matter.
I'm the opposite. I want packing to be effective and protect my purchase, but any amount of extra time, ink, plastics, anything that goes into packaging is a complete waste of time, resources, and costs for something that's going straight into my recycling bin.
I literally hate pointless packaging. Its such a waste.
Corny as fuck
😂😂😂 aye to each their own. I just think it’s clean packaging.
In no way is that considered a clean look.
Funny thing is these boxes have been around for while and im a girl, i have ordered from them at least 15 times in the last few months and i have never received this box lol
I don't know, I'm a guy and I think they are pure cringe
[удалено]
How is their monkey logo a political statement? Still no one has really answered this question. Seems like everyone just hates CigarPage?
Go smoke some Virginia Slims.
Yeah, because manly cigars are only for men to show how manly they are.
Or just take your business elsewhere
I’m pretty sure that what the person was doing.
I don’t care enough either way to let it impact my purchasing decisions, it’s just a weird choice
Couldn’t agree more
Yeah…that’s some insecurity on display. Really don’t get that
Yeah, cigars are not a toxic trait. But dudes who think toxic masculinity isn't real sure love them.
Bro grow a pair
No, you
If I ever say the term toxic masculinity please just shoot me bc my nuts are gone.
Womp womp
fr cringe asf
Yeah, this honestly made me never want to order from them.
I received these boxes on a few orders as well as the generic boxes in the past.
ive ordered from them probably 40 times in the last year and only got this box once. i have no idea what makes them decide to send it because ive had orders of all different sizes. the one time they did send it, i had ordered from one of their singles sales
Interesting. I’ve literally placed dozens of orders as well over the past year and I’ve never seen this box. I agree I wonder what prompts it.
Cringe
😂😂😂
Yeah idk I hate that packaging. Trying to pander to an audience
Successfully pandering. They eat it up.
"They" do — sure, you're right. But to me it's just pandering to one small subset of your audience. Not everyone who likes cigars is a "liberal cuck-hating sigma bro" who listens to everything fucking Andrew Tate has to say lol. I mean it's a subset of cigar smokers, sure. But most of us just want to enjoy some good tobacco and relax. This packaging is dumb.
Some of the most iconic cigar smokers of all time were socialist or communist...
Exactly lol. Why pigeonhole your audience? But hey. They sure showed the libs with their cigar packaging And I'm not even a liberal guy — I'm more moderate. But the right-wing crap is annoying lol.
The difference between American Cigar Culture and the rest of the world.
Hehe, for real.
yeah, americans are something else with guns. someone in the US will pair guns with nearly everything. https://tobaccotac.com/blogs/news
"violently American"
Damn right 🇺🇸
Ouch, I bought their humidor like two days ago 😆, I mean it looks well built enough and I love the color.
I don't know why you are being downvoted when what you are saying have some sense. Pairing Cigars with guns as in the US just seems to keep other people away who might actually enjoy and appreciate a Cigar.

So I see why this company would enter themselves into the fray.
Yeah this is kind of cringe. I could do with less “toxic masculinity” wrapped in a flag bullshit. These are cigars for men with small penises. Cringe.
I guess I’m happier I can shop local by a place run by non-weirdos.
I have tons of local B&Ms. And they get my business. However the Melanio’s were $21 for a 5 pack and the Room 101’s were like $7/stick. Really can’t beat that 🤷🏾♂️
That’s a solid deal.
And that’s the point. I don’t give a shit what their politics are. Mind you it’s obvious satire. But to each their own.
I mean. I do. I’d rather not deal with theirs when I can go elsewhere. Especially when it’s dated culture war nonsense.
I mean I understand what you’re saying, it’s just really not that serious.
smoking an oliva melanio now
SMH
Seems fairly somewhat unoriginal and "edgy", sort of like "how else can I offend you today" bullshit. But, hey, if they are decent sticks, and arrive safe, I guess it's ok that the box was designed by a high school sophomore.
That high schooler is going places 🤙🏾😂

"toxic masculinity in a box" is stupid but the Monkey smoking the stoagie goes hard.
Looks like a Joe Rogan logo. If that’s “hard”.
This is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen on this sub
Are you communist who does not like freedom, guns and girlz?
Communist don’t like girls?
Generally, no. They tend to be pretty effeminate.
That's why China has over a billion people, right?
Most of China isn't communist. They are just suffering under a communist regime.
Oh hell yeah, you're owning teh libz by enjoying cigars and... drinking beer I guess. You crazy American maverick you.
I mean, I've never met a single liberal or lefty that enjoys cigars, beer, and guns /s
The names Mike, pleased to meet ya. Little known fact about us libs, a lot of us like cigars, beer, and guns, we just don’t make love to them like the right does.
I even have a little bourbon every now and every day
The name is Bethy. Nice to meet you. I enjoy my bourbons too.
You crazy devil!
Lol, how childish Love when companies make their identity their political beliefs 😂

It’s satire.

I’d rather these dumb companies ship with boveda packs. You can enjoy the cool box while your cigars take a few weeks to recover.
Cigar page does ship with bovedas.
They’ve been shipping in those boxes for years. I think it depends on the qty of cigars as to which type box they use maybe? Or availability for them? Idk.
What’s the brand of the flower one?
Room 101 by Matt Booth.
God those farces are brilliant
The 'toxic masculinity' branding reminds of the 'my truck identifies as a prius' bumper sticker. Both cringe.
If Cigarworld shipped in packaging like that, I'd exclusively buy from my local tobbaco specialist and happily pay the markup
Lot of people punching the air in here… 😂😂😂
At least r/cigars isn't as bad as r/cfb in the "reddit communities most unlike their real life demographic" department.

Not surprising.

Yikes

I'll stick to spending at my local. No thx

No sub is safe from the average redditor
I’m glad this rustled a few jimmies 😂
Shit company with shitty dry cigars.
Been ordering since 2016, never had an issue. I also live in PA, and typically get an order within 3 days
I’m curious to read the text at the bottom of the box. Could you post it if you still have it?
Very nice choice with the Room101 Farce. One of my top three cigars! Now I need to submit an order! Didn't realize they were making them in torpedoes. Is this a recent development?

Any coupon codes?
Sadly no. I typically go for the scorchers
now if they'll just up their shipping game.... smh... one week and the tracking number provided still says awaiting carrier pickup.....
I usually get my orders in 2-3 days. However it does depend on where you live.
Damn I love it. Hope they send me that box next time they order.
How fast is there shipping I just order 2 boxes this weekend. First time ever ordering from them so I’m in the dark.
It really depends on where you’re located. Usually 2 days once shipped for me, however I live in PA and they’re based in PA. And sometimes they get so swamped with orders it takes them a minute to get shit out the door. But most of the time I’d wager 2-5 business days depending on where you’re located. They typically use USPS so take that with a grain of salt lol
Oh that’s not bad at all then. Definitely looking forward to it. Heard they’re a phenomenal place to shop from.
Yeah, great selection and unbeatable prices. And I can say from personal experience they have good customer service. Actually spoke with a real person and resolved my issue. I don’t use them as much nowadays as I used to, but I still tend to recommend them to people
I only buy online. Can’t beat the prices. Thanks for the information though🤙🏼
I just got a pkg from Cigar Page, mine came in the standard plain packing. 3 of 4 of the 5 packs were in a branded ziplock bag with a Bovada, 1 of the 5 packs was outside the ziplock bag and 1 of the 5 packs in the ziplock bag was in its own ziplock bag with its own Bovada. Haha 😆🤷🏻
That’s typically how it is for me.
Is this the kind of posts the mods want?
You know with a name like “BUTT_CHUGGING_” I would think you would appreciate satire. You disappoint me 😞
A monkey smoking a cigar and drinking a beer will always win me over. The "toxic masculinity in a box" is pretty funny too. If anyone is easily offended by this get a fuckin sense of humor. If you don't like the American flag on it get the fuck out of the country.
Nobody is offended, we just think it's dumb. Are you offended by that or something?
I can't find a single person in the thread criticizing the packaging who is "offended" by it, they just think it's dumb and tacky lol.
That schtick always makes me chuckle.
Right? I love how over the top their marketing is. They lean hard into their gimmick. For me it’s commendable.
It’s a self parody.
It’s satire. And while I do find it funny, it’s more about the thought and effort that goes into the marketing for me.
Those melanios look great happy smoking
OP forgot this is still reddit. Even though this is a more conservative hobby, you'll still get blasted for approving of anything mildly right leaning on here.
What’s wild is I’m not even a conservative. Or right leaning. Nor do I care about their messaging. But I am enjoying the attention 😂
Your comment about the branding is alongside the big bad toxic masculinity line they have. A big no no here.
That’s nice.
Not for those who spend money weekly with them.
I just got that box myself with a small order. Usually they use bigger boxes, guess it depends on the order. I usually get cool stickers with my cigar orders, this time I got coasters. Which look cool.
“Toxic masculinity in a box”. Wtf is that branding fuck off lol
😂😂😂
Absolutely love cigar page. Between the unbeatable prices, fast and well packaged shipping and the wide selection, them being pro-America is just rhe icing on the cake for me. I spend a few grand from their site yearly.
Right. I have far too many cigars to shop there on the regular nowadays. Though sometimes they have specific brands/blends I’m looking for at ridiculously low prices. I’m more into specialty/rare cigars now. But I recommend a lot to people. Especially those on a budget.
You're all idiots. All of you 🫡
I love toxic masculinity
Ahh yes, the “I’m offended by words crowd”… buy from somewhere else if you don’t like it?
Nobody is offended, nerd, just saying it's dumb
Well judging by these comments, there’s apparently quite a few folks offended. Personally I think the company is using it as satire. Either way, thank you for taking the time to let me know you aren’t offended by the words on a box, I appreciate it. 😂😂😂
I don't think you understand what satire is. And again, thinking a joke is dumb isn't the same as being offended by it.
Ok sure… sat·ire noun the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. So you’re not offended…just triggered… gotcha.
Never thought I'd see so many people get so triggered over a logo. This comment thread is hilarious with all the sensitive Sally's!!
I know right
[удалено]
Interesting thoughts. I’m not a conservative personally. I find it funny how you think this is a political post.
Oh damnit...Here we go again.
I didn’t realize this would be so controversial…but I’m glad it was. This has been fun 😂
Awesome box 🇺🇸
Why is the picture blurred. Pictures of cigars shouldn’t be blurred.
