Grocery Store Options

I’ve often walked by the small humidor at my grocery store and wondered if any of these would be good to try out. I recognize many brands but not the smokes themselves. I’m not into flavored cigars, though maybe some form of whiskey or rum might be good (would that taint the other cigars?), and I like smokes that are medium bodied. Anyone have any of these and feel it’s a worthwhile smoke?

Just grab a pack of Backwoods Sweet Aromatic from the gas station.
They're cheap, decent and rum flavored.

Nah.

Perdomo champagne is a decent stick
San lotano are good but never had that one.
I like oliva but not series g unless it's a Maduro
La aroma de Cuba is good
Nothing stellar but a few sticks worth trying

Yeah, actually not a hideous selection for the grocery store. Not a factory throw out in sight

La Aroma de Cuba, CAO Flathead and those Fuente Cuban Coronas will all do right by you. My bigger worry is what they're storing those things at. I wouldn't surprised if it's 20RH away from where it should be.

I'm jealous. Any time I've been in a pinch and had to buy a stogie from a grocery store or gas station humidor, I've had to go with some generic, mild to medium monstrosity.

I’ve always looked at them a bit skeptically but with curiousity at the same time. Wouldn’t figure the grocery store would have good smokes per se. I need to look and see if they have a hygrometer displayed somewhere.

Guess if they were stored properly they would be fine...there are some brands that I smoke but buying cigars at grocery stores would be like buying milk at Auto Zone....I don't get the warm fuzzies.

Not too bad of a selection for a grocery store. I wouldn’t be hesitant to smoke the Perdomo champagne, San Lotano, RyJ, AF, Nub and the La Aroma,
As has been stated, I would be more suspicious of the storage conditions. May depend upon who is tending to it. Sometimes it is an outside vendor that places these humidors in stores and restocks/monitors them. If so, there may be an outside chance they are OK.

I completely agree with @CentralTimeSmoke @FidelCastro & @Nature !
Some nice choices, storage would be my concern.
