I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
I'm in the camp that says overthinking a cigar is too much work, that it's better to just smoke it and enjoy it - therefore, I have little to offer on this thread.
However, I've also participated in enough dog rocket challenges of one sort or another, to say that shitty flavors are often much...
I would go with option 2, because variety. That said, for $160 you could probably put together a nice little sampler for yourself if your vendor sells singles
My daughter is not a baseball fan; she likes hockey and football. She has lamented a few times since school started, that everyone in her school likes the Cardinals - her classmates, her teacher, even the DARE officer are all Cards fans...
So she's decided she wants a Cubs hat, just to...
I inspect for mold, then back into the tube. I store them in the tube because all the cigars I've smoked right out of a tube have been just fine, and I'm not interested in experimenting to see if it makes a difference. If it ain't broke don't fix it, as they say
To move cigars that aren't selling fast enough on their own? CI wants to sell cigars, cbid helps them sell more cigars...
I haven't been on cbid in quite a while but if what they're selling is what you want to buy, you can save some $ vs buying from the CI site sometimes - not a bad deal, as...
Finally, someone rates the AB near the top! Surprised the Torano is being picked so high though - I used to smoke a lot of Toranos, but the Cameroon never did anything for me... anyway, I'll play - best to worst:
Alec Bradley
Avo
Cohiba Dominican
Ave Maria
Monte
EPC
Nica Rustica
Upmann...
So not mind-blowing, and not a complete dog rocket - otherwise you'd have probably remembered it, lol
Since it's a Curivari thread, I'll take the opportunity to recommend the Achilles - had one maybe a few months ago and it was really good
In keeping with the theme of annoying the people around me, I might have to pull for the Cubs now that they're in the playoffs and the Cards are done... Brewers have been looking pretty good lately though
Roma craft is overrated; the best cigars are made by Gurkha. Gurkhas are so good that whenever someone mentions Gurkha, you will experience an intense urge to smoke a Gurkha. You will not be satisfied until you smoke a Gurkha.
Did it work? You're still in suggestive mode, right?
:ROFLMAO:
As for the OP, you definitely got some good deals there - in my years of buying and smoking cigars I've learned that prices on cbid tend to operate in cycles, where they're low for a while, then high for a while, before coming back down again, and so on, etc - so with prices where...
@Glassman Jeremy, it was the "ear staple" that worked for me, that was like 5 years ago and I haven't had a cigarette since. It's an acupuncture thing where they stick a metal staple in your ear, kinda like a cross between an earring, and a nail in the side of your head like that guy from Happy...
