Well, well I was bit by the bug today, just made a Cyber Monday purchase. I chose to go with 6 Packs of Baccarat, La Aurora, Nub, Oliva, Perdomo. I guess the coolidor will be getting used, now. I also expect an order I placed last week to arrive today of Gispert, along with an ashtray. Oh well, my Christmas shopping for myself is done now!

Just realized that I just took another step into the darkness, so far I have been buying cigars one at a time from the B&M usually 4 or 5 different kinds to discover what I like. I have had some bad smokes that I probably won't smoke again. I have had some great smokes that I look forward to smoking again. Then yesterday I found a number of brands on sale that have been on my list "To Try". With the cooler setup, I can now gather some and allow to rest before I smoke them, while working through others that have been in the cooler now for a few weeks.
I have quite a stash of Oliva's that are ready, and I have more that I was bombed with, even a hand rolled special that @webmost sent me, that I have been saving for an important event.
Another day in paradise!

My mailbox is sitting on the ground now after this was found! The box was so full one package was on the ground!

You picked a good place to order from (I can tell by the bags)--I used to live in Philly, and their shop is second to none. I'll still take a ride up there in the middle of the winter from Delaware when I haven't smoked in a while and/or the wife is away!

Well I am admitting that I am officially smitten, I can't get it off my mind! The Crowned Heads Luminosa has overtaken my thoughts. I find myself craving it! I am sitting here working and thinking that this afternoon I may have to smoke it! I have one in the cooler, which means that when I smoke it I will be looking to replace it with more! I haven't experienced this yet. I have smoked many cigars that I enjoyed but none that just call me like this! I guess I am slipping further down the slope!
