Well I got Rob's 5er, or rather, a 4er. 'Hm, ok 4 sticks, it better be damn good!' I say to myself. Ya cheap bastid! I begin to read the note:
Enjoy the smokes and welcome to the community...Let's see if your tastes have developed.
- Por Larranaga PC - Nov 2008
- SCdIH La Punta - March 2008
- Unbanded - Tatuaje Verocu #5 (a current favorite)
- La Riqueza #5 (also a favorite, from my first box purchase)
Ok, let's see these 4 smokes. Boy he sure put in a lot of padding, what is that, cotton?
Lifing the note, I am greeted by a CI smily hat, with the 4 sticks. Ok, well done. I like the hat. Let's get rid of all this packing...cotton. I lift what I presume to be the "padding." I was mistaken. It turned out to be a baller CI shirt. But the sure felt heavy, and was rather thick. So I opened it up to reveal a V cutter. And a humidifier. And a punch cutter. And a 8fl oz Cigar Juice. Wow. At this point I want no more. This is already too much to take.
So what the hell is all this crap under all this stuff? Oh you know 26 cigars, no big deal. FML.
