Dang it!
Last week I was chillaxing and not even thinking of getting any more cigars when this damn thread popped up (...thanks a lot Jamie...) and I made a comment about looking for Best Seller Maduros. Got some PMs thereafter and it got me looking a little bit harder. Also got an e-mail from another vendor that offered 30% off, site wide. Checked into it but they didn’t have any BSMs...but they had Anejo #46s for a decent price. For s&g, I put a box into my cart, applied the discount code and whatta you know, the discount code worked. Price per cigar was $7.32, not bad. Seen better but that was a few years ago.
Anyway, at just about the same time, USNGunner / Vince PM’d about a vendor that had BSMs and also offered a “Wheel of Fortune” discount. I went to the site, spun the wheel and got 16% off. Took the 16% and applied it to the BSMs and came up with a pretty good price. Much better than the $180-ish I’d seen but nothing like the sub-$140 from 4-5 years ago. Oh well, non-buyers remorse.
So now, decisions, decisions. BSMs or 46s? Low on BSMs and have about a box and a half of 46s. All have 5+ years of rest on them. Both cigars are favorites. Man, this was a tough one. Decided to eat dinner and think about it.
After a couple of pieces of pizza, decided to pull the trigger on the 46s. The only odd thing is that the box is said to have 20 cigars, not the usual 25. But, for the sub-MSRP net price, went with the 46s, regardless of box count.
So, once again, thanks Jamie for (...unknowingly...) “making” me buy more cigars!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
