I fear the government may tax them like cigarettes soon. I think if that happens I’ll have to give them up. I really did enjoy both cigars I’ve tried from your care package sir. Very nice selection
Glad you enjoyed the two and interested to hear if you like the others too.
For me, the good ol’ days ended when MAP started being enforced in late 2014. Not only were the 8-5-8 Maddies going for under $3 (...with careful auction discipline...) but I could get PAM64 Coronas and Principes for under $6 too. I rarely look at Fuente or Padron auctions these days since there’s no way the lots would start at $1.00 and you could possibly get a real good deal.
Of course, for the real FOGs here, getting super deals on good smokes probably ended well before that.
