You must be thinking of another delivery service, because that sure aint the USPS these days. We must be special. Last week at about 8:30, I was sitting out in my garage smoking and heard the sound of a postal truck. I thought it mighta been doing a Special Delivery but when the truck pulled up to our mailbox, saw it was our regular carrier. Asked her how come she was working so late and found out that a couple of people had called out so there were 8 open routes. She did those and then was finishing up doing ours. So I guess they still try to adhere to their informal motto. |

I don't know. I quoted that to my postal carrier aunt once and she just laughed |

APBTMarcel wrote:Stolen from Mr. Chazbo's great idea.
I love the PIB/Wants thread that is going but most all wants are htf smokes are ultra premo's ( nothing wrong with that if you have the coin). Just want to get more people involved.
So this thread is for wants under $8 msp each
Rules: Post a list of at least 8 cigars you are looking to try ( under $8 msp ) Who ever has at least three of the wants can pick up that request but send at least five cigars. Then once you pick up that request go a head and post your ten or so wants.

Thanks Palama! I thought I might have read it wrong, or maybe there were changes to the original rules since their inception.
Delta, shoot me your addy. 😁 |

Delta, I was able to find 5 of your wants, and a couple others you might enjoy based on your wants. Package will be heading out on Monday. I'll post the tracking when I ship it out. |

In an effort to avoid outrage...here's my list. I'm truly not picky, and open to most anything. But these are a few of the sticks I've been watching reviews on and might enjoy trying.
I'm pretty sure some of these could be under $10.00-$8.00....that's going based off of what I see online.
Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Brazilian Maduro - Any vitola
Espinosa Laranja Reserva - Any vitola
Leaf by Oscar - Any vitola, any wrapper, but would prefer to try the Maduro
Southern Draw Jacob's Ladder/Cedrus - Any vitola
Drew Estate Tabak Especial Negra - Any vitola
Oliva Dub Nub
Anything by Viaje
Anything by Tatuaje
Any maduro or sungrown by Arturo Fuente
Again, I'm not picky. Basically if it's something not too light, and tasty, I'm happy. |

Hahaaa! Yes, your little baby boy is growing up. I learned my lesson with those Gurkhas....cheap doesn't ALWAYS mean bad as I learned with Man O War, but with Gurkha, in my opinion after trying a few of them, well....they suck. |

.
And splashdown they did! Stealth delivery. I peeked into our mailbox a few minutes ago and lo and behold, there was a stuffed-to-the-gills box from Ron. Brother Napalm smacked me with 10 really, really, really nice smokes. A. Fuente WOAM (from 2012) - old band and always a delight! (2x) La Barba Purple Double Corona - nh (2x) La Barba Red Lonsdale - nh (2x) Mombacho Diplomatico Petit Corona - nh Tatuaje Black Cazadores - nh - love the Black CG, PL and Robusto so gonna guess I'mma gonna love this vitola too! Couple of foreign passengers: RASS (from 2012) - I sparked one up recently and wondered why I don't smoke them more regularly RASCC (from 2012) - a GREAT short smoke Thank you very much Ron. Got 4 new smokes that I've been curious to try and with your generosity, will have a chance to try one each of the La Barbas and Mombachos to see how they smoke fresh and then wait a bit to try them with a few months rest. |
6589. Author: CarsonTheCat | Date: Tue, 8/18/2020, 7:29AM EST | |

let's give this another try...I tried to post an acknowledgement last night, and then again this morning...but the forum page was down on my PC and then bombed on my mobile this morning.... I got the package last night after my wife retrieved the mail from the box at the end of the cul de sac...it was too hot to go out before 8pm, local sunset time...
Carson impressed me with the selection he sent...hit quite a few on the list....and then some:
From the list: Aging Room F55M AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Camacho American Barrel Aged Camacho Triple Maduro 601 La Bomba Warhead IV
and the "throw-ins": El Gueguense, The Wise Man Espinosa Especial Joya De Nicaragua 1970 Antano Julius Caesar My Father Flor De Las Antillas
I've rechecked the rules...don't they call for a fiver only? How come people who knew how to count at one time lose that ability once they start throwing CBid punches?
Thank you very much, Brad...really appreciate this selection. |
6597. Author: CarsonTheCat | Date: Thu, 8/20/2020, 8:08PM EST | |
