That's messed up. I tend to go exactly the other way. I've got hooked up big time since I got here. Some amazing smokes from several of the vets, and pointed to some great cigars coming available and or cut in on some amazing box buys. Smokes I would never had known existed. I feel obligated to pay that forward if I can.

Thus, I'm working on my stash, and once I understand the mechanics of all that I'm in. This place is amazing. I keep saying that, but it's true. I'm smoking on a quality level way over anything I've ever had before. Really good cigars, but unfortunately that means I'm rapidly losing my taste for infused and sweet caps. 🤔

One thing I've always thought about cigars, and why I've never bought less than two of a kind is they are about friends. Cigars are meant to be shared with buddies, and enjoyed with same. Preferably over a beverage of choice.

YES!

Welcome to the club. 🙂 I used to love the DE Larutan Big Juicy's but now they are too sweet. Pretty much a yard gar for me now lol.

Cigar tax is so high here (50%) that a single might be 2/3 the cost of an internet 5er so I look for online deals first. Worst case scenario, I get to try a couple but iffin’ I don’t like them, can rest them further or gift them to others. Smoker events are the exception as prices are usually much better (...typically no more than MSRP...) and sometimes there are event-only smokes / deals so you gotta gettum while you’re there.

That's why I spend a little more for the cigars at my local, and then I get to enjoy myself there all day for the price of a cigar. Small price to pay, and worth every penny to me....=d>

That’s backwards. Unless I reflect on it...

thought I was too subtle

Nevah!

Seems I overlooked it.

Hyevah, in retrospect...

You guys and your reviews of good sticks help me really understand and appreciate cigars. As you might imagine, on an island of approx. 2 million people fellow smokers, especially female smokers like myself, aren't plentiful, but that scarcely matters for you folks help me keep my passion alive, strong and enduring.

Thank you everyone and please appreciate what you have here, since in my opinion the camaraderie, the very ethos you all share is to me so priceless it cannot be measured in gold or other treasure.

Shhh 🤫 ! I work with the ATF, with an emphasis on the ''T''. I confiscate a lot of illicit tobacco products from folks and test it on myself, so the other agents don't have to go through the arduous process of having to smoke it themselves. I sacrifice a lot for the sake of justice and keeping the world safe. Send me any suspicious samples you have I'll test them personally, no need to thank me 😉 .

That sounds good. We've got others with an emphasis on the A and the F, so you may fit in well here.

You are now relieved of your direct superior, and need to funnel all reports and confiscated items(what's left from sampling for safety) through us. Of course, this is all to be kept confidential. Welcome aboard agent.

Merica!

we might want to rethink this combo

Fucquin A, you might be right...
