As the great philosopher, Eric Cartman, once said, "Never underestimate the power of a free hat."

Looks like you are going to ride this closeout all the way down. I am waiting for the free cigars!

Midmofan is low on hats ![jester]

Actually another hat is probably the last thing I need.

However, I refuse to not get free stuff regardless of how much it costs me to get it! [Stole this line from a Bernie Sanders campaign ad...]

Can't have too many spatulas....never know when someone is going to need the Aunt Jemima treatment

Yup, Stocking up on these before they are all gone. Who knows how many of these they got over there.

The Roxxos have been great and a perfect size smoke for the winter weather. The Big Cool Arrows also very very good. The small ones burn hot if not careful, so not as good for a quicker smoke this time of the year, & saving them for nicer spring weather.

Yup. Despite looking like one, the Filero(kee) is NOT a "short smoke". Properly smoked, it's about a 55-60 minute smoke, if I recall right. Treat it like a short smoke, and it's gonna burn too hot and it will suck. Yes, it's small, but no, that does NOT mean "let's grab it because it's 30 degrees outside and it'll be quick!"

All Chiefs must be smoked slowly, and not when there's a lot of moisture in the air (humid day, rainy day, etc.), or they will suck.

Smoked slowly on a dry or dry-ish day, and they're amazing.

Also, don't be so fast to reason that the Ranfla(jo) is much bigger than the Filero(kee) and only $5 more, so you should only get the Ranfla(jo). Strictly in terms of tobacco per dollar, that's correct, however the Filero(kee) vitola performs very differently from the Ranfla(jo), and the flavors seem more intense somehow, plus there is more change during the smoke, perhaps because it's not straight-walled over most of its length like the Ranfla(jo) is.

I bought nearly as many boxes of Filero(kee) as I did Ranfla(jo), for this reason.

Here is the advice they should be giving.

Dude, BUY EM! I would.

If you need any more advice on spending your paper let me know. I am here all week.🇨🇮

If you need a guy to get some cedar from let me know I can hook you up with my feller.

FWIW, Roxxos on sale AGAIN today over there, but no hat.

Anybody ever had the Room 101 HN's? The Box looks pretty cool....
