Well . . . .as Nicar pointed out earlier - I'm a Gurkha Ho.

So, when Titan's and Beasts showed up on Free Fall in the $6 range, I'm all over them.

They arrive and they look different. No cedar sleeve, slightly different sizes. What the heck I say - I'm sure the blends are unchanged. Normally I have to buy in volume to even get them for $14 - so I'm okay with it. In fact I declare the purchases another CBID Victory.

So . . . Today I get my catalog from another company with a shorter name but the same address . . . . .

4 bux a stick! ARGH!

IIR, the beast and titan do come in a different size (i.e. smaller vs. huge ring). I think others have had the same experience, expecting a bigger ring, but getting something slightly (or not so slightly) smaller.

Well, if you would have never gotten the catalog, you'd be happy about your purchase... so, I say, enjoy them!

Even though I promised myself I'd check pricing thoroughly BEFORE placing a bid I was apparently in a huury to empty my wallet yet again...won a bid on a box of cabiguan petites for $133.00. The avg. going rate is > $144. Lo and behold..found them for $104 on another site. All I had to do was send an email for the price which was not posted on the web site. DAMN...kinda took the win out of winning! Lesson learned...until I make another dumbass bid!

Half of why Gurka's don't appeal to many, to many for even a gurka overbiding ho to keep up with.

Looks to me like instead of saving $8/stick, you lost $2/stick.

Dave:

I'm aware of the "sampler" size. These are the full sized ones and the Titans are slightly longer (won't even fit in Titan box). The size isn't a big deal (yes, that's what SHE said), I just wish we'd get a heads up when packaging changed (cedar sleeve).

I'm just hoping the blend is the same.

I guess it wouldn't be a big deal except I may have purchased a relatively large quantity - My humi's are full, the corporate humi is full, and I've leased space in every humi in the office . . . now I have no room for the $4 sticks!

I guess I could send a few out to make room for some $4 ones!

YEAH! That's the ticket!
