So grab em while they’re still cheap briar heads!

Won a fiver of MoW Ruination Robs for.............................$6?

Don’t know if I should be excited...............or worried.

They used to be my favorite MoW back in the day.

Hope they’re still good...........I’ll let em sit for a year or so.

Also won a fiver of MF Connie Robs for $16.50........... not an amazing deal, butI wanted to try these.

Expires midnight tonight (the moment that the 2010s end and the 2020s begin!):

1. Go to CI.

2. Put a $25 gift card in your cart.

3. Enter code 51VUWZSLUKTV

4. Enter code EYDU81H7X7YC

5. Complete order.

Result = a $25 CI gift card (no expire date) and a 5-pack of Nica Libre Toro cigars for $25 with free shipping.

The codes aren't limited to one-time use. You can do this several times if you want. For example, if you want to place four orders which collectively exchange $100 cash for $100 non-expiring CI gift cards, you get a free box of Nica Libre Toro (minus the actual box) and it all ships free too!

Happy new year! Hurry up before it expires!

The 2 questions are;

1. Is the Nica Libre Toro good?

2. Can you use the gift cards towards the "10 pack + 20 dollar gift card" special that comes around every so often?

As always you are the MAN pudding mittens

It's a good smoke. Not high-end of course, but a nice set of Nicaraguan flavors and good burn, construction and draw, last I checked. I like AJ stuff, and he blended them, so it figures I like them too. It has a typical AJ profile, which I find quite tasty. Of course, everyone's palate differs. However if you like Nicaraguan stuff and AJ stuff, you'll probably like these.

You should be able to use the gift cards for anything, at any time, including the December/May "10 packs and $20 bucks card" specials, yep! As far as I know, anyway.

That's what I'm gonna do, wait till May and use them then!

Thank you, sir, I do try! Happy new year to all!

Gurkha 130th Anniversary Churchill Tubos (7.5" x 52) Below Average/Fair, even after 6 months of naked aging. Still comes off as slightly harsh and generic. Great presentation covering a generic blend. Typical. What's sad is I see people playing $5 per cigar here for them. [barf]

Gurkha 125th Anniversary Torpedo (6.5" x 52) Good. Much better the the 130th. A solid medium Habano smoke!

Acid Kuba Kuba Candela Robusto (5" x 54) Good. Not worth the MSRP but for $2.50 per a decent mild option.

Perhaps you should start a go fund me page.

Heh heh.........

My Gawd..........Numbas smokes a lot of crap...

Hey, if any of you like the Archetype Initiation line, there's a "very-well-known" vendor that's got all boxes on sale for $49.95 right now, and if you add item(s) from their "scary" site totaling $30.05 or more that have free shipping, you will then have exceeded $80 total order value, and can use code FALLRADIO20 to knock $20 off. The code works for anything too, not just the Archetype sale items. FYI, just sayin'....

How are the Archetype Initiations anyway? I never had one myself. Opinions? If they're good, what's the best vitola to get? Thanks.

.

Never had one but find it quite interesting that boxes of each vitola are all priced at $49.95. Makes me wonder if they didn’t sell very well and they’re being dumped?

Reviews seem to be positive except for one that experienced an initial tight draw and some burn issues with the Corona.
