Thanks for the opinions on the Archetype. I'll pass. It was just notable because they're $200/box normally, but if they're lame, who cares, it's irrelevant!

Instead I used the "scary" site to get a Xikar HP4 in the new "sandstone tan" finish for $67.xx with free ship, plus a cheap-but-decent 5-pack which took me BARELY over $80, coupon knocked it down to $60 and of course no shipping. Not bad, and have you seen good-resolution photos of this finish? It's freaking gorgeous, check it out:

I hope it looks that good in person, but I'll bet it does (or better)!

The pics look great! 👍

Are you gonna use it or stash it away?

I have a few extra lighters (...and cutters...), almost all won at low, “I-can’t-believe-I-won!” prices. Gifted both of my cigar smoking nephews Xikar accessories.

I'll use it in rotation with my other Xikars, probably.

Yeah, if you're patient and wait for great deals and code-stacks, or low bids that get accepted here, you can get Xikar stuff very cheap. I got a few Allume single jets for $12 each with free shipping, for example!

Scored a Steve Saka 9 +3 sampler for a great price at the Royal site thanks to referrals from vets here. First time buyer there so I told them so and let them know what I would be interested in getting next and (unbelievable) they're sending me my request gratis!
This forum is AWESOME!

FYI, CI MMAO is free shipping through Saturday, presumably end-of-day at midnight.

I'm putting in some super-cheapass, hard-chiselling, totally unrealistic prices to see if they'll bite. Accepted or rejected, I can't lose either way, because either nothing happens or I get ultra-cheap product! Fun!

^I've tried that with them a few times. They will reject as many times as they feel necessary. Best I ever got was a 5er of Punch Gran Puro Nicaragua for 15.

I outbid "CC of Sacramento" on a box Sobremesas tonight. Sorry if that was you Clint
I think it was $79. A nice add to my bundle of AFR-75 i got for $42. The aprox 15 or so others I won for $2. Each not worth mentioning. Hopefully I'll have the discipline to not win anymore dog rockets between now and Tuesday.

I snagged a box of Oliva Melania Maduros for a very decent price earlier yesterday, along with trying the new Drew Estate Blacks, in the Lonsdale Vitola. Can’t wait to try them out.

My experience has been that they will not bite. You may think it's fun but for me it was a waste of time.

Any of you fellows need a good cutter with a lifetime warranty, this is the lowest price I've ever seen on a Xikar Xi1 that has no logos/brands printed on it, just solid red. $25 and shipped free.

Take the word "cigar", then add the last name of Led Zeppelin's guitarist and founder, then add ".com" and go there. Then search on "Xikar Xi1 Cutter - Red". As I write this, they appear to have 18 left in stock.

I'd get one myself, but I just got an awesome-looking Xi1 from that same place (it's now sold out) that was a limited edition. The box says it was made to honor the Tobacconists' Association of America's 50th annversary (1968-2018), but the cutter itself has no text or logos on it, and is "burnt yellow" (slightly orange-ish bright yellow) with black blades, and daaaaaaaamn is it sweet! Looks and feels awesome, cuts amazingly well! Should perfectly complement my burnt yellow and gunmetal HP3 lighter, woohoo!

UPDATE: SALE HAS ENDED, price is back up again.

The scary site's been having the new Xikar Enso every day, with free shipping, in a different color each day, for $57.98 which is $48.12 after "BOTLORG" code (which gives 17% off $50+ orders).

Alternately you can add other items to get the bill up to $80, then use "FALLRADIO20" to knock $20 off. Thus, if you get your order at exactly $80, that means you're getting 25% off the already-discounted scary price, so the Enso part of the order would cost only $43.49, pretty sweet!

Selling for $100 elsewhere, and a brand-new release by Xikar. Looks pretty cool. I picked up a red one last night. Today's is silver, I think. They've also featured orange and green recently.

There's one YouTube review of it, by a guy with a big beard and Bono-like red-tinted sunglasses. He's a bit of a douche but he does give good info about it. Search YouTube for "Xikar Enso" and you'll find it, channel is called "Cigar Prop".

The Enso is like the XO, but no spring-loading, one handle not two, and the one handle moves both blades in perfect sync. It's a lot thinner than the XO too which is nice.
