So I am leafing through my favorite paper cigar catalog. The Mild & Mellow #4 sampler, on page 47, includes a Hoyo Excalibur. The sampler consists of 10 very mild cigars according to the ad copy. On page 69, Hoyo Excaliburs sold by the box are described as Medium-Full. Is this the same cigar or do they use a different Excalibur for the samplers?

I have another question. About 80% of the cigars in the catalog are described as balanced. Are the other 20% unbalanced? Some of the unbalanced cigars are just as expensive as the balanced ones. I am not sure what balanced means. Does a balanced cigar not topple over when placed upright?

You have an amazing memory, DED. Could you send me a box or two of those? I ran out 5 or 6 years ago.

I also have a question ( though not rhetorical ), why won't they send you a box when you bid from the box section?

Dude,

You don't have the right membership. Any time I win a box quantity of singles or fivers, they send me a sealed box. Heck, sometimes they send me a sealed box when I’m a few sticks short. Membership has it's privileges.
