Anyone enjoy these things? I've been sitting on some of each of the bourbon, rum, and cognac for 7 or 8 months hoping the infusion would get stronger... I never really liked infused cigars that much, but in the time I've been aging these I've realized I'll never have the desire to smoke one...

also have a handful of cbid gurkha's I'd like to unload... and a 4-pack of the double happiness...

just throwing it out there to see if there's any interest...

I gave one of those Oliveros rum tubos to a guy out here last night. His first shot at infused smokes. He originally started with PX cigars (they basically sell convenience store cigars, plus some dried out 858's), so we changed that in a heartbeat. Since we don't smoke infused cigars, and he had never tried one, I slipped him one and he enjoyed it. (specialists schooling lieutenants...I love it)


Anyway, pretty much anything that is sent to OpFTH will be smoked by SOMEONE. There's enough palates and varying degrees of cigar smoking experience that whatever the cigar is, there will be a taker.

So yeah, what Illini said. The troops are always a good option (not to me tho, I'm set).

This is silly. I just explained that any and all cigars are welcome to the guys out here. You have guys that have NEVER smoked a cigar who will try their first in the sandbox. Even a cheap cigar is still a great wind-down to a stressful day.

Then, you have others (like a buddy of mine) who will smoke NOTHING but internet Gurkhas. He loves em, and more power to him. He gets to smoke what he loves for pennies.

That's not to say that there aren't people here (me and a few of my herfing buddies are a prime example) that smoke things that are higher quality/price.






Oh, and Illini....SHADDAP!

^what he said, I am sure there are guys there that appreciate any cigars they get.


Just because you and I don't want something doesn't mean no one does. And it seems to me sending this to the troops is better than throwing them away?


Do you want them? If so speak up. I'll send the 5'er to Joel and he can send these sticks to you.

I think OpFTH would be a better use of them, tbh. I have a good bit of gurkhas saved up for the guys that love em. Also, all the guys from here shipping directly to me keeps me topped off on supply. Share the love with some of the other guys out here, IMO.

Sorry, I was aiming my question to Hockey Dad, since he was upset with the idea of them being sent somewhere else.

I already shipped your package, but am perfectly willing to pack another box for you. . . 🐴 [whip]

Ok, reading it again, that makes more sense. It's late, and I'm tired.

Anywho...gym time for me.

I agree totally. There are some very knowledgeable cigar afficianados in the sandbox, but most won't know the difference between a WOAM and a WOP. They gather for the camaraderie and the chance to relax and to have a cigar among friends. During my time at the Coffee House (Taji) and the Victory Cigar Club (Baghdad) thousands of smokes donated by generous B/SOTLs here and elsewhere were given to any and all who wanted one - or two.

I agree, the troops are always a good option.
