My first box purchase.

I did. Believe it or not, i have never bought a box of something. i've bought bundles of things, 5 Vegas A's, Don Kiki's and what not, but never a box.

I got it from CI. They're running a special on 5 Vegas, buy a box and get a 12 cigar sample free. amazing deal. it still took me two days to decide to buy it.

just about everything is on backorder. but if you've got patience, and i know barry does :smiley2: , then it's a steal.

wait a minute. i'm wrong. i bought a box of Sancho Panza Dbl Md when i first started. that doesnt' count. i didn't know what i was doing and wanted some sticks in my box. they were good though.

this time was different. i did it right. i tried a couple sticks, then bought a box.

i'm stoked.

Bought that 2nd plano box yet?:smiley2:

You are doing better than I did.
I think I went through 3 or 4 boxes of Thompson "surprise" boxes before I wised up. I remember smoking a Thompson brand one time, and my friend let me taste his Macanudo Cafe Whatchamacallit, and it seemed so tasty, so complex, bursting with flavor, compared to my smoke... :smiley8: :smiley18:

No, not yet. If you'll notice in the picture, there is a 3rd shelf which contains no cigars. It houses my beads and hygrometer right now. But Basil was nice enough to send me some homemade tubes for my beads. So now i can fill it up. Which will happen rather fast thanks to the 25 DK Browns i'm getting in today, the 37 5 Vegas, and the Carlos Torano 20 Mega-Sampler that ends tonite.

Wow, now that I see it in writing, that's alot of sticks. 82! man, what am i doing?

By the way, i had to see the price i was paying per stick with those 5 Vegas. I counted in the free 12 cigars sampler and shipping costs and it comes out to be $1.77 each. i can live with that.

Thanks again Basil !
what a super guy.

It happens to me too when I drink kitten broth!

I did that deal with the 5 Vegas smokes about 2 months ago......it was a badass deal. Box plus 12 free smokes, cant beat that! Still have about half the box left and 1 or 2 of the free smokes. :smiley20:

Speaking of box purchases, i just got myself a box of Torano Tributes. Wonderful maduro cigar.

You're on a very slippery slope there Chris. I would start looking for a cooler soon and save that tackle box for a herf-a-dor. I saw that same Torano sampler and almost put a bid in, but I'm cut off until after the holidays.

Were I you, I would cease and desist all future wildass references to anything warm and fuzzy because I'm not, I mean, HE's not, like, into kittens or colored letters or any of that shit. So, take WO . . . I mean, take my advice and don't lie anymore.
