I have to say, Great choice for this month's selection Chris!
I set fire to one of the lanceros tonight, perfect burn, intense flavors, and very enjoyable.
They pack a bit of a punch for such a small package.
Thanks My Friend! :smiley20:

DG
Anyone thinking of doing one for this month? Not yet? Wait till next month? July?
Anyone got any good suggestions?
I was trying to get something special going but it didn't work out. I'm thinking of calling it for the summer months. If someone else wants to step forward feel free.
DG
badwhale and I've discussed this deal going on now for Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve Love Story
Box of 27. Split for ways, that's 7 7 7 6. I'll take the seven, that's fine. Split four ways is pretty damn cheap - probably around $20 or so. We could also split it three ways - 9 9 9. Don't know how many people would want that many cigars. I guess, theoretically, we could split it 5 ways. I don't care. I'd like to try these, and if it's okay with DG, I'll run this this one time/month.
What say you guys?
*** EDIT ***
Did some math. Works out to be $2.78 per stick. If you were interested in a fiver, it would be $13.90, plus whatever it would cost to get it here (split with everyone else in the box split), then whatever it would cost to get it to you (usually $5 and change). Good way to get a cheap trade under your belt for newbs. Only if you're interested. I'll shut up now.
I'm in for either, but would prefer a 9 spot. Hell, I'm looking at it and thinking "whole box... do it do it!!!"Quote:

I'd be interested in the RjY Love Storys 9, 7, 3.1459, whatever.
One I found that didn't get spectacular reviews but would be interesting is a Costa Rican Puro Don Tuto Cigars. Comes in at 2.92 a stick and 14.60 for a 5er.
That was my first thought too. lolQuote:

I,m in for some RyJ's 9er ,5er or what ever you need to make split
I think I'm out for the summer fellows.
Big Thanks to DG for running this!! :smiley20:
And big props to the participants, not a problem one that I saw. :smiley32:
I'd be in for either.
Okay, so there's some interest.
As it stands now, there are a total of 6 people interested in the RyJ Habana Reserve Love Story's.
I figured we could evenly split two boxes - we'd each get 9 cigars.
2 boxes is $157.90.
The price for a 9 pack of these to each of you breaks down like this:
$26.32 for the cigars
$4.80 for priority shipping
$31.12 total
PM me if you need my address. I would like to order these by next Friday. I would appreciate a money order. Sorry.
Please let me know if you have any questions, want more than 9 or less than 9. We can probably work something out.
Funny, I just got an e-mail from my local store offering some RyJ Ex. #4's (robustos) that they found. Over 3x the price, though. :smiley36:Quote:

P.S. Ship'n'Click - save fifteen cents on shipping! $4.80 with ship'n'click and a USPS small flat rate box - USPS will even mail you the empty boxes for free!
Is there time left for me to get in on this?
9 pack as you lay it out sounds fine to me.
Let me know, thanks!
I'd be down for a 9 pack as well, I guess that just means we need one more for a third box?Quote:

They benifit from 6 months of aging but are spicy right off of the rolling tableI prefer the maduro
Mark my money order in mail for box split.and thanks for taking this on
Dan, its all you for the double 9.Quote:

Are you sure Will? You posted first so it's only fair that you get first dibs if you want them. If you don't, I'll definitely take them.
Its all you. Thanks for asking.Quote:

Money order's in the mail this morning.
Will
My money order went out today too, thanks again Mark for hosting this.

Money Order mailed today :smiley1:
This post updated.
Ah, the joys of box splits. I'd like to think I'm cutting my teeth with this experience:
1) Potentially bad news. The cigars have been backordered. I just got off the phone with the guy, and he said it will take at least a week before they get them. He did make it very clear that these were not sold out, and the price would not change.
2) A free ashtray comes with every box purchase.
I need to know if you want to wait, or want your money back. I'll even throw in an extra buck to cover the cost of your money order should you want a refund. Because they are backordered, I can change the number of boxes we order at any time, don't worry about that. No hard feelings at all if you don't want to wait.
I also want to know who is/isn't interested in the free ashtray, although I think I know the answer already. We'll do it this way: if you AREN'T interested in the free ashtray, let me know. Otherwise, I'll pull names out of a hat.
Thoughts......comments........criticisms........jo kes...........
I'm sure I can find something around here to smoke brother so i'm fine with waiting.
Me too.
Likewise. I can always run across the street to the Turkey Hill and pick up some Backwoods in the meantime...
I think you should get an ashtray if you want one.
I don't really need another ashtray, so there. I don't want one. Plus, I find that ashtray deals are always floating around on CI and JRs and places like that. However, I did have one of the RyJ ashtrays in the past (I broke it), and if its the same one, they're very nice.
Will
I'm fine with the wait.
I could use a new ashtray though, my current one didn't like the sudden decelleration when it hit the ground last week, so please put my name in the hat for the drawing. It's still useable but ready for the retirement home. :smiley2:
Thanks!
I can wait too, I'm in no hurry.
As for the ashtray, I'll throw my name in the hat assuming it doesn't increase your shipping costs.
Just got off the phone with Best Cigar Prices.com. The backordered boxes have arrived, they are shipping them out. He said it could be the weekend, or Monday at the latest that they are here. I am all ready to ship them out to you guys.
Sorry things got so complicated.
No worries, Bro. You're doing a great job!Quote:
