Finally...glad it got there in good condition.
pssst.......
who wants some free cigars???? :smiley37:
Surely someone wants a bunch of Thompson factory seconds???? :smiley2:
Ok, I'll bite. Let's keep it in Canada for a bit. :-) PM about to be sent ...
Craig,
Got your PM. I will mail them out on Monday for you. No point in doing so today as they will just sit in a warehouse in the heat all weekend! Couldn't resist the Thompson's eh? :smiley20:
Mark
Tuesday, you mean :-).
I realize few folks actually work in BC (or understand how taxation works :-), but even here in fat-cat city, Monday is the worker's holiday, eh?
Right....Labour Day. Maybe I'll see if I can get them out tomorrow instead.
Mark
Craig,
PIF will go out on Tuesday. Couldn't get to the post office yesterday. Will PM you tracking info once it flies.
Mark
In the mail.

Fucking Canucks hijacking our thread :smiley36:
While Mark's PIF is in transit, I thought I'd propose that it is time to consider changing the dollar definition of 'classy' smokes for those that need it. $3-$8 smokes in 2006 are not the same as $3-$8 cigars five years later, particularly after S-CHIP. $5-$12 seems more in-line with what the examples of 'classy' smokes actually cost these days at on-line vendors ...Quote:
"Classy " is defined as mid-grade level
sticks, such as CAOs, AVOs, Toranos, Padron Thousand
series, Punch, etc.. . In terms of dollar value, between
$3 and $8 per stick would be more than sufficient.
... and Paddy, you would have felt right at home at QSH. The only fucking Canuck there kept winning the draws. :-)
Second that!Quote:

So ... free cigars!
Glad it arrived safe and sound! Hope there's something in there you haven't tried yet.
Cheers,

I'll remove the burden of those free cigars from you craig!
Hmm. Browser lost my witty reply. Oh well.
On its way! My guess is they'll get to Aridzona in the first week of October at the earliest.
Oops. I just realized that I taped over the air holes. However, things should stay good with the cool ziplock with built-in humidifier brought forward from VancouverMark's PIF. None of the cigars had cello ;-), so I re-used some cello to help protect the sticks.
No DC, but I will re-ship if the box doesn't show up by the end of October.
Very cool Craig, can't wait! I assume black dragons will eat Mexican food.
I am out of town for work until Sept 27th, so if the cigars come in next week I might be a little late with the arrival announcement.
Awww Jah! Received a very, very nice Canadian package - thanks a bunch Craig, I can't wait to fire these up! Thanks for the info/notes on the cigars too, very much appreciated. :smiley20:
Ejp esmyd gtrr vohstd?
Too cryptic huh... ok...
WHO WANTS FREE CIGARS?
I dunno - I gotta think that someone that would think a "classy" cigar would cost $3 is a low-brow, knuckledragging fool. But I'm very willing to be surprised by something that catches me totally off guard. And (surprisingly) I have occasionally found some "jewels" amongst the dung at CI in their "blowout" specials (example: Alec Bradley Pryme a few years back). So - I'm not closing the door to that potential opportunityQuote:

Any person that would think it appropriate to "gift" something that was their bargain basement, bottom of the barrel crap they picked up for $3 needs to rethink their involvement in this thread. So if there's a fool out there thinking it's appropriate to send the same five crap brand $3 cigars as a means of "Paying it Forward"? Well... ...I'd suggest you prepare for the lynch mob carrying pitchforks and torches that's inevitably coming. :smiley2:
I think he was looking to "UP" the anty to $8-$12 sticks, but then again I could be wrong.Quote:

Anyway's as I had mentioned on another thread I'm trying to get rid of the last of my shit sticks.
This gives me a chance to unload the rest of my RP's and Gurkha to some sap. :smiley20:
The turds are yours Paddy - I'll get them out the door today or tomorrow. :smiley20:
I'm awfully glad you're not looking to send those to me! :smiley11:Quote:

...though I really would not mind having a few of those CI Gurkha "specials" around so that I can give the moochers in my life something when they're whining. That'll fix 'em! :smiley15:
They'll be in route shortly...

BTW - I do promise to keep my mooching to a minimum lest I look like Purobrat! :smiley20:
Hey guys, since I think I've piffed to you both in the past, if you're still aging any of those, uh, special (:smiley2:), toro sized smokes I sent ya.....let's work a deal. I'd like to get at least one back since there appears to be a newblet who might like to review one. :smiley4: :smiley20:
(Being a statistician), I was looking to adjust the original post for inflation of cigar prices.Quote:

I know... I agreed with you.Quote:
