All these with the travel humidor and humidifier for $75

I'm thinking about snatching one up, but I'm not sure if all these are tasty, being inexperienced, and for $75 I can get a box of stuff I know I like.

There are some decent smokes on that list, but let me call it like I see it -- a retailer like JR's isn't aging a Henry Clay, a Mac or an Upmann Lonsdale for 20+ years by choice. My guess is they couldn't sell them back then and they aren't going to be moving them now.

If you're in need of a travel case and were going to spend $25+ on one anyways...

I'd kinda like to see if they would just send me a single from 1988, it'd be cool to have a cigar from my year of birth.

Ouch. I'm not even that old, and........ouch.

I can remember vividly what I was doing in 1988.

1988 was my junior jear of high school -- so I have some very vivid memories...

My youngest daughter was born in '88.

Well, it looks like my work here is done.

**bigwhiteash** · 04-09-2009, 05:03 PM

I drank my first beer legally in '88

I've come a long way since then... so many cans and bottles!

JRs always makes their stuff out to be a big deal. it seems like they do that from time to time with smokes that arent moving.

**CatalystOfChaos** · 04-09-2009, 10:09 PM

I was 2 years old in 88 lol

**chefchris** · 04-09-2009, 10:27 PM

Man, you think you guys are old. In 88' I learned to start shitting in the toilet instead of on myself then prancing around in it.

So, you were in diapers until you were 4?

I was enjoying my 3rd layoff in '88.
Spent my time saddle breakin' Arabians and pluckin' around on my guitar.
Nice times but couldn't afford good cigars.

haha, yeah I don't really know what age kids are potty trained. Guess it shows.

I was breast feeding until I was 7.

Then started again when I was 13. Just can't kick the habit.
