Hello --

These are kind of illegal in many states due to the problem with shipping them. A truck carrying a few hundred cases of these hits a few pot holes and......well, you see the problem -- roasted truck!!

There is an old fashioned hardware store in downtown Falmouth, MA (on Cape Cod) that sells these. I buy few boxes and send them to friends, give them away, use them when camping, etc. They are less than $2 for a good size box. My kids love to play with them - something about strike anywhere matches and kids -- I too loved to play with them when I was a kid.

Like any match, let the chemicals on the end burn off before using with a good cigar or pipe. These are a ice big size and burn long enough to get a cigar going well.

If people are really interested, and want to buy a bunch of them I could act as a middle man and send them out. Anyone who wants to do this should contact me, and I'll get the exact price. You can also call the Tru-Value Hardware store on Main Street in Falmouth if you don't trust me to tell the truth!!!

I'll do for the cost of doing it for forum members. We cigar smokers need to stick together!!!!!!!!
