My first box purchase.

**chefchris** · 12-06-2006, 02:15 AM

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

, 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?

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...

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.

he was very kind and gentle when i talked to him. we talked about life, love, and relationships. he said how happy he was to be able to call me his new friend. he also carried on about his passion for kittens.

I talked with Basil about kittens, too. He gave me a terrific recipe.

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.

What he said.
