    Glad you fellas enjoyed it, or at least found it interesting. I enjoyed it.

    I don't have cable or satellite. So, if I watch anything, it's on YouTube, or Bitchute and every now and again I come across a documentary/movie about a variety of topics that is pretty good.

    So, I just signed up at Cigar Bid. That site is gona cause a bit of a ruckas with the credit card.

    The Free Fall auctions seem.......... interesting.

    Just so you all know, you are filling your roles as enablers, exceptionally.

    I like to compare the freefall auctions to regular auctions & the quickie auctions.

    And yes that site is not to viewed if insomnia hits or a bout of boredom sets in…

    Ya know, I don't know how they can afford to do the free fall auctions.

    Cohiba Red Dot 25 packs, go for $380, or more. I just got them for $85 bucks before shipping. How can they sell them for $300 less and make any money? Not that I care, I got a deal, but man. It was so cheap, I got a 25 pack of Cohiba Black's for $84 bucks too. The Cohiba Blue's weren't as cheap, but still saved $50 bucks off of what they go for.

    Thanks for mentioning it enough times, I finally looked into it fellas! That site is gona make me broke and I'm actually OK with that. Lol

    I'm not a huge auction guy, as far as bidding goes, but the free fall auctions are a pretty awesome idea. The quickie auctions are just like a "buy it now" on Ebay, if I remember right. That wouldn't be a bad option either. Haven't spent a ton of time looking around. I did enough damage in the first hour. I better take the rest of the night off.

    It looks like I made the right decision, ordering another humidor, because I'm gona be out of room fairly quick at this rate.

    Hanging around here, I can finally understand what people around me must feel like. I'm pretty good at helping others spend their money as well.

    Here's some I picked up the other day from JR. Just arrived. Factory Smokes, Maduros, Sweets, Shades and Sun Growns. The discounted offer was Montecristo White Series Rothchilde 10 pack, for 5 bucks a piece.

    A couple days ago, I thought the fact that they offer a discount on certain cigars when you put something in your cart, was a good deal, and it is. But, that pesky Cigar Bid and those free falls, is where it's at.

    Smoking a JR Alternative of the Montecristo No 2. 2.5 yrs old. Not a bad smoke for the price I gave back then and being a knockoff.

    I got them quite some time ago and amazingly, they haven't lost any of the taste they had when they were fresh. I thought that over time they would have faded on the infusion aspect of the cigar. They are a sweet cigar that is good for a change now and then.

    There are several different types of Oliva 2nds on CB in the quickie auctions.

    Yeah, I saw that right after I logged off! I won a couple of auctions last week and am wanting to add to the package before it ships, thanks.

    I'll say this.........I'm very impressed with how fast CI and CB ship. 3 orders with them and all shipped within a few hours of ordering.

    I tried a Partagas Pronto this evening, it was nasty. I got about 1/2 of it smoked before I tossed it.

    I will try a Legends Black at some point this week, hopefully my experience has better results.

    The cigar was bad, or are you still having sinus issues?

    After effects from the sinus issue I would imagine. The cigarillo was in good shape, it had been in a Clevelander so the temp & humidity were good.
