    These Factory Smokes are still good cigars for the price. This one's a maduro. I also decided to get a knockoff S.T. Dupont lighter since my pipe lighter was taking a crap. Seems pretty well made so far. Time will tell.

    Have a good week fellas.

    I grabbed a bundle of those at least a couple years ago....maybe even 4-5 now that I think about it. Liked them when I first got them but not so much now.

    I guess what I'm saying is smoke 'em faster than I do! :handshake:

    These are probably a year and a half, maybe 2 years old. The cellophane is turning colors. Hopefully, they don't turn bad on me. I have quite a few of them yet. I bought a bundle of each blend.

    I have been cutting way bac on cigars lately. Not by design, I just don't have the desire to smoke right now.

    Walleye fishing will resume for me in the evenings so that'll change!

    Heard about these this past summer. Has anyone here tried them?

    Walleye fishing just hasn't been good at all. Doing nothing but sacrificing minnows.....absolutely no action!

    But, back to the thread. I enjoyed a master blend III from oliva the other day; I think it was my last one that I got in a variety pack about at least a year ago.

    It was unbelievably good!!! If all of them had been as good as this one was, I would have ordered more of the same.

    Taking a break from stacking. County lifted the burn ban, so I can finally clean up some piles. Puppies keep trying to rescue sticks from the fire. IMG_2335.jpeg

    It has been quite some time since I've ordered cigars. I gave a box worth away the other day (sampler variety type) and figured it justified placing an order.

    I see that cigar page is charging excise tax.....when did that begin?

    I wonder if they started that on January 1? I haven’t bought for a while.

    Same thoughts here.

    Between free shipping and no excise tax; they were a decent provider. Crap!

    I think it's 50 cents per cigar-I'll have to check.
