    I was patient and bid on 3 different boxes before scoring this deal. $29 a box was good enough for me to give them away if I don't like 'em.

    Cigars International put them on sale for $39.95 a box (all sizes) the other day. Might still be on sale.

    I frequent both of those sites but prefer the patience route and do almost all the purchases on cbid.

    I'm trying to cut back-no reason, guess I feel that I'm tempting fate-but I still find cigars that I would like to try.

    It is the second one I've had and enjoyed! Very good.

    I bought this one over the counter last year sometime and its been in the coolidor for months/months.

    Had to pay real estate taxes yesterday; had new 10-ply tires put on the truck the evening before; had to stop by my sisters. Ended up treating myself taking the truck and a nice long ride for the cigar. Tires were real nice on the roads!

    Cigarbid site is still down for maintenance. Anyone else notice?
    Would've been a good time to enter some lowball bids on auctions ending today, no? I mean, if their site isn't up and running, there would be no one to outbid you!

    I need to re stock. I have a SMOKES 4 LESS about 3 blocks up, but their selection is less than stellar.
    Theres another one about a mile away, but their prices are crazy stupid.

    The best one with a walk in is about 5 miles away. Im going to have to make my way there this week.

    Jonesin lol

    Looks like the cigar site is almost back to normal. Search function still leaves a lot to be desired though.

    They arrived today but I put them in the freezer for overnight and then for a rest in the coolidor.
    (Poor things didn't know which way to go since the site maintenance issues)

    Also picked up some of these. Sound interesting.

    Had one of those Mark Twains a couple of days ago. Wasn't bad for an inexpensive stick. Seemed a little harsh for a mild smoke, but I think it needs more nap time. Couple of months can change things.

    The connecticut Mark Twains are the mild ones.

    CI is rating the memoir Mark Twain at medium-full. You did order the maduro wrapper, right?

    I had my second one last weekend and it seemed a bit stronger than the first one.
