WooHoo! Via delivery? Nothing better then getting a package in the mail.

Yes Sir! Will be here this afternoon via UPS. I've been ordering from Cigars International for awhile now, I finally figured out that if I watch their specials like a hawk, I can smoke top shelf stogies for only 3 or 4 bucks per stick. ;)

So, you haven't become addicted to their sister site, CigarBid.com, yet?

[Bluntforce]

Thanks for the lead, just got a humidor last month.

No, not yet. I've looked at it, but the process seems odd to my sensibilities. Kinda like I never liked epay, I either want to know it's coming or not. :)

Once you place an order or two, you'll get regular notices via email of what's on sale. When you can buy a premium smoke that normally retails for $15 for $3.50, that's hard to pass up. Most of what's in my humidors I bought this way. If I had purchased them via a B&M, they would have easily cost 3 times as much. Many times the special pricing is for a 5 pack, but sometimes its for 10 or 20 smokes, it varies.

Here's an example: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/emailsWsc4.asp?emailsrc=true&kc=CI3006

This is a good deal, but not one I'm going to jump on. I get a new heads up from them about every other day. Sometimes the deal runs for a week, sometimes just over the weekend.

Hey! Even I can understand it, so it would be a cinch for anyone else.
THAT'S when you start getting cheap smokes......You've already established "retail" by shopping CI, so it'd be easy
for you to buy at 60-80% of that!

Okay, these finally showed today.

Got some more of the Oliva Series O (5). I can see no reason to ever be out of these, they're great!

Bonus coverage! ;) Tried this combo last night while manning the grill. Hoyo Excalibur Dark Knight w/ Baker's bourbon. Good stuff.

Somebody has to do it. ;)

I think you'll like the O series. Medium bodied with great tobacco flavor. The first bunch I got I let age a couple months and they were nothing short of superb.

[El Jefe]

Well shoot, I couldn't resist trying one of the new smokes. Poured a short dram of Bookers and lit up one of the Romeo's. Very nice, this is a good smoke and will only get better with a little humidor time.

On another note, damn, that Bookers packs a wallop! I'll not go back for a 2nd pour. ;)

[CigarGuy]

I think you'll enjoy those Padilla's, too. I would say they are the " fullest" of the bunch, but not too strong.

I've tried one of the Padilla's thus far. Nice, tasted good, but a bit on the mild side believe it or not. :)

Actually, I do. The one constant with that line is the inconsistency. He's been through a number of manufacturers.
