What's in your collection?

Truthfully, I probably would have kept the smokes and just spread the wealth to my friends. But good on you for being honest.

You should have told him you didn't want to buy the other 4... for the cost of shipping, they probably would have let you keep them.

well he gave me 2-options buy or send back?

My real first thought was "they screwed up, and I don't want to deal with, so I'll keep" but then it's like what if the shoe were on the other foot, like I won a fiver and only got a single ya know, then I'd take the time to e-mail them, just doesn't sit right with me?

also I'm sure that site won't lose sleep over 4-smokes (they are on the expensive side), but that place is truley great, I can't imagine paying retail for those (at $30 for one, I'm sure shops may sell 'em for like $15) it's still the best deal you can get, I want to help them as much as possible.

the real reason that made my decsion is "it's my good deed of the day"!!!

My brother and I went to the Hooka shop for an event they were having last Saturday. Free food & drink, cigar specials, belly dancer, longest ash contest. I ended up buying a Partagas Rosado, Black Label, CAO Extreme, Acid Kuba Kuba, La Gloria Cubana Series R and winning (I had the longest ash at 4") three $10 smokes that included a Rocky Patel Decade, a PG something or other and something else I can't remember. The official "contest cigar" was a Rocky Patel Edge that they gave you too. Not a bad way to spend an early Saturday evening.

Moving away from the cigar collections...

Earlier that day I also scored an entire set of Pro-Style dumbbells for my equipment collection. Over 3600lbs, bells ranging from 5lbs to 150lbs, in 5lb increments. Came with three 5ft long three tier racks, as well as a couple extra 100's, 120's and 140's. Although a little rusty and very dirty, I paid $1500 for what once was a $6500 set. SCORE!

Wow, that was a great find! You are one lucky dog!

since I have established a good amount of "good" smokes at "good" prices and since I only smoke 1-2 aweek, I really have the courage now to just buy some higher end cigars (one here, one there), I've been trying to look at my best savings even if it's a buck.

I went to the shop to get a humi pack and planned to spend a 20 total

I had in mind-
CAO "america" (as this shop sells them under $10, the auctions I've seen them go over $15)
Diamond Crown (auction the churchills are around $11)


I got a CAO "america" torp. (about 6.5") for $8.50!!!


I noticed the "diamond crown" chruchills were $16.50 (so I will get them at a bid), they also had a big dog padron annvers. for $15, and the smaller ones were $30, guess I'll be getting a big dog one day.

Also noticed at the "beltway" Ashton VSG's are same price as auction (singles) so they are really more at auction with shipping charge!

I can smoke a big dog churchill within 45mins now, without feeling sick afterwards!!!

the last "mob" book I finished "takedown" about an undercover who poses as a relative to an independant garbage hauler thats being harrassed for "stealing" (gangters term) garbage routes that they have and overtax.

he said the one thing he picked-up from them that he still continues is cigar smoking, he said when he was pulled from assignmnet (before anyone knew he was a cop) (he just disappeared for sometime while they got the evidence prepared) he couldn't resist going to a cigar convention and sure enough he bumped into some of the garbage gangsters and had to B.S. them.

he said he bought one guy a box a "T-amos".
