TEN inches x 48 RG and just think! You could smoke all of it, or just half!!!

I saw these in their new catalog too. Hey, wasn't there some crappy Filipino cigar called Double Happiness not too long ago? I thought I'd ask, as you guys are experts on crappy cigars. :ss

Greatest idea ever, I hope Habanos SA is seeing this. Pure brilliance. If they weren't backordered I would be all over this like flies on poop.

I must admit, I kind of like the artwork. How much would they charge me for a box, iffn they kept the stinkin' smokes?

Yep. And IIRC, CA even gave them decent ratings at the time. But that's not saying much, they also highly rated such gems as Dr. Sila...

For those keeping track, this set contains 2 new Gurkhas that are not on the list of AJ Fernandez factory. Make it 3 if you include Double Happiness.

I still can't believe it's back ordered. I'm hoping it's because there was only one box in existence and they accidentally ran it over with the fork-lift in the warehouse.

I agree that if Habanos did this I'd be all over it. I could see one stick for each brand, varnished box.
I'm a little skeptical when it comes from CI. And I like CI.
I'm guessing all of those smokes are being rolled in the same factory?

Believe it or not this was first concepted by Gene Argenese. While I'm not a big argenese guy, the idea is a good one.

You are getting 20 cigars. However, the way it's bundled is as 10 cigars. These reason this is done is because SCHIP taxes you PER cigar. At 40 cents per cigar, this saves you $4.00 per box.

Exactly - I used to work with an Italian and he mentioned that there are cigars in Italy that you cut in the middle and share with someone. This is the first thing I thought about when I saw these in the catalog.

I saw this same idea in a Bestcigarprices catalog (i think it was them) a few months after Schip came in effect and way before CI came up with this one. I think they were called Schipbusters. Its supposed to save us all on the taxes. They are taxed as one cigar but can be smoked as two, if needed.

$4? Wow!


Gene's ideas are only good in his own mind with his crappy cigars and stupid "club".
