Did you get any cigar related holiday gifts?

[RRocket]

Hope everyone is having safe holidays. Did anyone receive any yummy treats??

My lovely surprised me with not one, but two boxes of sticks.

[s15driftking]

My aunt got me a cool cigar ornament

[jet66]

My son bought me the Gurkha Spec Ops box kit, pretty cool. Cigars are OK, but the whole thing has its own 'cool factor.'

My mom also bought me a sampler consisting of Ruinations, G2's, Black Pearls, Prensados, and Padilla 1932's.

[klipsch]

I got myself a new...EDITED after hotreds pointed out that my purchase didn't count... ;s

[hotreds]

no

[Kreth]

My in-laws got me The World Encyclopedia of Cigars by Holland/Millington. I've just skimmed it so far, pretty cool... :tu

^^Oooo...that's a nice gift!

[G G]

nope

[alley00p]

Unfortunately, none of my family likes to shop for cigars for me.

On the other hand, I did get a half pound of pipe tobacco, and a Tim Horton's gift card for some great coffee! :D

:dance:

[688sonarmen]

I got a stinky:noon

[Eleven]

I got a novelty 'Golf Bag Humidor'. It's tiny, meant to hang from a golf bag, and it looks like a little golf bag.

Here is the stock photo of it. Neato idea from the Mother-In-Law, but I doubt I use it for anything other than conversation:

[MurphysLaw]

My wife bought me a sampler box of H.Uppman, RyJ, and Montecristo cigars, and a buddy bought me a Padron #45 maduro, an Anejo #50 maduro, and an Opus X perfexion X

[thebayratt]

A good BOTL friend of mine got me
T52 Flying Pig
Viaje 2009 Holiday Blend
601 Red Toro
Torano Noventa 90
Avo Heritage Short Robusto
Camacho Diploma

I gave him a Viaje 2010 Holiday Blend (Torpedo and DaisyCutter(?) ) and changed the starter out on his wife's car. I wasn't expecting anything from him, I knew he couldn't get ahold of any 2010 Viaje HB, so I got an extra for him. He said the work on his wife's car was worth more than what he got me, but I didn't care; nor did I expect to get a gift from him in the first place.

[Prospector]

from my wife:
1 box Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Torpedos
1 5-stick Kinky Friedman sampler (some new vitolas for this year)
1 Kinky Friedman Cigars tee shirt
5 tins Padron Corticos

[DennisP]

I got one of the newer stinky's in black and a cigar caddy hat holds 2, perfect for when I travel on business (no need for my 10).

My wife and kids got me me a new carbon fiber 5 ct. travel case (Andre Garcia), two bottles of scotch (Balvanie 15 yr. Single Barrell, and a 18 yr. Yamazaki), and a Xikar Carbon Fiber cutter. I'm pretty sure they're keepers.

[VirtualSmitty]

My parents gave me an Ashton VSG sampler :tu

[smokin5]

Indirectly.....
My dear mate, the Queen B!tch, bought me
the Autobiography of Mark Twain Vol.1. :)

Good reading about a great cigar smoker.

[Bubba - NJ]

My father gave me a 3 Oliva Serie G torpedo maduros and 2 Ashton aged maddies . My mother was not very happy about it , then she saw my cigar cabinet and really let her feeling be known . :sl It was pretty funny to my father and myself .

[jesseboston81]

Nothing gifted from others, but I'll be gifting myself some sticks to be chosen at a later date. :D

[Bill86]

Nope, no one in my family gives booze or smokes for gifts apparently.....so I'll have to go buy them as they do sure give $$$$. Probably better that way.

[Black Label]

Oh yes, my brother gave me sweet box of cigars!

[Knip23]

My wife got me
1. RP velvet edition (was tasty)
1. RP Ocean Club (been wanting to try for a while now)
1. RP Royal Order
1. AF Rosado Gran Reserve

And her parents got me
1. Ashton ESG (alwasy wanted to try)

Was a great Christmas.

My wife and kids got me me a new carbon fiber 5 ct. travel case (Andre Garcia), two bottles of scotch (Balvanie 15 yr. Single Barrell, and a 18 yr. Yamazaki), and a Xikar Carbon Fiber cutter. I'm pretty sure they're keepers.

Yeah, I'd keep for a little while longer anyway.. :tu

[OnlyDryReds]

A stinky from step daughter and wife purchased two different RP 60's samplers and 2 Nub Habano Samplers. :)

[jmsremax]

Nope and the only thing I asked for that was cigar related was a cigar caddy. :sh

[Lautréamont]

My wife got me a four pack of Davidoff Puro d'Oro Sublimes.

[RatherUneek]

Xikar Havana Collection 15 count travel humidor from my fiance and her uncle got me a box of Gurkha Park Avenue Churchills. Never heard of them but I hope they are at least decent. Cheaps sticks but you never know.

[cmitch]

I got a Nub from my Brother-in-law and herfed it with my pals at the Cigar Shop Christmas night. Since so many family members were down on their luck, financially, we just skipped buying gifts this year and spent what we had on FOOD!:noon

[babybob2k]

No stuff specifically for cigars, but I got a Vector Maximus pipe lighter.

[HollywoodQue]

Future wifefy hates cigars, but some of my CA brothers hooked me up at a herf.

I know the feeling. My wife hates them. So you know she wont be buying me anything cigar related

[St. Lou Stu]

No, Vin's dog.

Why you kick my dog?:D

[Giants85]

gf got me the 2010 Fuente Holiday Collection

[OLS]

This was a first for me, my sister always searches high and low through her various haunts for cigar crap
for me or my stocking. Books, calendars, shirts, ashtrays. This year I came up on the short end, but I did get
a Saints Shirt she found. She finds all this stuff at Value Village and other similar places. It's been 4-5
Chrimmazzes in a row until now that she has scored for me. So no.

But I DID pass by a firehouse where the guys were out in the snow playing, throwing snowballs, etc.
I was parking for church at the time and decided I'd let em raid my road box. They cleaned me out,
all habanos. They left me a Upmann No.2 I had already cut, lol. So good tip, if you want people to
stay away from your best smokes, cut em. SO THEY got cigar-related stuff this year. I got a rock.
But it had been a sparse year for me, missed the Toys for Tots, only put about 2 bucks in the Salvation
Army kettle...I had been bad. So I was due to pass the cheer.

[14holestogie]

Wifey got me a cigar scissor for those pesky big ring gauges and the in-laws got me a few singles. They did pretty well for not knowing what they were looking for. Only 1 Gurkha (G3) in the bunch. :)

The scissors are reputed to be great tools. You should be happy about them in the future.

[guitar4001]

i have made it clear that i do not want cigars for a present as I never get anything that I will smoke. my wife got me an awesome lighter and my mother in law got me a cigar cutter/swiss army knife...i am very pleased.

[alexa071]

Carbon fiber Palio cutter... the ONLY thing I actually WANTED for Christmas! :banger

[Drez]

i was "allowed" by the warden to go on a cigar shopping spree. she thought i spent about 200 bucks when its was more than triple that :)

did snag up a bunch of opus, some ashton vsg's, padron's, af sampler, 2 boxes of t-52 pigs, box of diesels, box of perdomo nick sticks, a bunch of random singles, stinky, new xikar, and a couple lighters.

needless to say my vino and 100 ct are about to blow and i still have 2 boxes on the way........

[Hippi3Slay3r]

I got a Casa Fuente ceder lined leather 5 finger trevel case from Uncle CasaDooley :)

-(P

[BigCat]

My wife got me a box of Cubao maduros. My sister-in-law got me a box of padron 3000 maduros. And my sisters got me a box of Brazilias. I consider that a pretty good haul - and I'm pretty well re-stocked on maduros for now.

[kelmac07]

Can never have too many maduros Colin!! :dr :dr

[BigCat]

Can never have too many maduros Colin!! :dr :dr

Agreed, which is why I'm contemplating a box of 601 blue labels with my Christmas cash!

[swh127]

I bought a box of Anejo Sharks and macanudo reserva dorada 2010 for our annual cigar swap. My friends were very happy this year.

[pektel]

A lot of you guys got some excellent cigar gifts!

I did not get a single stick/accessory for Christmas. No biggie though, because I did get stuff I needed, the biggest one being a new starter for my car.

[Cornrow_Wallis]

I got a nice Adorini desktop. Nothing in there yet, but I'm gonna start working on that.

[kaisersozei]

My assistant gave me a nice gift!

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/asst.jpg

And my wife "gave" me these:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/wife.jpg

Well, technically, she'll give them to me once she goes on-line to balance the checking account. :r

Oh, and I can't forget SvilleSanta--I mean Secret Santa's ;)--hit on me:

GF got me a box of Anejo sharks!

[neoflex]

Sounds like a keeper.:tu

[sammyboy405]

MPD340 (Jeff)

Gave me a 5 Slot Cigar Travel Case.. love it! No more going to Herfs with a Ziplock bag lol

[kelmac07]

Wish I had an "assistant". :D

[Costa]

With the help of Brad (thanks again) and the GF, it was a great Xmas. From the GF I got from Cigarmony the following (anyone have any experience with Aeolus?):

http://www.cigarmony.com/images/products/display/bocote01.jpg
http://www.cigarmony.com/ProductImages/vfuel.jpg
http://www.cigarmony.com/ProductImages/tri-pump-2c.jpg

[rizzle]

That draw tool came from Cigarmony? Looks nice. I wish our board resident tool maker would make sheaths for his tools like that. :tu

[pektel]

Looks like a "tool" that takes some batteries and one you'll have to hide from the GF... :r

Wish I had a draw tool though. I just have a wire coat hanger for those instances...

Is that a triple flame you mount on the top of the vector fuel can? Schweeeeeeet...

[jet66]

http://www.cigarmony.com/ProductImages/tri-pump-2c.jpg

Nice! I got the gunmetal version. I didn't think to post a pic earlier...

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/jet1966/Cigars/VectorTriP.jpg

[jj20030]

bought myself a couple things a box of 2010 oliva v maduros and 2 different kinds of the sierra nevada 30 year anniy. beers , well ill have to figure out the attachments to get the sizes of the photos right, cant you tell im a noob, :sh

[Bill86]

Nice! I got the gunmetal version. I didn't think to post a pic earlier...

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/jet1966/Cigars/VectorTriP.jpg

How are those giant triple torches?

[Devanmc]

dad just told me there is a stinky ashtray in the mail for me. ill post pics of the boxes and smokes once they all arrive. seems the family wanted me to pick since they dont know what i smoke

[jj20030]

Nice! I got the gunmetal version. I didn't think to post a pic earlier...

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/jet1966/Cigars/VectorTriP.jpg

looks like you could weld with that thing or toast a few ants too,, lol :D

[jet66]

How are those giant triple torches?

It works good. It's really no more torch than their smaller 3-flames, you just have a much larger fuel tank. Nice for those times when you have 3 or more people smoking and nobody else has a lighter. (Which is all the time, around here. :D)

[Ranger_B]

My soon to be Father in law picked up the swiss army cigar knife and had it engraved for me. I tell you what I am not much for a punch cut but with this thing I may have to try it out a few more times. At the very least the blade is very sharp so I could always go with the V cut.

[Damocles]

My better half got me a beautiful leather 3-stick carrier with a monogrammed lighter and cutter. Smooth!

[Thammy]

Not a cigar gift, but my Dad came through for me and got me a new pipe. (most likely a winslow) Except I do not get to see it until he gets back from Afghanistan in february. Needless to say I am very excited to see it.

[junkinduck]

One bad cutter. I guess you could cut a cigar with it. I just really wanted to show it off so here it is.

http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae60/junkinduck/997caa45.jpg

It is a Gränsfors Bruks axe hand forged. It is totaly cool if your into that sort of thing. If not I guess it is just an over priced axe.

[Springsman]

Love axes...I'm a double bit kind of guy myself.

[junkinduck]

They make a killer double bit but I wanted a small forest axe for camping. I am looking at the double bit but it comes at a heafty price.

[Cattani]

50 ct glass top humi
solution
guillotine cutter
lighter
5 smokes from my uncle

Nice GB!

I have the hatchet and it's a joy to use.

For cheaper but still good quality (and warranty!) the Fiskars hatchets, axe, and splitter have been nothing short of amazing.

Related gifts, got myself a good variety and a couple small humidors to organize life :tu

[Krish the Fish]

The closest cigar-related gift I got was cash :r

But I'm buying myself a Rimowa travel humidor, so I guess that will count.

[yakman]

The wife got me my first humidor and 20 sticks to go with it and direct tv for the garage.

I love my Fiskars axe. It works well as an axe, a wedge, a hammer... It takes a beating and still works like a champ.

That's pretty sweet right there!

my Christmas loot

[Neens]

Pretty much every year I get like 20 sticks from 3 or 4 people but this year all I got was a gift certificate to the owl shop. I think it might be the best cigar gift I have ever gotten, normally I end up with some sticks I know I don't like but always try again anyway because they were gifts.

[Drez]

On a side not my girlfriend did say that she will never try to go gift shopping for me again and will just get me sticks for Xmas and my birthday.

Woot woot!!!!!

[fhrblig]

I just got a gift from a co-worker that had kept forgetting to bring it in. $40 gift certificate to a B&M. Awesome, because I just slashed my cigar budget. Even better, I also got some Irish whiskey so now I have something to go with it!
