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

I've seen a dish called "Double Happiness" on the menu at a Chinese restaurant. This is an absolutely stupid gimmick, but hey, this is CI we're talking about here.

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...

Re: Why, That cigar is too BIG, sir! Can you cut it in half for me?
 
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.

The idea of smoking two gurkhas at once sounds divine.

Re: Why, That cigar is too BIG, sir! Can you cut it in half for me?
 
I want!

Seriously.

That double happiness padilla achilles has me deathly curious. Add me on to the list of the box split.

Blend-schmend... you can light EITHER SIDE... blend-schmend....


Now, to get some XL five finger bags...

There's a "double happiness" on the menu at "Heaven is A Spa" massage parlor in hackensack. Only $49.00 before 5pm.

Between this "double happiness" and those infamous Fighting . . . uh, Roosters . . . I don't much like the turn this thread is taking. :r

I say punch a hole in the middle and smoke both ends at the same time.

neoflex 02-18-2010 05:00 PM

Re: Why, That cigar is too BIG, sir! Can you cut it in half for me?
 
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 dont think they're backordered, I think they havent arrived yet...

Re: Why, That cigar is too BIG, sir! Can you cut it in half for me?
 
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.
