Double happiness sampler...
 

I just jumped on a double happiness sampler that contains the following:


1 - 5 Vegas Triple-A Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Diesel Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Double Happiness Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Graycliff G2 Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Graycliff Turbo Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Gurkha Blue Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Gurkha Red Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Man O’ War Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Man O’ War Ruination Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)
1 - Padilla Achilles Two-Headed Monster (10” x 48)


Most of these cigars I like, a couple I haven't had. That being said, my thoughts are that once I get them, I'll cut them in half, effectively giving me 20 normal sized cigars... Anyone else done this? I tried to search "double happiness" and didn't get much...

Screw that! Leave them alone and smoke them as is! ;)

:lr :lr :lr

I would say try one both ways...who knows!!

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

I'd be interested on your take on this. I decided not to pull the plug when I saw it last year. My gut feeling is that they will smoke "weird" no matter how you slice them.

Seemed like a gimmick to me.

A true bad ass smokes one to the nub without cutting it. Just sayin'.

Good luck with that amigo.

Keep in mind, you're talking to the same guy that smoked an entire Puros Indios Chief 18x66 in just over 4 hours... These puny 10x48's are nothing! :D

Just smoke it like that & see if it works foryou... Or you can always puff puff pass... :ss

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

Aren't you supposed to cut both ends, punch the middle, light both ends and smoke it from the middle? :confused: :ss

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

I read a website on these... they are specially rolled apparently... the manufacturer wanted the cigars to perform both as 1 freaking long cigar... and as 2 robusto's.... there are you tube videos of guys spending hours in their basement smoking these... one guy said it lasted for a full 4 hour drive... apparently some blends produce more resin as they smoke down and the tip may need to be trimmed to allow for a better draw... but there ya go...

Apparently the Ruination in the 9 in configuration kicks ass...

Anyway... hope you enjoy...!!

Barry (Bscottskangum) bought this almost two years ago. He cut them in half and they seemed to smoke fine.

I wouldn't smoke any Puro Indios, too much like torture. :pu

Well, at the time, I was a part time rep for Reyes Family cigars, and it was initiation to smoke a Chief at your first event at a B&M... I picked up the 10 pack of double happiness for $20 on the devil site so I figured $20 for 20 decent sticks was a good enough price...

They aren't bad, or good. Just a bunch of A.J. Fernandez stuff in a weird giant stick format. Which gives them a very tight migraine inducing draw unless you cut them in half. I highly recommend cutting them in half.

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

Yup. 80% of these are good sticks that I enjoy. I plan to cut them all in half, effectively giving me 20 sticks for around $1 each.. and they are good sticks at that.

If you wanna sell one, let me know man.

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

Which one are you looking at? I only bought one 10 pack sampler... Are you looking for an entire 10 pack, or just a specific cigar out of there?

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

I purchased a 5 pack sampler some years ago. These smoke the same as the actual cigar- most peeps just cut them in half. Yes, it is a gimmick.

Re: Double happiness sampler...
 

I paid $20 plus 5 to ship the 10 pack. I planned on cutting each one in half, giving me 20 robusto sized smokes for $20... Seems like a good deal to me for some tasty sticks.

That'll work!
