Super noob question on the AF Short Story

Sonic04GT · 11-04-2011, 05:39 PM

So what do you guys normally pay for these things?

They're $5.49 at Total Wine and about $4.88ea from CI but that's for a 25 box. Too much for me right now.

Edit - Well would ya look at that... Cigar Monster just so happens to have a Mega Mashup going on and the little guys are on there for $21.98 shipped/5pk @ $4.40 each.

Oliva Serie O Petit Perfecto 5 Pack is on there too. Don't think I'll buy them without trying one first but what do you guys think?

OK, knock that sh!t off right now!!

Geez, I had a 5'er of SS, a 5'er of Hemingway classics and a 5'er of the 8-5-8 maduros in my cart before I knew what was happening!!

Fortunately (for my bank account) I stopped myself at the checkout!

I've been so good lately to stay away from that place but that Hemingway blend is my favorite! They dang near sucked me back in to the black hole!

Sheesh! I'm gonna go drink a glass of rum now!

Hahahaha, well, I'm glad you at least found some good deals!

I'm telling your significant other.

I restrained myself and bought just the SS

Looks like your lighting question got sorted. I'm a big fan of both the SS and the WOA (Work Of Art). I've found them to be super consistent, and have thoroughly enjoyed every one that I've smoked.

No, they're not cheap for a small, short smoke...but yes, they're worth it - or at least I think so.

Next get a SS maduro. Much better to me.

Kind of a funny storry. I gave one to my dad who rarely smokes cigars. I set him loose with my cigar cutter and lighter after I lit mine and he ended up cutting the foot off and lighting the cap. I knew he was a noob, but not to that level. All the rum drinking beforehand could have played a role in it though.

I didn't care for the serie o perfecto. Too strong and harsh for me. I like their Cain nubs a lot though. Daytona wasn't bad either.

Got a box of those resting. Definitely try the maduro as well, very good cigars.
