Help Me Celebrate SCHIP!

04-01-2009, 10:12 AM

In honor of SCHIP going into effect today, or it being the official deadline, I have decided to go on a small cigar spending spree.

Actually, no. I hate SCHIP, but I still haven't had any hauls lately and after quitting last night with how slow CI was, I'm making my purchase today. My budget it ~250. I plan on buying a bunch of 5ers. Let me know what you guys think are great value purchases on CI.

Remember though, the best value cigar doesn't translate to "the best cheap smoke". It's all subjective.

LET ME HEAR IT!

As you can probably tell. I really like these. I have a couple boxes sitting at home already. I should be good on these for a bit.

These are good as well, around the same price as the short story.

I would love to if the prices weren't so ungodly high here in downtown Chicago. The prices are ridiculous.

I didn't really "celebrate SCHIP" per se because I hate that cigar tobacco was targeted along with cigarettes, but i did go on a spree last night. I was actually able to get through the slowness at CI and ordered 4 boxes.

1 bundle tierra del sol maduro
1 box CI-Legends Orange Label (Rocky Patel)
1 box 5 Vegas Gold + 12 torps (this is for my wedding cigar bar)
1 box RyJ Habana Reserve

And I even purchased a "special" box..
