Just ordered a Pick 10 for $49 from the Cigar.com home website. I picked a wide variety. Price was great and it was fun to pick 10 different sticks. Will post when they arrive !!
I'm on a Chris-style buying freeze. The cigar authority care package is hit or miss but this month I got the Perdomo firecracker as a preview and the kristoff firecracker.
Then of course I had to use my reward cash before it expires at SI:
And I found something interesting to spend my SB rewards on, so I had to pay two bucks for this box of La Zona goodness...
And as an added bonus, I got Allan's mooch package, which contains a bucket list cigar (CH), a few I've never tried, and my favorite Avo....thanks @WaterNerd!!

Couple pickups from a B&M , trying those Villiagers since Edward digs them.
They had some **** Fohiba, bad construction, horrible band, just missing the glass top box.
Selling fohibas in a b&m? We're they Cuban rounds or fake cohibas or atabeys?
Flat out fake cohiba esplendidos. Worst part is there was only 3 left in the box. Next time I’m over there I’ll pick one up. It was a vape shop with a walk in humidor.

Oh. Now I get it. Vape shop. Lololol. How much?
No price. Box looked legit but the bands where terrible. The “Havana Cuba” was cut off at the bottom by the cricked checkerboard pattern. It is a big walk-in, fully stocked and humidified. So I will give them that. Maybe an 8x15 room will five to six rows of shelves.
Nice! ^
I got the Coffee of the Month shipment from @peter4jc, Burundi roasted and green, along with a bodyguard--H Uppmann José Méndez which I am smoking now with a cup of Peony Green tea. Beautiful afternoon, mosquitoes haven't shown up in force yet.

Wow, USPS must've kept it on the truck that picked it up and drove it all the way to you. Not that it matters, with the off-gassing and all.
Interesting (to me) sidenote; Phil the Katman is local to me and works at a cigar shop I visit once in a while. I've never met him and didn't know this until last week, after reading a review on a different cigar. Like every reviewer, they can be of value or not, but at least his are entertaining. Then, like icing on the cake, in that other review, he wrote something of a review for the PerfecDraw draw tool in the comments and mentioned he has an 'in' with the dentist/inventor. So I posted a comment, and then went to PerfectDraw's website to ask the same question. I bought the original version and wanted one for my kit that is kept in my locker at the lounge, and the second version doesn't work as well for me. Rod Kurthy the inventor wrote back to tell me I was probably using it wrong (he was right - after following what he wrote in his reply it works better than the original) and also said it's been tweaked again so he's going to send the latest version free of charge. I told him I wasn't one of those guys that complains to get free stuff, but he wouldn't listen. He seems like a nice enough guy.

Here’s what I ordered from the Cigar.com Own Creation $49 Pick 10 deal. Never smoked any of these before. Wish me luck!
That Ave Maria is a good stick and nub is decent IMO. Never had any of the others. That’s a good variety to find what you like.
You should reach out to @Bigshizza see if he has any $50 samplers left...
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
Strongly agree!
Couple pickups from a B&M , trying those Villiagers since Edward digs them.
They had some **** Fohiba, bad construction, horrible band, just missing the glass top box.
Villiger's come out with some good cigars lately.
The Monte white and cohiba blue are pretty good, too.
Trapped in the People's Communits Republic of Massachusetts.

Bought me a bottle of Basil Hayden for Fathers Day. What the hell? I deserve it. Besides, I don’t recall ever tasting it before.
If you don’t believe me, just ask me. I’ll tell ya..... 😜
Random daily dealings...
Picked up two Zombie FHA
A Saka trade with @VegasFrank to get my hands on frog juice plus he sent me a few birthday stowaways! Thanks Frank!
@Patrickbrick sent me a backup for my make a wish post and some other great smokes. Thanks brother.
The epernay is the new anniversary, the deliverance is 14, the wanderlust is first release, bishops are new. Enjoy my friend.

A buddy of mine thoughtfully picked up this 40 count jobbie for me at an estate sale. Let's see if it holds humidity....
Some of my orders showed up

Sounds good Edward.
It was, @deadman, and the cigar was fantastic. Here's an accurate and amusing review:

Used to read his reviews a lot. Everything was a story and kind of entertaining
