My wife wants to order something for herself and a friend but wants free shipping and asked me if I could spend $101. Doesn't make sense to me since she could spend less by just paying for shipping, but who am I to argue? Doesn't have to be exactly $101, I suppose, so here's what I'm thinking...
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    I would get my wife 10 E.P. Carrillo La Historia E III, and then 3 Espinosa Laranja Reserva because I heard they were good and I want to try.

    Agree with Penn on the Laranja Reserva, very nice smoke that I think would appeal to just about everyone. 

    I'd also pick up some LADC Nobelesse's (new-ish high end smoke from DPG factory, haven't tried them yet but hear good things).

    i would refill my DPG inventory.  5 blacks, 5 blues, 5 jjs, 5 my fathers, 5 le bijou, 5 Jaime Garcia, and 5 la duena

    i know that would be over the 101, but pick and choose your 5 packs.

    Ohhh, I could go for some La Duena for sure.  Love those as a lancero.

    I have plenty of Blues and am not a fan of the Blacks. Haven't tried the JJs.

    Might have to sneak in the Laranja and the new LADC.

    Note that these are only for me...the wife knows what she wants and is just trying to get up to $125 for free shipping.

    So she's only spending $24 and having you spend $101 to get free shipping. 
    Hahaha nice!!!!  I like that logic!  You lucky dog.

    5 Vegas Series A Apostle. I really love the flavor, it's good morning noon or night and if I had the money it would be consistently in my Humi.

    MoW puro maddies on clearance for the $30 / 10 right now. Great after-lunch smoke.
    And the Undercrown gran toros are $50 / 10 on DD right now. I have purchased that exact deal before and only had 1 stick with a slightly too tight draw. Easily a $5 smoke and you would get free shipping b/c it's the DD.
    Tack on a couple Julius Caesers and thats $100. 

    Or you could just buy 10 coyote wood, **** holders.

    Happy smoking Martel!

    If they were the habano MOWPAs, I'd jump, but not for the maddies.  And I'm kind of UCd out.  Used to buy them every deal they came up.  They're great for giving out, but this order is MINE!

    I know you all were looking for a particular cigar or two, but I would get the Thrifty Fifty!
