Someone recommended that site to me. I'll probably use them once I smoke my current stash.
I've spent a couple of K there. It is the fastest/cheapest way to fill up your stash. What're you smoking now?
I'm sort of cheap right now, so it hasn't been anything special. The regional cigar store chain has a generic Connecitcut wrapper that's pretty good, so I bought those in bulk. I tried to buy an alcohol aged sampler of Victor Sinclair from Thompson, but they sent me 20 tequila ones, so I mix those in too. Other than that, just some one-off purchases of whatever is on special at the store.
Though after looking at cigarbid, I think I can afford to expand my horizons while keeping price low. I'm interested in those Irish whiskey cigars already.
The tough part with all of this is that it's too cold to smoke outside right now. I could go to a cigar bar or a store with a lounge attached, but I assume it's proper etiquette to buy something from them if you're using their facilities. So I've just been sneaking outside whenever the weather is tolerable or we have a fire going in the backyard.
We do not have cigar bars where I live, since you cannot smoke indoors anywhere. They have some great deals if you are patient and do your research. You can usually get some decent ones for cheap. It is funny though, I started off with the factory rejects at $4 a cigar and never thought too much of it. That's the rational I use in ordering my cigars and pipe tobacco. Is $3 a stick for a Olivia decent? Heck yes it is. The shipping is where they fuck you though. I've never tried the alcohol infused cigars, but Victor Sinclair is pretty good. I bought a humidor and I have been less than impressed. I picked up two more of these today, and will put 4-5 Boveda 60s in them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NMRDQRM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I like that you do not have to break them in, they are air tight (great for the great frozen north where humidity is like 20% or lower in the winter), they are cheap and they hold a lot.
