Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way.  Be warned, you will catch hell if you post something everyone doesn't agree with.  And heaven forbid if you should make a grammatical error, you'll be berated with GFYs!  So don't proceed if you have thin skin.  Then light a cigar, pop open your favorite pumpkin beer and welcome aboard!

Don't think the 10% works unless the total order is over $100.
I'm going to find out shortly.  I'm trying to find a cheep lighter to add to it.
Sooooooo?
I'm still looking at the lighters....  :)
The 10% off worked on a $34.05 order = $30.65.  I ended up selecting the Jetline Zippo Insert for $9.95.  My Bugatti 2002 Copper Cased lighter looks great, so I hope the Jetline insert fits it...!
Didn't realize this product existed.  I may have to purchase one too.  I'll decide after I get some sleep.  See yuz later in the a.m.
