Anything on fire?Nada. Haven't smoked anything since mid week. I found myself with some time on Friday away from home and wishing I had packed a pipe and some tobacco.

Yes and no. Don't think I would do that to a BotL.The term re-gifting would apply ;)That's a good point. I was giving thought to what I'd do if they were gifted to me and decided that I still wouldn't smoke them. Therefore, they could just as well put the price back up to $45.$5 with FS is more than I would pay for 10 of themStill too high.Stay calm, they are down to $24.55 nowExactly.I think we all had our share of the Vegas lines but moved along long time ago.I still wouldn't bite on it.

I'd light one up now just to see of they are as I remember. I don't remember them being god-aweful. They probably aren't worse than the Cusano Magnum Coronas I bought for cheap quickies. I've smoked exactly one of those, tho. I've embraced the logic of some others here; my smoking opportunities are rare these days so I burn something I think I'll truly enjoy. I may burn more "yard gars" if the weather was warm and I found myself working in the yard (if I had a yard). I've actually begun to think that the "yard gar" concept is just a trick from the marketers to convince people buying crappy cigars is justified, though.
Anyhow. In thr $2.50 range there are probably better choices to be had, with the various discounts.

I've been through a couple bundles. The last one I bought sat and sat and I eventually gave them away.Wow, I'm impressed. You've come so far in such a short time.

Smoothed out a bit over the last couple weeks in the humi. Also not God awefule, but not much going on there either. Upside is the aroma isn't too strong or offensive, for the neighbors etc.

Who am I kidding. The Cusano are not good. Lol.I've had a decent Cusano or two but not something I would repurchase. I've received the majority of my Cusanos from Cigarfest handouts. The Cusano 18 Paired Maduro was the best of the lot but I don't see them as available any longer.
Edit: Cusano was bought by CI or their mother company so maybe it's just a rebrand. Seems they are still available. Like I said earlier, I'm not interested anyway.
