Just like searching the daily deals. I don't need more but hey I always want.

I agree with that. And I do make some purchases because of the information I get from the enablers on here. But I wasn't about to buy a new pipe and tobacco at a B&M.

Maybe not a pipe but a corona or robusto. Hey you could always have bought a cob. Guys at the club swear by them. I have 2 and they do the job but I love my Briar's

I am so old I can remember waking up and expecting to find a nice offer or two on the daily deals.  Magically back in those days the deals would actually sell out.

Dave your so old they would send you a telegraph....Just kidding

Deal #1 has to be a missprint.

Ya. I thought that was kinda funny. Surely they mean $25. Or maybe 20 for $45.

I still wouldn't bite on it. There used to be a high primings version of the 5Vegas that was pretty good. But the Classic, meh.

I think we all had our share of the Vegas lines but moved along long time ago.

Exactly.
