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.

Stay calm, they are down to $24.55 now

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.

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

Well, I can certainly remember telegraphs and manual typewriters.

Morning Blue

$5 with FS is more than I would pay for 10 of them

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.

Time for me to get to work around here.

Yes and no. Don't think I would do that to a BotL.
