Morning "knew it" Fish, guess "bought them cheaper" Bean will be here soon.
Speaking of CheapyCheapoBean, Charlie and I were talking about the La Palina Mr. Sams yesterday. Wasn't there a kick-ass deal on them a while back and what was it?
Don't ask me, the La Palina line isn't one of my favs so haven't been hunting them.
I like them a lot and yes there was but a while back was close to a year or more. I am not like Bean and don't keep an excel diary of what I buy because I don't have to submit monthly cigar expense reports like he does but it was like 10/$38-40ish for coronas I think, I bought quite a few. I can't even remember where I got them.
Two years ago I bought three 10'ers of various sizes from the sis at $5 ea and applied a $25 coupon, came to about $4 ea. You and I were going to a split but never got together, and I ended up smoking through most of them.
But there were no Mr Sams included in those were there?
No. El Diario Kill Bill and Black Label. And I ordered two 10'ers, so $3.75 ea after coupon. Haven't tried the Mr. Sam. We need ClemsonDave to advise us.
Mr. Sam is probably the best of the La Palina line IMHO. Great burn characteristics and solid flavors. Not necessarily my personal preferred flavor profile, or I would smoke them more. I'v'e only had the robusto, which I think was the only size originally. KB is a potent little sucker. Nice when you want to go full but don't have much time. Goldie is the other that I enjoy a lot. Haven't had the Black Label.
Somebody mention Sam?
how's it going all?
Wow. Hiya, Sam. How've you been?
Hey Tony! Been ok thanks! was a crazy busy summer. how are you making out? family ok?
Sorry, Sam. All hell broke loose at work.
Otherwise, the family and I are doing well. Still generally employed. Therefore, same ole, same ole.
