I see the V double Robustos are back at the Monster.

Pretty good deals @ $3.38 a stick w/codes... need to add a Boveda or something to the tubos. Shank used a cheapy cutter.

I sure did. With a $2 cutter and the $10 off code on the tubos they wind up being $0.02 more ea. I already ordered 2 boxes of the tubos. In hindsight I could have just bought the bigger box, but the extra couple pennies is worth it for the tubes and an extra wooden box. I might give the second box to a buddy that's getting married (in addition to a real wedding present). He's not much of a smoker, though, so I also might keep em both for myself.

I vote you get him a gravy boat and keep the smokes.

Uh, YEAH. Sheesh, how was this even a question?

Sure, says the guy that gifted a bunch of cigar deals for "so-called" friends for xmas gifts.

Those gifts went to people who have frequently gifted me with cigars, booze, or ammunition. Wedding gifts are a whole other deal.

Another thing wrong with Millennials....only 1 in 5 has tried a Big Mac.

Big givaeway tomorrow as well as additional sizes to the Big Mac:

McDonald’s is marking the rollout of its revamped Big Mac sandwiches by giving away 10,000 bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce.

Yup, you can take that special sauce home.

The bottles of Big Mac Special Sauce will be available on Jan. 26 at participating locations around the country.

The fast-food chain is offering the Big Mac in two additional sizes for a limited time. For those who want a Big Mac, but aren't interested in overloading on calories, the Mac Jr. offers a single-patty burger, while those who want to over-indulge can order the Grand Mac, which has a larger patty and an extra slice of cheese.

Apparently, they have taste!

No, they just use a 3D printer to make lunch. The special sauce could help though.

Help make the decision to throw it away easier, you mean.

I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years, but isn't the secret basically thousand island dressing?

I believe so. That was my first job, and I remember the smell of it made me want to vomit. No thanks.

My first job was at Carvel Ice Cream.  Got into food service working at Great Adventure the first two years it was open in NJ.

Made a mean Fudgie the Whale as well!

Oh, the irony.

I have a feeling that new tuppordore is right around the corner. lol

Starting to look that way.

Not everyone can afford $1100 a month for cigars... like some folks. 

Smartass. It was $550 a month for two months and I'm fuk'n broke until middle of February. ;-)

+1 

A toaster or crock pot works as well.  we still have a crock pot wedding gift from 39 years ago.

Absolutely. Have one myself... and an 8qt electric pressure cooker. That thing is a beast.

Lol! I think that will be the winning vote. I did order the Cusano Magnum coronas just now (decided to give 'em a try). I'll probably take a handful of those. He'll be just as happy.

Exactly.  If they enjoy the economy stuff for infrequent smokes, no use in wasting the special stuff.

Paid $19 each for my 74qt. weathertight tote using my 15% POP discount at the container store. Just sayin'.

Hear ye, hear ye! Finally got around to pre-registering for CF tickets. Given my current job situation and in the hopes that I will be gainfully employed by then, I registered for Saturday. Don't wanna be asking for vacay days so soon.

I'm also contemplating a frigador. I have a hard time keeping my apartment below 90 during the day in the summer (window AC can't keep up). In order to protect the flavors in my cigars, I'll either need to add a stand-alone AC in the bedroom, find another place to keep my smokes, or move. Lol. (Or buy the fridge.)

[ss2]

time for a lunch smoke.  thinking about a DPG Blue.  will probably go with that.
