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.

Not everyone can afford $1100 a month for cigars... like some folks.  :-X
Smartass. It was $550 a month for two months and I'm fuk'n broke until middle of February. ;-)

Hey, just a little funnin, Bret. Not everyone can just fall into money.
Been saving that one, have you?

maybe

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.
...And it still tastes like paste.
long tome ago(back in the 70's), I was working in a Burger King, and it was Black Friday, so we had long lines.
The Ice machine was out, the soda came out cold, but wouldn't stay that way for long.  The woman comes up and orders a whopper and a large Tab. told her about the ice, but she wanted it anyway. she gets her order, and walks away to go eat in the dining room.  about a half hour later, she comes back in line, with a half empty large tab, with a look on her face, that says nothing I can do is going to be able to make it better.  When it's her turn, she slams the cup on the counter and shouts, "This Tab, tastes like dirty dishwater!".  All the customers stare at me and her now.  Knowing that it is now my turn, I just calmly turn to her and say, "Mam, you are going to have to stop drinking dirty dishwater, and coming in here,
to do these comparison taste tests", and I turn and take the next order.  the customers are smirking and she is shocked silent. As I finish, the order she says, "Excuse me sir, this Tab", and I cut her off, "tastes like warm Tab, i did mention the ice machine was broken, can I get you another?" she smiles and says yes, and I had nice customers for the next 20 minutes.   this long winded story was my way of saying Ragz, why are you eating paste?

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

Starting to look that way. :)
Paid $19 each for my 74qt. weathertight tote using my 15% POP discount at the container store. Just sayin'.

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.)
Smart thinking. Tupperdor only works for me because my basement stays about the same temperature all year long.

You must be a city boy. If you don't know the taste of a variety of adhesives, you've never worked in the construction trades.

Wineador sounds like an ideal solution to that problem. Have one myself, though, it stays in my basement, so I don't need to have it plugged in.

grew up with a babbling brook in the backyard and over the bridge were, rabbits, chickens and ducks. from time to time there were geese, a goat, a horse, and a 400lb pig that got into the garage and was eating about 50lbs of cracked corn.  Technically I was growing up in New York City, just a rather bucolic portion of Staten Island.  I have used liquid adhesives, just never put any on my lunch.

This is the one I have, though, I'm sure you could do better on the price with some searching. I can also direct you to a place to get custom shelving for it, and then you're all set.
