I see the ABC deals have
Oliva Master Blends III Robusto (5.0"x50) - 10 for $49.99
I'm not even sure that's a good deal or not since I'm not a fan of them.  But I thought some one was talking about them the other day..?  So I thought I'd toss that out there.

That's about as good as it gets for the MB3s - they have grown on me, but I would still rather smoke an O Maddy for 1/2 the price

I agree to that.  I sort of like the Infernals too.

With the cost of all of them, no use going with the "sort of likes", spend your money on the definitely likes with a little bit saved for the "want to try's"

I've been doing my best and fairly well at only buying what I like and not straying off on unknown samplers and such.

I avoid samplers myself, usually. Y'all are so far more experienced than me that I just wait for you to say something is good, then look for a deal on it.

Samplers are generally bad deals IMHO except there are sometimes samplers that are a selection of 3-5 vitola's for a certain cigar and those can be excellent and sometimes good deals.  V Sampler and Jericho Hill Sampler are a couple of good examples of those.

Probably the only samplers I'll buy now are from the same blender or product line, like Crowned Heads Six Shooter, Jericho Hill Four Pack, RoMa Craft Limited Edition El Catador De Las Petite Coronas, Tatuaje Little or Pudgy Monsters and the like.

Yea, what he said!

I'm not quite with it today, so please stand by.  I went to the doctor last week to get a bump removed from my noggin, ouch..!  I went back yesterday to get the stiches removed, and he said, "we didn't get it all, so we're going to have to do it again."  Ouch and Yikes...!  So I've been taking some of my pain pills, and I can't seem to think straight at the moment.     But I'm not drooling or anything like that.

Thinking straight has never been a requirement of the banter.
Hope you are feeling better.

I don't feel bad, it just feels like my wife hit me in the head with corner of a square glass ashtray.  The eggs turned out good, so I guess the egg frying part of my brain is working good.

That is likely what happened.  You just don't remember, what with having tossed back a few and distracted by the pot pie in the toaster oven.

Actually, I do have a pot pie in the freezer.  And I could put some Amaretto into my coffee.  Now if I could talk the wife into taking her shower early, I could flush the toilet and have a dancer too..

Thanks....  If they only have to take the stiches out on Monday, I'll be happy.

I may regret asking this, but how would you know what getting hit by your wife with the corner of a square glass ashtray feels like???   

Ya don't stay married for 43 years without a few disagreements.  But to speak up for myself, I will have to say, "She was wrong in every fight and argument."

Looking at that last post I am thinking they may have forgotten to put the stitches in and there was a leak.

Off for a lunch walk with a Torano Loyal.  BBL.

Had one of those yesterday and enjoyed it.  Not necessarily a "buy" cigar but definitely a "smokable" one.

Had a Black Crown on my drive in this morning and liked the flavors more.

Time for some lunch and a walk

It's time for a break.  BBL (maybe)

True, but not all involve heavy or  sharp implements.
