Quote from: Joelala on 01/29/2023 06:22 PMFeel like shopping for me? I send you $100 and you send me stuff you think I like based on a few things I send through PM?

Joe, sounds great, send me a PM.

Low bidder is sitting pretty right now once again.

Quote from: appollo on 01/28/2023 02:06 PMGeez, Gary are you making room for our next split 

More like proving to my wife that I'm willing to sell some to offset at least some of our splits!  The eyebrow raise gets a little higher with each successive box that lands on my doorstep!

Take a look in my humidor for what I'm hoping to sell, the age, and prices.  Buy $100 worth and I'll cover the shipping to continental US.  Otherwise I'll ship as cheap as I can, first class is usually between $4 and $7 depending on where it's going in the US and how heavy the package is.  I can ship to the GWN as well.  Thanks fellas.

I hope everyone got their review in and enjoyed the stick, looking forward to reading the reviews.  Thanks all for participating!

Prize pack already received!  They look fantastic Paul, can't wait to light one up.  Thanks again.

At least one player mentioned to me that they did not receive a PM about their target.  If anyone else that is playing is uncertain of who they are supposed to hit and when please let me know asap.  Hoping that was just a one-off somehow.  Thanks.

Well done Ed!  And happy birthday Tom!

I love that almost everyone so far has underbid me!  You guys learn quick!

As much as I hate to say it I should have listened to my wife, she said 175, I said no way. 

I was a little surprised nobody underbid me, I'm glad your wife wasn't playing!

Can't believe that I found this one in the bottom of a humidor. For those that have had one, you know!

I remember acting just a little too late on that.  Thanks for confirming my FOMO!   

180, thanks for the contest Paul!

CigarKing occasionally does 15% off of everything on their site and I took advantage of that to nab a deal on an AF/Opus sampler which was supposed to have one Opus and 4 more unusual lower end AF sticks.  Somehow I ended up with 2 Opus sticks!  And three nice AF sticks (Untold Story, 858 Rosado, and Don Carlos double robusto) I'm looking forward to trying as well.  This was $64 before tax after the discount!  Pic is below.

I also decided to try out a couple of their Davidoff Secret Motherlode samplers.  I was always curious how good a deal these secret samplers are.  For about $100 before tax each here's what came in the regular Davidoff motherlode sampler and in the Davidoff Winston Churchill motherlode sampler.  I feel like it was a pretty good deal (average stick price around $15).  Now the geeks have an idea what's in these if you've ever been tempted to pull the trigger but were afraid to see if they tried to throw Griffins or something in there.

Argh, sorry bud, yeah, it's a bit late to shake everything up now.  It's a shame there won't be any Jokey presents this time around.  Next year!
