Picked these up on a local Groupon deal for a total of $35 out of my pocket.  All sticks I have never gotten around to trying.

Nice pickup! Those Curivari's are great. The El Gran Rey is an excellent cigar, very close to a ISOM, in my humble opinion.  :biggrin:

I agree.  And the Flor de las Antillas is one of my new favorites as of late.  Really hits the sweet spot on my flavor profile.  A smooth and easy smoke!

I can't afford my local B&M. They are in some cases twice the price as online. I feel bad because I have seeked advice from them a time or two and they have great guy there Charlie. I have bought a few times from them

What is your local B&M?  If they have events, that is the best time to pick up cigars.

$35 is exactly half of what it would have cost without the Groupon.  As Nathan pointed out, the time to go to B&M's is during events or when they have some sort of promotion going on such as this.

Went to meet my brother at the B&M yesterday to put some cigars in our locker, and I landed up getting this.  Been waiting for it.  It's the
Destino al Siglo Sampler Blue Humidor.  It has a BBMF, 2 Opus X Tauros the Bull, and a Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario, Double Robusto in it.  Not gonna smoke these until at least next Summer.  Merry Christmas to me!

They were having a sale at the local today and I just couldn't resist! Only knocked me back $42 for the lot. Well bought a little pipe tobacco in there as well. Cigars were only around $30+

So jealous of all the cigar porn... I'm heading down to the Dominican Republic in two weeks, so hopefully I'll have some of my own to post soon!

nice. I like the AF DCs to break it up once in awhile.

Wellllllll, I saw that the Forbidden X 13's have been shipped to big Fuente accounts this week, so I decided to go hunting.  I'm very lucky to have 2 great B&M shops within 5 minutes of where I work.  I went to my home shop, and they didn't have any.  Went by the other shop, and they had a box each of these sizes.  There was no limit, but I didn't want to be greedy.  I'm a huge Opus X fan, so I had to hunt these down.

Ya couldn't beat the prices either. Didn't care for the classic but my guy said the AB American Sungrown's were MUCH better. Haven't smoked any of these except the Don Carlos before so I'm just knocking back all kinds of first time smokes this month  :dancing:

Saw a posting on FB that the local store had some Anejo Sharks! So I reserved some and picked them up today, along with 2 Oliva V Maduro 2012, a L'Atelier LAT54, and a Surrogates Tramp Stamp.

Was out picking up a cake (red velvet--my favorite) for this weekend's family Christmas for the Mayos, and stopped by Club Humidor. They had the Hustler sticks by 7 20 4! Very glad to catch those available. (pic by StogieReview--too lazy to take a pic right now)

Got a good deal on some Montecristo Epics at my local B&M.  Planning to let these sit in the humidor for a while, but the couple of singles I tried were darn tasty.

The only event they have at mine is picking my pocket every time I walk into the place! :biggrin:
