Just thought it was worth noting that the bundles of 20 do not come with cello, just a paper wrapped bundle of naked sticks with shrink wrap, and the shrinkwrap does not seal the bundle.  There were some very minor foot cracks and stuff that is probably a result of the packaging during shipping.  It's nothing worth complaining to Flatbed about, especially with the price I got, the sticks should still smoke fine, just something to be aware of if you're picky about cello or minor blemish issues on cigars.

I think I'll be looking for actual boxes the next time I make a Flatbed purchase, I like my sticks to have cello, just too easy to nick the wrapper, etc if they're not protected.

Word to the wise.... I've never bought bundles before, but I think I would avoid it I can since I like my stuff in cellos unless I goin to keep them in the box they came in.

And do you use a straight or V-cut while still in the cello or after removed? :confused:

Yeah, look out, no cello on those either!

I'm closing in on my summer vacation and feeling it.  All in good fun... :-)

Do you cut the cello off at the foot or leave it on?

Do you guys recommend a Cigar Oasis, Hydra, or a Humi-Care humidifier? I'm kind of liking the WiFi attachment for the Cigar Oasis. These may be to big for my large desktops though. Think I might have to upgrade to something bigger. What do you all suggest?  :biggrin:

So whats your preferred method for lighting your cigars?
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

Raul Julia

You're welcome.

Actually, I had no idea it was invented back in 1912, if I had to guess when it was invented I would've been off by 50 years.
