What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[jamespowers]

AB SoC and a Partagas Serie D Number 4, both on the beach today. After dinner a RP Spring robusto.

Darn, you aren't going to have any left to send to me if you keep smoking them all.

I've determined that they're available for much less expense elsewhere.

Esoterica Dorchester in a Le Nuvole horn. A great smoking Italian briar.

Funny isn't it?

A Cohiba Esplendido for me and an RP Spring collection for Dee.

Two factors, tourism and the rule of supply and demand. They can be had for $6.20 per stick, but there they ran $12 to $15 a stick. I paid the $15 price because they were stored properly. At the place where they were $12 the sticks were spongy as all get out, and when I squeezed them I thought water was going to run out of them.

Over humidified I suppose. [huh] $12-15 is a real screwing that is for sure. At $6 it is a deal though. You can get a whole box for less than what they will sell you half a box for.

Cohiba eh? I find them overrated for what they are really. The ones from exotic little islands are better than the garden variety stuff but those are still overrated as well. How do you find them in comparison to other brands? [huh]

Yes. I inquired about the box price, and the lady said $350. A box of 25 at $15 each would be $375 so not much a box price break. She was selling singles for $16, 3/$45, and 25 (box) for $350. Perhaps next time I'll take my own and save some money.

Take your own and sell them at a profit you mean.
You can buy a box for $155 and make nearly $200.
You could pay for your trip with enough boxes.

AB Maxx to the cigar store and El Titan del Bronze Redemption home. The Redemption was very enjoyable. Next visit to Black Cat Cigars I will pick up a box.

An AB SoC at the range. And at home an AB SCR for me and Family Blend for Dee.
