Nice pickups!

Here's a few Opus X for you:tu

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

It was ridunculously low but did we get rid of our cigar tax without anyone telling me? :tf






A few? What is your definition of a lot? :ss




Nice pick ups boys.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

The tax in TX I believe is ridiculously low, like 1.5 cents a cigar. One of the retailers I went to said that they only charge sales tax. It's most likely since it's almost non existant as opposed to the tax here in MI which is about 30% of the cigar's wholesale price. Overall it's a decent savings at a few dollars on some of the more expensive cigars.

Nice grabs by all!! :tu

good pick up mac :dr

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

I picked up a little something today...The B&M has had three boxes of the cohiba black churchill's for 3 years! I always forgot to put them out, so now he's reduced the price and is trying to sell them. Can get the full box for about $230 if anyone is interested! Also, I've never seen this crystal tubo rare corojo, so I had to pick it up!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Nice grabs on some great smokes people.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Being as I haven't bought a cigar in over a year, I kinda went overboard on my first purchase...

Started out buying a bundle of Famous Nicaraguan 3000's which I thought was a nice way to ease back into. Than I rediscovered my good old friend cigarbid.com and purchased a box of el mejor emeralds and a box of 5 vegas gold. Ironically, this is the first box I have ever purchased.

I forget how slippery the slope was! :ss

Pics when they get in.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Johnny...what is that "Dirty Rat"?

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

From Brooks' website (smokingstogie.com)

"Drew Estates "Dirty Rat"- a Preproduction stick that has only been given to a few people outside of Drew Estates...I was told by Steve Saka that they are trying to get the blend right, but that it uses such high quality tobacco that it may never be produced, due to the prohibitive cost... "

Dammit I hate people who get this crazy kinda stuff :D

Dan, if you don't mind me asking, how much was a box? Will that shop mail some out? I'd love to get a fiver.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

Sure those aren't 48s or even 49s? They look awefully long to be 50s (robustos).

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
 

My bad....they are 49's....

Re: Show your latest NC purchase!
