Need HELP! Unemployed.. How do I cut down this order?
 
I'm unemployed. I want cigars.
This is my second order, the first one was a sampler pack (I've gone into shops before and bought a single or three, this is my second order of more than 5 cigars)
I need to cut this order down.. But I don't know what to cut.
The only thing I don't want to cut is the Cigar of the Month club, it's a 5 cigar per month sampler pack that I want to do for a little bit to try out a variety of different cigars.

Help??!

I would cut the month to month and just order singles/make your own samplers when you can.

Month to month bills are for the employed.

<-----is Unemployed too.

I just order cigars as I can.

Was thinking about that. It's $33.

If you want to try different cigars check out the newbie sampler trade. Oh, and the cigar club thing is likely a waste. If you want to try different cigars, just order a sampler of different cigars.

Yeah can it.

With the most luck you are getting your monies worth exactly. It's certainly no deal.

Out of that list most of the cigars are very generic. Certainly nothing special, the 601 blues are good and those el triunfadors are alright. The rest not so sure. I didn't like the MX2, I've got a Black market to smoke....not in any hurry to get to that either.

Re: Need HELP! Unemployed.. How do I cut down this order?
 
This is what I settled on, I tried the alec bradley's and Monte cristo before and really liked them so those ones I was hard pressed to cut completley:

Montecristo Classic, Churchill, Connecticut
Alec Bradley Family Blend, GS57, Habano
601 Blue Box-Pressed Maduro, Prominente, Maduro
Romeo y Julieta Res. Maduro, Churchill, Maduro

Oliveros King Havano Oscuro Monarch

Looks like you made some good cuts. Single sizes of different blends will give you an idea of the profile of each blend. Although there are small differences in the flavor of each size, they generally are very close. :2

Re: Need HELP! Unemployed.. How do I cut down this order?
 
My suggestion is to buy samplers from CI. you can get good sticks down to two buck a stick that would otherwise cost 8 or 10 buck each, and a couple are a buck a stick

kingcobradude 11-29-2011 10:58 PM

Re: Need HELP! Unemployed.. How do I cut down this order?
 
and there are other good deals on CI

I'm unemployed as well. I usually don't buy cigars unless one of the killer sampler deals pops up from CI or Cigar.com, or Cigar Monster.

Some how I still managed to fill one and a half 50ct humis in no time.

I'm convinced that bill just "pretends" to be unemployed and is really a lotto winner or something :r


As for the OP topic

I would use the 33 bucks and browse the common online retailers (famous, ci, cbid etc)


Cigar monster will normally have samplers for less than 30 bucks with free shipping. Shop around and you can build your own bigger samplers for the same if not less.

Also like mentioned the newbie sampler trade is a great place to start.

Cigars are a luxury and if you're unemployed, then I would quit smoking them. I've slowed way down on cigar purchases, myself, and I am employed.

I like the way the line runs up the back of their stockings...

I've always liked those kinda high heels too.....

No, no, no, Baby, don't take 'em off, don't take 'em off, leave 'em on...

Yeah, that's it....a little more to the right.
