I rarely bought a 5 pack or sampler, but, opted for a bundle or box, sometimes two of each or more. I have tamed down and bid very little now or buy very little. Hell, I have just about everything and no where to put new boxes or bundles, unless I build a larger walk-in and that aint going to happen. I must admit, though, am a sucker for 10% or 20% off on sticks especially if I dont have too many of that brand. In another thread, I posted am always looking for $1 stick, so that still stays with me. Cusano lower end prices for sticks, CC, M1, MC, P1's, and Alec Bradley's Spirit of Cuba are the latest. Even with all that said, Free Cuba at $1. a bundle of 50 for $50 at CI is the best for me.

But you never said how many you have, Chuck.
