Need HELP! Unemployed.. How do I cut down this order?

11-29-2011, 09:54 PM

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.

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.

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.

Buy Cubans they are cheaper...

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

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.

kingcobradude · 11-29-2011, 11:34 PM

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, 11:58 PM

and there are other good deals on CI

Unemployed then don't spend money on cigars.

I still have no idea how you buy smokes, liquor and so much meat and not be working, I can only think that you pre-sold your liver, heart and stomach to science, brain....not so much

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

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.
