Default NC $1000 spree

It has been a while since we've had one of these, so let's try it. You know you want to. After all, you already window shop at the online cigar retailers. In fact, you have "shopping carts" with cigars in them at more than one vendor.

So, you have exactly $1000 that your wife said you could spend on cigars, what would you get? (this is only non-Cuban cigars) Yes, it is exactly $1000 - no more than that. (We'll assume that an order over $500 automatically gets free shipping, so do worry about that.

Why $1000?

"If you go over...," your wife says, while expertly sliding the butcher knife over the sharpening steel, and walking from the room.

So, what would you get?

I would buy something that I know will sell to get my $1,000 back, and then turn around and buy a nice box or two of nice aged/limited CC's.

Here is a quick one......

Tatuaje Reserva J-21 (25/Box)

Tatuaje Regios (25/Box)

Illusione 88 - Robusto - (25/Box)

E.P. Carrillo Elencos Series Don Rubino Robusto (20/Box)

LAT 52 (15/Box)

Tatuaje Reserva 7th (25/Box)

Surrogates Tramp Stamp (20/Box)

Illusione Maduro mj12 Toro Gordo Singles X 10


Arturo Fuente - Don Carlos - #2 Singles X 2


Total:

$996.00


Would have worked in a box of Don Carlos Double Robustos in there, but they were out of stock. Would have dumped the singles and Tramp Stamp or LAT52's.....but easily could have made it work if they were in stock.

Ask me again tomorrow, the list would probably look different.
In fact, if the CG4 I had yesterday wouldn't have burned just a little wonky, I'd have probably said five boxes of CG4. That good.

However many viaje skull n bones mystery release, and some viaje holiday blend as well. Then I'd sell most of them off, pick up a few boxes of cce's, and forget about them for 5 years.

But, I seldom find myself craving an nc.
