Did you get any cigar related holiday gifts?

RRocket · 12-26-2010, 05:50 PM

Hope everyone is having safe holidays. Did anyone receive any yummy treats??

My lovely surprised me with not one, but two boxes of sticks.

s15driftking · 12-26-2010, 06:19 PM

My aunt got me a cool cigar ornament

12-26-2010, 06:23 PM

My son bought me the Gurkha Spec Ops box kit, pretty cool. Cigars are OK, but the whole thing has its own 'cool factor.'

My mom also bought me a sampler consisting of Ruinations, G2's, Black Pearls, Prensados, and Padilla 1932's.

I got myself a new...EDITED after hotreds pointed out that my purchase didn't count...

hotreds · 12-26-2010, 06:32 PM

no

Kreth · 12-26-2010, 06:44 PM

My in-laws got me The World Encyclopedia of Cigars by Holland/Millington. I've just skimmed it so far, pretty cool...

^^Oooo...that's a nice gift!

G G · 12-26-2010, 07:10 PM

nope

alley00p · 12-26-2010, 07:15 PM

Unfortunately, none of my family likes to shop for cigars for me.

On the other hand, I did get a half pound of pipe tobacco, and a Tim Horton's gift card for some great coffee!

688sonarmen · 12-26-2010, 07:34 PM

I got a stinky

Eleven · 12-26-2010, 07:38 PM

I got a novelty 'Golf Bag Humidor'. It's tiny, meant to hang from a golf bag, and it looks like a little golf bag.

Here is the stock photo of it. Neato idea from the Mother-In-Law, but I doubt I use it for anything other than conversation:

MurphysLaw · 12-26-2010, 08:21 PM

My wife bought me a sampler box of H.Uppman, RyJ, and Montecristo cigars, and a buddy bought me a Padron #45 maduro, an Anejo #50 maduro, and an Opus X perfexion X

thebayratt · 12-26-2010, 08:38 PM

A good BOTL friend of mine got me
T52 Flying Pig
Viaje 2009 Holiday Blend
601 Red Toro
Torano Noventa 90
Avo Heritage Short Robusto
Camacho Diploma

I gave him a Viaje 2010 Holiday Blend (Torpedo and DaisyCutter(?) ) and changed the starter out on his wife's car. I wasn't expecting anything from him, I knew he couldn't get ahold of any 2010 Viaje HB, so I got an extra for him. He said the work on his wife's car was worth more than what he got me, but I didn't care; nor did I expect to get a gift from him in the first place.

Prospector · 12-26-2010, 08:43 PM

from my wife:
1 box Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne Torpedos
1 5-stick Kinky Friedman sampler (some new vitolas for this year)
1 Kinky Friedman Cigars tee shirt
5 tins Padron Corticos

DennisP · 12-26-2010, 08:47 PM

I got one of the newer stinky's in black and a cigar caddy hat holds 2, perfect for when I travel on business (no need for my 10).

My wife and kids got me me a new carbon fiber 5 ct. travel case (Andre Garcia), two bottles of scotch (Balvanie 15 yr. Single Barrell, and a 18 yr. Yamazaki), and a Xikar Carbon Fiber cutter. I'm pretty sure they're keepers.

VirtualSmitty · 12-26-2010, 09:00 PM

My parents gave me an Ashton VSG sampler

smokin5 · 12-26-2010, 09:11 PM

Indirectly.....
My dear mate, the Queen B!tch, bought me
the Autobiography of Mark Twain Vol.1.

Good reading about a great cigar smoker.

Bubba - NJ · 12-26-2010, 09:33 PM

My father gave me a 3 Oliva Serie G torpedo maduros and 2 Ashton aged maddies . My mother was not very happy about it , then she saw my cigar cabinet and really let her feeling be known .

It was pretty funny to my father and myself .

Nothing gifted from others, but I'll be gifting myself some sticks to be chosen at a later date.
