I've seen a dish called "Double Happiness" on the menu at a Chinese restaurant. This is an absolutely stupid gimmick, but hey, this is CI we're talking about here.

You can get a Double Happiness at certain massage parlors, or so I hear...

There's a "double happiness" on the menu at "Heaven is A Spa" massage parlor in hackensack. Only $49.00 before 5pm.

Between this "double happiness" and those infamous Fighting . . . uh, Roosters . . . I don't much like the turn this thread is taking.

TEN inches x 48 RG and just think! You could smoke all of it, or just half!!!

I saw that and merely shook my head...

Greatest idea ever, I hope Habanos SA is seeing this. Pure brilliance. If they weren't backordered I would be all over this like flies on poop.

The Poet · 02-18-2010, 04:18 PM

I must admit, I kind of like the artwork. How much would they charge me for a box, iffn they kept the stinkin' smokes?

TheRiddick · 02-18-2010, 04:29 PM

For those keeping track, this set contains 2 new Gurkhas that are not on the list of AJ Fernandez factory. Make it 3 if you include Double Happiness.

The idea of smoking two gurkhas at once sounds divine.

tedrodgerscpa · 02-18-2010, 04:42 PM

I want!

Seriously.

That double happiness padilla achilles has me deathly curious. Add me on to the list of the box split.

Blend-schmend... you can light EITHER SIDE... blend-schmend....

Now, to get some XL five finger bags...

I saw this same idea in a Bestcigarprices catalog (i think it was them) a few months after Schip came in effect and way before CI came up with this one. I think they were called Schipbusters. Its supposed to save us all on the taxes. They are taxed as one cigar but can be smoked as two, if needed.

I say punch a hole in the middle and smoke both ends at the same time.

neoflex · 02-18-2010, 05:00 PM

I still can't believe it's back ordered. I'm hoping it's because there was only one box in existence and they accidentally ran it over with the fork-lift in the warehouse.

Been there, done that.

Footbag · 02-18-2010, 07:21 PM

I agree that if Habanos did this I'd be all over it. I could see one stick for each brand, varnished box.
I'm a little skeptical when it comes from CI. And I like CI.
I'm guessing all of those smokes are being rolled in the same factory?

Believe it or not this was first concepted by Gene Argenese. While I'm not a big argenese guy, the idea is a good one.

You are getting 20 cigars. However, the way it's bundled is as 10 cigars. These reason this is done is because SCHIP taxes you PER cigar. At 40 cents per cigar, this saves you $4.00 per box.
