That’s a bad pun: a type of cigar is a “blunt.”
Much to the chagrin of family, I took up smoking cigars a couple years ago. I usually smoke one on Saturday and one on Sunday – weather permitting. Deciding which cigar I would smoke was pretty easy: nothing more than $2 each. Shopping at a cigar store is like shopping at Tiffany for diamonds. A diamond is a diamond, but Tiffany is able to charge more because of the name and the wrapper.
Here in Smallburg, there is only one cigar store. I knew if I walked in there, I wouldn’t find a $2 cigar. The only retail store that sells $2 cigars is Walgreen’s.
Google to the rescue. CigarsInternational.com got my biz because they had a super-duper new customer special. Buy a box of 20 cigars and get a free humidor, all for $39.95 + shipping.
That will work.
Normally I just toss the catalogs they send me weekly, today I am in the market, so while watching them play golf at Pebble Beach, I would check out their offerings over the 76 pages.
Classic.
On page 59 are the $19.99 closeouts. For 20 or 25 cigars!
Check out the descriptions for a variety of cigars…
…for just a few sheckels, here are some…handmades in here that you, me, Jonesy, Dean-o, Murf and the boys can enjoy when we’re tearing up the muni course on a Saturday morning.
- Dominican handmade smokable… if only barely
- a straightforward, mild smoke that won’t make you vomit
- 80 cent price can only be justified if you are knee deep in the sauce and not thinking straight
- Run my friend, run far and fast, no matter how the price might tempt you
- A Don Nobody you should not consider buying
- This thing was DOA from day one
I don’t think I have ever read more brutal product descriptions from a seller. But when they are so brutally honest on this one page, it lends credibility to the other 75 pages and hundreds of cigar descriptions.
I decided on the chocolate maduros.
OOOOHHH how I miss cigars. I smoked them for almost 30 years after being turned onto them by my grandfather who used to do business in Cuba and cuz I live in Canada, I could always get Cubans. About 12 years ago when cigar smoking became “in”, the price of a Cohiba Esplindido tripled overnight.
About the same time my doc said no more smoke, even uninhaled so regrettably I figured this was a sign and I haven’t touched one since but Jeez I miss them. Sometimes I pull out the humidor just to smell it (hmmm that sounds a little gross doesn’t it?)
@thesavvyboomer: It would be fun to try a genuine “Cuban” once. But I think they would be so strong, I would pass out.
Good that you quit. Yeah, humidor sniffing does sound kinda creepy.
Just to be clear for others: smoking cigars is worse than smoking cigarettes.

Once Ben and his guy friends and I went to a winery where the comely female wine-bar sever smoked cigars. And we told him “Well, if she’ll suck on big brown things, she’ll certainly suck on little white things!” It gave him heart, you know.

Something is definetly wrong with your brain! Cigar smoking is worse than cigarette smoking but you do it? Guess I’ll be buying front porch furniture so I can be outside and not in the stench of cigar smoke.
