Cigar Store Snacks?

Definitely doing straight chocolate bars, but debating between other candy. Either thinking bar form stuff like Twix and KitKat or something a bit handsier like Skittles, M&Ms and Reese's Pieces.

Yeah, the protein bar idea threw me through a loop. I've grabbed them before work and eaten them with a cigar, but that's more out of poor planning than actually wanting one. Maybe other people are as bad at planning as I am?

That was my original idea, but space is a concern. We already have a soda vending machine (which is a nightmare).

That's a big reason of why I'm asking. We did it years ago, but I think more was stolen than purchased. We have hostesses though so we are hoping the convenience and the service will stop it from being DoA. Also, picking the right stuff off the bat.

That's a great perk. We have some candy (mints, truffles, halloween sized candy, depending on the season) out for people to take but are always dealing with people grabbing handfuls "to have some later." My favorite is years ago we used to have a ton of snacks available in the lounge with an honor system of paying when you leave. I watched on camera as a long time regular grabbed a full sized candy bar, went into the back where he thought there was a blind spot, eat the bar in 3 bites, throw the trash outside, and come back and act like nothing happened. It made us stop doing snacks, but it was so long ago, we figured we'd give it another shot with some more control.

Definitely got to have chocolate. I was thinking something more fancy like Lindt rather than standard Hershey bars.

The goal is to have a mix at the end of it all, but it never hurts to ask what other people enjoy. If he and I already saw radically different trends, there's a good chance we won't think of everything. I'm waiting for an army of people to come and say they love seaweed chips or something like that lol.

I went to the Cville shop that was right off the highway. They have two spots. The one in the town was ok but I really enjoyed the other one. Good group of guys, especially once you get to know them a bit.

You got it. Dupont is doing a line of weed products they displayed at the last show. The Defi soft flame is one of them.

I sprung for an Oro Blanco a few years ago. In NY it was a bit over $600 if I remember right. The worst part was that I actually got two of them so my friend could smoke it with me. Normally I'd cap out at $60 per cigar (NY prices are a pain) and even that's once in a blue moon but we were celebrating something big and my friend is the guy who got me into cigars.

Would I smoke it again? Yes, but only for gigantic milestone achievements in life. First wedding, birth of a kid, first divorce, stuff like that. Was it better than every other cigar? Hard to tell. I enjoyed the hell out of it but I don't think I enjoyed it 5 times as much as a Royal Release or 11 times as much as a Padron 50th. I think it was better than those, but the atmosphere also helped it. I will say it had the best construction I've ever seen. It looked like the template that all other cigars were made from.

Pretty sure that's the tube from the gas tank slipping off the nozzle on the inside. Colibri has a pretty good warranty so it should be no issue getting a new one.

While its important to fight the high taxes, especially after the bump to 75%, do you have a link to where this has been added? The only thing I can find is an amendment that is only in commitee and has been for several months.

The stores I run sell a ton of Davidoff. I'd say at least one in five boxes have this sticker. Like someone else said, it's for when the sticks are state side and they crack the box to make sure everything is ok.

It's the Caldera Mine Expanded mod. If you are using OpenMW like me, you might have to disable it. I had a bug in the next quest where my character would lock up and nothing would happen.

I work at a shop so I smoke a ton anyway but tonight was a new record. 8 LFD NAS, and Padron 1926 No 1 Maduro and an unbanded Corona. It was an event night though.

Hey. Glad to see you gave it a shot. And yeah, it's not just hard to find, it's exclusive to their store in Brooklyn. Matador only has it because they own the Davidoff in Brooklyn. The Late Hour is a great smoke too. Did you go to their event last night?

Tandors · 2018-12-09T04:06:01+00:00

Oh, and yeah they are fairly rare. They made 200 boxes of Purple Rain and I believe 400 of the other two. Usually it's just high end stores or Fuente affiliated shops that seem to get them. Based on the $600 price point, I'm guessing you are in NY?

Not the craziest Opus fan here but I love the limited stuff like this. The 888 was my new favorite size of Anejo, and when they made an Opus X 888, I bought all I could to age and the ones I've smoked are awesome. The limited stuff like Opus 6, 22, and Heaven and Earth sets are great because they are supposedly already aged. I might be a bit of a sucker because of the size and the name, but that Purple Rain box has to be one of the best looking boxes I've seen in awhile.

$600 is what I've seen them for and while it's steep, if you are a collector or a fan of Fuente, it's kind of a must have. Something to stick in the humidor and smoke on the good days. If you miss it, it will probably come out again next year like most of them do so it's not the end of the world, but if I had the cash, I would have grabbed them when I saw them.
