Cigar TAD 2024!
- Thread starter PipeIT
- Start date
On Saturday I found a few Partagas Ramon y Ramon churchills at the local Wild Bills. On the way out, the Punch Fu Manchu caught my eye too.
Got to hit up both the Duluth and Ashland stores this weekend!
Super Smoke Shop Ashland on US 2 next to WalMart has a walk-in humidor straight back in from the door.
West Duluth Smoke Shop is on Grand Avenue, a block in from the ramp to US 2. The walk-in is to the left from the door.
They both have knockoff pipes and a small selection of Dr. Grabow (odd combination, I know) as well as pouches of Captain Black, Prince Albert, and SuperValue. Duluth's are in the humidor, Ashland's are in the glass cabinets nearest the door.

Thanks! I saw a few articles about SSS in Ashland, but couldn't find much about what they stock. A classmate of mine is in Ashland, and I promised/warned that I'd visit him sometime: I may have to do that next month.
The other day I opened up my cigarillodor and noticed that I only had 7 Undercrown Shade coronets. That was unacceptable, so I started preparing for winter by buying another tin today.
And a Hemingway Best Seller, after watching Margeaux Hemingway in the classic “Killer Fish” yesterday.

Curiosity and a combo sale/store credit got the best of me. Can't wait to see what I've been missing.

What I really like about Smoke Inn's COTM is that I get cigars I'd never otherwise have bought (or heard of).
On the other hand, I can't even keep up. I may need to pause this one for a few months, both to have a chance to smoke more of them, and also to divert the dollars to building up my pipe tobacco stash.
Ok, just received today, my first ever order for budget sticks. 
I figured why not, look for really inexpensive, hopefully decent smokes. So if possible, I’m on a quest for the best inexpensive budget sticks, as inexpensive as possible…
And given these are quite inexpensive I will certainly do my best to give some input in the Ciagr WAYS when having these and any other inexpensive/budget sticks.
The Charter was $6.40, maybe this is at the upper range of budget stick… The rest were in the upper $3 - $4 range...
Let me say, just looking at these, the construction on all of them looks really nice. I’m quite impressed, just hope they smoke as well as they look. And a budget cigar in a glass tube, also impressive…
So, from left to right…
Plasencia - Reserva Original Nestico
Foundation - Charter Oak Connecticut Shade Rothschild
OlIva - Flor de Oliva Sun Grown Robusto
My Father - Tabasco’s Baez Robusto
El Rey Del Mundo - Natural Robustos En Vidrio
Fuente - Curly Head Deluxe Maduro
Fuente - Curly Head Deluxe Natural
Be well everyone!

Every
Every Black Works cigar I’ve had has been utterly intoxicating. Good stuff
Oh darn, I guess Intoxicating doesn’t fall under the Budget Stick Category. LOL
I guess we‘ll have to make my first ever Intoxicating TAD Order next!
I guess this is their website?

I got all of mine through a cigar of the month club, so I’m not sure what they cost, but they most certainly are not a budget cigar. If you find some for budget prices, snatch them up!Oh darn, I guess Intoxicating doesn’t fall under the Budget Stick Category. LOL

I see there is the ’Black Works Studio Rorschach Short Robusto‘ and
Rorschach Sumatra Short Robusto, which goes for $7, and the Petit Panatela for $6.
From what I see, I believe these are their least inexpensive?
That ain’t bad! I figured their stuff would cost way more. I’ll have to look at their site and see if I can figure out which ones I had that were so damn good.I see there is the ’Black Works Studio Rorschach Short Robusto‘ and

Edit: I just looked and I for sure had (and adored) the Hornet, looks like that’s a roughly $10 ish stick.
