I order bulk samplers from Cigars International. $79 for 25 cigars is a damn good price. Obviously I could have ordered quite a bunch of tins for the same price, but I like some variety and can appreciate a cigar.
You hit the nail on the head, mso489.Pipes have an art and poetry to them, a level of control of what you're smoking, a sense of breaking in and developing the pipes, that
make cigars a sort of pale consumer exhibitionism by comparison.
