Hello ALL!
Cigars.... yup many like to smoke a stogie or two.... especially when it's free! I bet two cigars free for the price of shipping is a good deal! But, want to hear something stupid??? I smoked ciggerettes for ten years (not even long enough to KNOW how to spell the word) and during that time I smoked a pipe (LOVED IT) and cigars off and on. I quit smoking long before I met my LOVELY wife Lynn and ever never looked back. BUT, when I spend my TWO WEEKS in the woods once a year with the guys and girls of my military family AND half or more of them or smoking, I would get a hankering for a cigar. My favorite was Swisher Sweet! I would only smoke one a day or so SOoooo there was no sense mentionning it to my LOVELY wife Lynn!!!!! While I was in Camp Shelby the THREE months trainning for this fun filled adventure ("It's not a JOB, it's an ADVENTURE") I fell in love with a brand called PHILLEYS. They are flavored cigars that were truly pleasant to have in your mouth. The thing I like about them BEST was EVERYTIME when I lit them up, someone would say; "That smells really good!" WITHOUT FAIL!. So, not only was I ENJOYING a great cigar.... but everyone around was enjoying the smell of it! The other neat thing about it was, a pack of five only cost three dollars! Now, that is a lot by a pack of twenty cigerette standards, but when some cigars cost as much as 30.00 dollars (?) it is not bad. And STL is talking about paying six dollars (shipping) for TWO cigars. Hey STL (My other Lynn) take half that shipping and buy me a pack of Phlleys and use the other half for shipping of five instead of two 
!
Seriously, why spend so much on high costing high quality for something that is ooing to be "SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES"? Only the MOST serious of smokers will truly enjoy the high end cigar any way. Go buy a dozen boxes of Swishers and cover more people. Get a dozen boxes of Philleys and make everyone happy with the smell.
The previous view is that of the soldier and not neccesarily held by that of this site. He is truly a nut case to be reckoned with... so if you don't like what he is saying... I RECON you don't have to read anymore. lol
LOVE ALL OF YOU!! Hope this helps see a less expensive side of giving. Remember... it is not HOW much you gave...... It is not the cost of what you gave.... YOU ARE LOVED "BECAUSE" YOU GAVE!!!
OH, and by the way. I ordered from Thompson's Cigars online. I was not happy with what I got because like I said I like the inexpensive SWEET ones. BUT, my wife saw the bill on my account and Said; "I HOPE you haven't taken up smoking!" I told her I just chew on them. and she told me it was out of "Character" for me. Hey... she said I got Character! I told her I definetly wouldn't bring them home with me and she said OK. She is soooo in love with me.... and I with HER!!!
