So, Today I began falling down the already slippery slope of this hobby.

Bought another 50 count humidor and a few sampler packs from Thompson cigars.

You will be needing more room soon. I am already running out of room in my first vinotemp.

Edit: I think I may need to get this soon.

Pictures?! Where are the pictures?!

At least tell us what you got !!

Oh...you didn't get them yet?

 

[calhounhusker]

Nope not yet. Im hoping I will by mid week.

We will see.

Careful with Thompson though, they are relentless in their "stalking" or marketing as they call it. I finally told them I worked at a cigar shop, they still call about once a month. Cigars International is way better IMO.

 

[calhounhusker]

Yeah, I heard about that too. Part of the reason I went with Thompson is the 3 separate payments, and from the sites I looked at(CI included) they had the best selection of samplers.

You can get much better samplers through the Newbie Sampler Trade.

NST

I know this...


But can I use a credit card for the newbie sampler trade?..... No. Hence why I didn't..lol

Umm, yes you can... You can pay some of us with online payment (PP). I accept it anyway, not sure about the other guys.

I suppose. But either way I'm not too disappointed. 48 sticks for ~100 bucks. 2 bucks a stick, I'm alright with that. I'll keep the NST in mind at another time.

PayPal allows you to charge to your credit card.

Also, many of the FOGs in the NST ask newbies to buy stuff for them from various sites in exchange for the cigars they send out. I'm sure most, if not all, of these sites accept credit card payments.

I'm not saying you wouldn't have gotten more, but you certainly would have gotten better quality sticks for the same amount of money through the NST. It's probably the best bargain out there for the newer guys.
