It's a shame that HSA got rid of the SdC Nos. 1-3. Hopefully they will return in a few years in all their glory.

Hell, Lisa throws some crazy specials when Rob IS there...

Nice post PigFish. These are wonderful cigars. Light and refreshing on those warm summer days. Pair this with your favorite beverage and you have one heck of a combination.

Congratulations!

One of my favorites!

I think it is a reflection of our society; bigger must be better. If it is more expensive, then it has to be better. Much the same with instant gratification. No one is willing to wait for anything anymore; we must have it now, today or better yet... yesterday. As long as people enjoy those large cigars, then there is nothing wrong with it, IMO. It is when people feel they must have it, because Joe Plumber has it, that is where I have a problem with it. And from a business POV, how can you get mad at companies that are in the business to make money? I just wish they would spend some of the profits and keep they old thing gauge cigars in stock.

Congratulations!!!

Very nice post. Looks like you and your friends are having a very good time. Enjoy.

I had the pleasure of smoking 1/3 of one with some friends. From what I remember, it was a pleasurable cigar. Nothing out of the ordinary, except for the unusual configuration. Like many have said, more of a novelty item.

Football Baseball Wiffle Ball (used a lawn chair for the strike zone) Basketball Army with dirt balls and forts also. Flashlight tag: Someone holds a flashlight and everyone hides. Person then starts looking and if they flash the light on you, you are it. If you reach back to home base you're safe. Bamboozaling (I believe this is what we called it.) We go out in the woods and climb tall, young sapling trees. Get to a certain height, the tree would bend over and you would slowly come back to the ground. Pick the wrong tree and... SNAP!!! Days when there was a lot of snow, we would throw snowballs at cars. Really stupid thing to do, but we did it. Always wished I had played stick ball. Always saw kids in the city play this.

Ahh, the old penny a day doubled every day puzzle. Haven't seen this one in over 30+ years. I'll take the penny, thank you very much. Amazing what a little compounding will do.

Thanks, Rob.

Rob, could you expand on this? Sounds like the sales' numbers are down, but why? Too many releases? Too many boxes per release? Exactly what seems to be the problem? Are we to assume that as long as sales are increasing the Distributors don't care type of cigars are sold?
