And they snuck a little something extra in my order for free:

La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiale (I think it's the Habanero).

Looking forward to getting all of these in my tupperdor!!

Very cool, I haven't seen anyone post what they picked up from Monster yet....that place is sooo tempting.

Andrew (dpd6030) is afraid of the scary laugh when you open the page. Nice pick up.

Did you walk in? I don't ever remember getting anything for free that wasn't part of some promotion in all my years purchasing online from Famous.
:-)

The freebie must of fell in. Enjoy the smokes.
[Reply]

I have only been to Famous once and they threw a free premium fiver at me after I bought a bundle of Famous Nics.
They told me you can get better deals and free stuff in-store unlike on-line.
They are a great company so I am not surprised to see the little extra in there!:-)

It came with a leaflet introducing the new Artersanos line and what it was all about. I threw that away on accident, so I didn't get a pic. But the stick was in there, and I know I didn't pay for it. SO, it's a freebie.

Habanero?? Are they trying to compete with the Punisher?? Just kidding, I hope you meant Habano.
[Reply]

My wife is actually scared of that....she says "I don't like that" so I have to mute it or warn her its coming up lol
[Reply]

Had that new La Gloria this weekend. Decent smoke for the beginning, not so great afterwards. Definitely not worth the MSRP which I think is $7-8.
[Reply]

Nope. Habanero.

Actually, it's the Club I received...

I bought some Tabaks at a decent price off Monster too. I enjoyed 'em. I also just recently bought 3 5 packs of Graycliff reds.
[Reply]

I was eyeing those reds. Let me know how they are.
[Reply]

I like them a lot. On the mild side, but smooth and creamy. Ive had the blues too and they were too bitter. They aren't worth paying full price, but good when you can find them on sale.
[Reply]

I use the Monster occasionally, and would do so more
often(maybe), if they had better descriptions of their
samplers. Today there were several Famous 'Mild'
Samplers, several Famous 'Medium' samplers and
several Famous 'Full' samplers. wtf?

During the Mashup(11am and 11pm) it's impossible
to quickly tell one sampler from the other.

But the deals are there, if you keep you eyes open.
I once got a box(36) of Oliva V lanceros for $100, delivered.
Sweeet!

Chemyst :-)

They are fantastic smokes. I'm a Graycliff fan so I also enjoy the Blue and the Crystals, just had the limited release Platinum two nights ago and that was also great. Not sure what was up with the Professional's Brian had but they are usually not bitter smokes at all. I let all my stuff rest for a few months and it seems to really help the overall smoking experience vs r.o.t.t..
[Reply]

I'm still smoking a lot off the truck cause I haven't been smoking long enough to aquire a sufficient horde to be able to let many rest. I'm getting there though...:-)

Perhaps that's why they weren't as delicious as the reds. Although, I haven't really let the reds sit either and all of them have been great. Perhaps I got a bad batch. I will revisit the professionals in the future.

On another note, I had a CI Legends Graycliff last night, which I didn't really care for. It had a lot of grassy flavor. I was really hopeful I'd like it.
[Reply]

I find the CI Legends fairly barfy, and that's coming from a GC wh*re.
