In the time I have written this blog under various pseudonyms I do not believe I have ever had a stretch of writer's block like the one I am enduring. Perhaps disinterest is a more appropriate term. I do not feel like ranting on the politics of the day. I am almost to the point where I do not care. There is nothing of interest to anyone outside of my household in my personal life. I can't think of any noteworthy travel adventures to spice up the old blogeroo. The weather is typical springtime fare. I am breathing. I have the same worries and concerns as you: bills, health, happiness. I am blessed in many ways, but it seems the only topic I can muster to blog about is an inability to find a topic to blog about.
The Cubs won. There is that.
We'll take what we can get, whenever.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear about the cheap cigars. I smoke plenty of cheap cigars that are very pleasant for a daily smoke. Unfortunately, my source (CI) has become unreliable and I've had no luck finding an alternative.
ReplyDeleteI occasionally smoke the better (read higher-priced) cigars but, can't afford them for more than maybe a weekly splurge.
:)
I got some Alec Bradley White Gold as a CI deal of the day. They are ok for an every day smoke. On the mild side. I think they are made from scraps but not bad
ReplyDeleteI like good smokes but I can't afford to smoke them every day
I have an issue that when I spend a lot for a cigar I don't want to smoke them. I have had decent cigars in my humidor for eight and ten years because I don't want to smoke them.
If you're unhappy with CI, try these guys.

I usually order a bundle of cheapies and then 5 singles (the cheapest of every 5 selected is free) and just smoke the singles once a week.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for last 2 of the 5 singles I ordered Feb.10th from CI. Not sure if I want to order from them again but, nothing comparable in price for every-day smokes from Famous Smoke, Jon. Or anywhere else that I've found yet. Still looking. I really like the C'est la Vie for a daily from CI and can't find them anywhere else.
We are truly slaves of our vices.
I sometimes buy from Mike's. Occasionally, but not for a long time Thompson's, If you want full boxes JR has good deals. When I went to the Carolinas every month I used to stop into the massive JR cigar store. That place was for me just like Tiffany's was to Holly Golightly.
ReplyDeleteI have also found some good deals from cigar.com.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how much the price of cigars has risen.
I believe cigars.com is under the umbrella of CI so, don't know if they suffered from same software upgrade. I ordered from Thompson once. The cigars were so dry couldn't revive them in a humidor. Never tried Mikes or JR. Maybe give them a look.
ReplyDeleteI believe we can thank the FDA for price increases.
