Did anyone else order these? I got mine today and they packaged as 5 pack. They were not in the standard glass/wax tubing. Now I don't give a crap about the packaging but now I'm wondering if I got the Grand Reserve Cognac infused cigars or did JR ship me something else? Nevermind, I just...

No, I've been using distilled water. I may pull the black pieces out and keep the gel hydrated (out of the humi) to see what happens.

When I bought my last humi I got a few jars of Ci-Gel with it. I use them in the winter to supplement the viper beads I use year round. Since I hadn't refilled the jars in a while the Ci-Gel had shriveled up into little reddish/brownish blobs. I was checking the jars today and I noticed...

Got an email from JR Cigars. They just stared their 12 days of Xmas sale. Today's special is a 5 pack of the Gurkha Grand Reserve Robusto for $34.50. From what I have seen this is a pretty good price. Never had the cigar though. At this price I think I'll give it a try. Anyone else had...

Thanks for the info. I checked Cbid and they do have this sampler, but without the 10 Indian Tabac SF. Current bid is $82. I guess it depends on how much the additional Tabacs are worth to someone. I think I'll keep an eye on Cbid for a while to see if I can "steal" an order cheaply. groucho

I've been wanting to try several cigars from RP and came across in the mail today. This seems like a great deal on a RP sampler from CI, but I'll you decide! http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDis...p%2Dvkasst3%2Dt 2 - Rocky Patel Vintage 'Fusion' Toro 3 - Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Toro 3...

I agree, great stick for the price. One of my top value choices. groucho

These don't appear on the comparison shopper list so I have no idea how good/bad the pricing is. But my humidor is starting to get a little low so I'd be in for a split of some type. groucho

I don't know if this is still the case, but the last time I ordered from TNT they offered free shipping on your entire order if you bought certain 5'ers. My shipping was going to be something like $15 but I found one of their crappy off-brand 5'ers for like $5 that had the free shipping. Might...

Another Padron 2000 fan here. :thumbs: Definitely get a handful to try. groucho

Never even thought of using them for a traveldor. Excellent idea. My order is growing larger, I should have ordered while the discount was on!

Anyone ever tried the humidity sheets in their humi? Could you cut them into strips and place them inside rather than use a bowl of beads?

How can I discretely get this thread into my wife's hands....? :whistling:

I'll take a 5'er of these if you have any left. That'll make 2 5'ers in this deal and my budget for the month is officially blown! :laugh:

I'm already in for a 5'er and now I'm thinking, "I should really order a box of the Havana VI Angeles to try." Lord help me.
