Aye it's a 50 cabinet....HUGE box but I've got space (thankfully).
That?s why i?m anxious, i have read so many good reviews and when i was close to get my lips on them, they got stuck. But there?s no wining taking place, to get even with luck i went to my fav store in Lisbon and bought me some nice Partagas shorts, some Monte?s n?5 and some Jos? L. Piedras.

Reason: Forgot the cote
Somebody asked my why I send out unsolicited "gifties." This is the answer.
About a month ago, that little Wop kid, Maledetto Toscano joined the forum and he sounded so cute and pathetic that I took pity on him and sent him a small packet. He didn't have much cigar experience and he seemed so needy that I figured he'd appreciate anything I sent him. So, there was this little travel humi of 'gars that I had that somehow the dog got into and peed all over. Welp, I wuz just gonna throw the damn things out, but I figgered "Wot the hell, he's Eye-talian, wot's he know about see-gars, anyhow?" so I sends him the stogies the dog whiizzed on. No biggie.
So he gets the cigars and he's like a little kid at St. Christmasgreed, going on an on about how nice it was of me and how he appreciates it and like that and I'm almost feeling guilty that this guy is all about how generous and kind (although -- come to think of it -- he omitted any mention of how devilishly handsome) I am and how he's gonna repay my munificence.
Yeah, sure, okay, fine.
Well knock my socks off! Woudja believe that the postman delivered today my very own sampler box of the exclusive Tabacalera Condomo PRIAPUS!!
I quote from the literature on this very, very hard to obtain and ridiculously expensive stogie: "Discover the new frontiers of the tobacco leaf with our rich blend of Uzbek and Ukrainian filler..." Now I don't know how much see-gar experience most of you folks have, but amongst us aficionadi, we know that the Uzbek and Ukrainian filler are the rarest of the rare tabac leafies, hoarded like the family jewels and used only in the most rarified Tabacaleras in the world. There's more descriptive information in re regarding about these here magnifico stogies but since I am such a humble person (and did I mention devilishly handsome?), I will not proceed onward further, lest I create jealous lust amongst you more unfortunate little people who can only dream about such a prize.
But I must show and tell (that's what we do on Mondays, y'know.)
The box from Tabacalera Condomo is a work of art in itself:
as is the box seal (aplogies for messing it up, it were a tad delicato, if you know what I mean):
Then one opens one's prize and is confronted by an image of beauty incarnate:
Breathtaking, nicht wahr? Look at the detail on the band:
a freaking masterpiece!
And the pure love that goes into the making of these fine puros is evidenced by the fact that each stick is gently, lovingly, sensually carressed in its own form-fitted, padded, enclosure. Viola!
And they're mine, ALL MINE!

Okay, enough fun... back to the top of the post and why I give stuff to strangers. This is your answer. I only spent a little money on making someone else happy. Alberto invested time, talent, artistry, humo(u)r, and amazing creativity to make me ECSTATIC! In fact, I'd have to say I got the better of the exchange. He'll smoke up the 'gars I sent him (as I will his), but I get to keep the Tabacalera Condomo stuff FOREVER and enjoy it long after the cigars are ashes.
