Speaking of Genesis The Project, here's an unconventional "deal" you might want to play around with. Right now, Cbid has the 6-stick samplers that come with the ashtray thing (see
http://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/1509240/Genesis-The-Project-Wooden-Ashtray-Sampler-6-Cigars/). $29.66 is the "magic number," as far as I can tell. (I watched it for longer than I care to admit... Oh, and this item is on the CI site for $40, so if you want it, don't buy it there!) Now, granted, that's about $5 per stick (not as good as the box offer previously noted), BUT... if you don't care about the ashtray, you may be able to sell it on eBay. I picked up one of these back in January on Cbid for about $30. I sold the ashtray on eBay for $31. I subsequently checked, and the person I sold it to turned around and resold it in March for $32.50 (see
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170999712849?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649). Bottom line-- there seems to be aftermarket interest in these ashtrays all by themselves and so there's a pretty reasonable chance for you to flip the ashtray so that the cigars are basically free. I picked up a couple more tonight and will give it another shot, because it's FUN! (For me, anyway...)
