Pretty good deal going on at Thompson and I was wondering if anyone ever tried them?

I got one in a sampler a while back.. meh.. I'd skip that deal unless you're just trying to fill a humi.. Monster has some great deals on Sombresa short rob and Intemperance wiskey rebellion samplers.. use the BOTL code, or EMAC10P for a 10% off w/o min purchase..

If you're smoking these catalog cigars at your B&M, then that's precisely what you are.

"Saracigar" you're a riot and I enjoy reading your posts. I can sense the magnanimity and graciousness just trying to escape through your fingers and into your words.

Not wrong about the cigars though.

Maybe I don't understand how the word "catalog" is defined in the cigar world.
Is it like the Sears catalog-good deals on things everybody needs or like in The Beatles Catalog which is all the songs published by the band. Last time I checked the Beatles thing was pretty expensive.
I guess a manufacturer would have a catalog of their offerings that buyers can use to select among their blends. Probably an important thing in the cigar world if you're trying to make a living.

They are ok. Don't pay more than $3 for them in my book. I preferred the Wrath a bit more. I do like a lot of what Oliva has to offer, but there are others that I like much more. I have enjoyed the nubs, cafe, reserves, O, G, V's. I have some of the Blends resting but haven't smoke one yet. The Melanio was really nice, but at a different price point I would pay.

Yea, that's about the way I'm thinking, now that I've learned a little about them. The price was really good and I like Oliva's more expensive blends

Oliva O at Puro are under $5 and a great smoke for the money. Every once in a while they can be had for sub $4. Snagged a box during Black Friday at Famous and love them with a cup of coffee. The hellion just looks gimmicky to me.

Ah yes, I see now. Here I foolishly thought you were a pretentious B&M owner but after seeing your other posts I see now that you are simply a troll. The B&M owner was an interesting twist on the usual troll gimmick, so I do have to award you points for that. Additional points are awarded for the douchey Ivy league avatar, it really fit into the persona and completed the package. Unfortunately, you went too far too fast and instead revealed yourself be a bridge dwelling bag of dicks. Nice try though.

Buying a catalog cigar and bringing it to smoke at your local B&M rather than making a purchase is not ok. That's taking advantage of your B&M and abusing the hospitality of someone who is there to help you, not to mention costing the B&M money so you can smoke for free. And yes, doing that would indeed make you a low-life.
Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that this has to be explained so many times.
If you think that this opinion makes me a troll and you wish to resort to childish name-calling, so be it. You can have your playground mentality, but abusing your B&M is far from ok.

Has to be explained? No one here mentioned bringing outside cigars to a B&M to smoke for free. You've set up a straw man argument here, a classic troll move.

As far as the childish name calling goes, I'm simply calling a spade a spade. Until proven otherwise, a bridge dwelling bag of dicks is an apt description that fits the online persona of your troll account.
