    Cigars

    Thanks Bebs, no red flags so into the cart they will go along with a cutter and a basic humidor. Delivery seems decent, if I order tomorrow I will get them Wednesday so that will line up nicely for a weekend treat alongside a few drams from a bottle of Balvenie that has been taunting me since...
