2 in one night... must be someones lucky day

Imagine that.  I take two days off then follow it up with a two post night... I know what you're thinking and yes I am pretty damn amazing.  To be upfront and honest the first post was written earlier and just recently posted.  This update however is fresh out of the humidor.

As much as I like to support local and I do quite often, the truth of the matter is in order to try as many premium and quality cigars as I'd like I often have to leave the comfort of the cigar shops around town and venture forth via the internet in search of the biggest and greatest deals.  For the most part I've been lucky and manage to get good quality cigars that have been maintained, stored, and shipped correctly (it pays to research your retailer).  Over the weekend however I ran across an online retailer selling a Gurkha Super Premium Humidor Sampler which included 16 Gurkha Cigars and a "Gurkha Humidor" for a very low price of $69.  Not one to pass up a bargain I immediately secured my order and patiently waited like a kid on Christmas eve for my order to arrive. 4 magical days later I came home to as promised 16 very nice Gurkha cigars but a generic humidor ... that's right my Gurkha humidor had mysteriously transformed to a basic humidor fully emblazoned with the online retailers logo on the lid.  Not only had they run a bait and switch, they expected me to advertise for them as well.  Don't get me wrong the cigars I got for the money I paid was a very good value and the humidor was just a bonus, but don't advertise one thing and send me another.  Needless to say I made a phone call and did manage to get them to refund me $10.  A small win I suppose but I really wanted that humidor, Oh well I suppose that's what eBay's for.

Until tomorrow... goodnight
