Looks like I am gonna need to find some good ones while reading through the job listings. I just found out that the business I work at is shutting down.

I am lucky enough that my boss is going to keep me on for another month to help with some stuff. Still sucks though. Frown

That sucks to hear, Gespinoza. I know exactly how that feels having been laid off myself 4 years ago. Good luck in your job search.

One word...bundles. Famous Smoke Shop has some good ones.

Good luck with your search!

That seriously sucks, my Friend!

I have no doubt that you'll land on your feet, though. In the meantime, Steve has a good idea, plus some of the big sample packs at CI are pretty decent.

Keep us posted on the job search - if nothing else, we can give you a place to vent! Smile

And if you run low on smokes, let me know...

Sorry to hear about the job, but don't look at it as unmemployment rather as temporary retirement. It's easier to enjoy cigars when you are retired. (so I hear)



Go Steelers!!!

I am sorry to hear of your situation but I myself was there not long ago. I wish you the best in your job search. As far as smokes go I suggest finding a good bundle cigar and there are many out there that will do the trick.

San Antonio, Tx

I have done everything working at a quilting factory running huge computerized sewing machines, worked as an order selector for a grocery company. Right now I was working for a used car dealer I did customer service, detailing, transporting, buliding maintainence, ect.

As far as smokes go I think I just sent my last PIF and some wishlist smokes for a while. Sorry folks. Frown

I will look through some bundles. It sucks because my girlfriend was going to buy me a box of Excalibur Epicures. There is no way I am going to let her do that now. TOO many bills we have to pay. I dont even know about the bundles...I would feel bad spending the money.

Oh well see what happens.


Thanks for the support.

Gespinoza1, I know how you feel I went into work the day after Christmas only to find out that my position had been terminated. Merry Christmas I have been on the hunt ever since Mad

Im in the same boat brother. Luckily, I had just bought a batch of MAXX seconds, and am now rationing them out to myself. Frown

I have discovered that for 2.50 a stick shipped, they are about the best "cheap" cigar I have ever found.

Good luck and Good hunting!
