Christmas Sampler 2017

[nsills]

Hope it's not too early to start talking about the Xmas Sampler offered this weekend 

What order does everyone plan to smoke them in? What qualities make your Christmas Day pick special? Will it be your first time having it or an old friend? 

HUGE thanks to @El Presidente & team for this wonderful sampler!

I missed out.....Bloody time zones!! What a selection!!!!!! Rob, is Santa coming back to FOH with a repeat sampler?

X2 on the repeat sampler, of all the days to miss the 24/24!

Dang it. I missed out as well. Great lineup!

I have spent a lot the past two weeks but I couldn't pass this sampler up. Now I'm praying for some warmer weather in December to smoke these or else it'll be in the hot tub. 

[encephalization]

Was just about to ask if it was sold out, then I decided to check in the thread and sure enough. Guess I got lucky because I saw it late. Never had the Punch 48 by the way..

Getting to the age where my excitement for Christmas isn't all that big, this might change it!

First Christmas sampler for me. Of the 12, I’ve only had 3 (Sig VI, Esplendido, RyJ Churchill). I’m most looking forward to Sir Winston, the Punch 48, and the Lancero. Like others, I was supposed to be on a spending break, but this was a no-brainer - and a bit easier to ‘splain to the wife (“for the love of God woman, it’s the Christmas sampler!”)

x 3 on a repeat, even if it means only a 10-day Xmas sampler.  Did not see it coming, did not have the coin, but would be willing to hold off on another purchase if it meant that the sampler comes up again.

Does anyone have the full list? I forgot to note it, before it disappeared.

I think Rob @El Presidente is going to have a post on Dec 1st about a contest/reviews and some other things in regards to this sampler. Looking forward to getting mine.

Super excited for the Christmas sampler, waiting for it to arrive and then rest has got me feeling like a kid again! Most excited for the cigars I haven't tried (Siglo VI, Esplendido, Sir Winston, Punch 48, JL2, VR Don Alejandro). Also excited for the cigars I've tried but don't have in stock (RyJ Churchill, Fonseca No 1, HdM Epi 1). Also excited to add another Lancero, HUPC and Monte PE to the collection. Anyway you shake it, I'm just excited!

The 2017 Christmas Sampler is a 'no-brainer' purchase, a superlative offering from our host. And to put the icing on the cake, they come with FriendsofHabanos lighters!
