Best gimmick cigar you own

[josh lucky 13]

You know there have been many gimmicks used to sell cigars. Fancy bands, multiple band, pretty ribbons around the foot, Tubos, coffins, weird shapes, barber poles, camo wrappers. I was thinking I am a bit of a sucker for a couple of these.

I like the barber poles tubos and coffins. I have several of each.

What gimmicks do you seem to gravitate towards. I think Tony has an obsession with firecrackers

Guess this stick is a gimmick, with the Flag and is obviously very military themed. Would buy them in heartbeat again because the gimmick is outweighed by it's quality. Not gonna wow you, but I'd think these were very budget friendly sticks, and I'm getting some great tasting tobacco here with a nice value and a very cool patriotic band to go with.

Have a massive collection of all different size empty tubes I keep in my accessories drawer for future use on non-tubos. Just such a safe, convenient method to carry a cigar.

Also a sucker for anything cedar wrapped.

I did enjoy the 99.999999999999% discount to $1 since Gurkhas usually have a price tag of $50+.

Always been a sucker for the Halloween & Monster Stuff! Even bought candybar themed ones this year.

Heck, any holiday themed cigar is going to get a shot (caution - CAO's Halloween one is Pumpkin Spice flavored).

The cigar I'm smoking right now (Green Army Men) actually came with a plastic army man - lol.

If you can handle the size the Egg in the natural line is good. To me a Culebra is the ultimate gimmick cigar. You get two buddies and even if the cigar is bad its a great memory. The Diesel Sideshow box is all gimicks but smoke great. I am always a sucker for gimicky bands. One I am looking forward to is the Assylum 90. Word on the street is they are shipping now and I can't wait to get that 9x90 in my mouth.

[Old Smokey]

I have 2 of the 3 Partagas Culebra in the wood coffin. I think they are at least 15 years old. The one was missing when I got them.

I also have a EZ Jailbait with miniature handcuffs for a band. Thank you again Nature.

[jrfoxx]

Love the Culebras.

Crappy as hell looking but smoke and taste great.

Have 9 on my list for an order in the somewhat near future

I have a Culebra gifted to me; awaiting the right situation and people to share with.
A few Ezra Zion cigars with trinkets attached to the ribbon band; handcuffs, skeleton, cleaver, etc. Ezra Zion is the ultimate in Ribbon Cigars.

I still have a few boxes of the two baseball bat shaped cigars put out by LFD.

I can say however, with the exception of the LFD College World Series cigars, I did not purchase because of the “gimmick”, with exception however, are the Monster Series. These are probably the most successful gimmick cigar line of all.

I got some of those lfd thanks to you but I got mine because I was hoping Texas Tech would make the series.

Monsters are very successful i have some from every year since Wolfman. Plus I think an unopened mini monsters and a box of pudgy too.

Making santas work easy for them.

Making santas work easy for them.

I ordered one. I was thinking about a box but $40 a cigar is a bit steep to pick up multiple without having smoked it.

My most recent Gimmick acquisitions on impulse.
