2016 releases

If regulations continue to be placed, and internet sales are outlawed... would y'all continue to buy from B&Ms? Quit buying cigars? How much of a price increase would you be able to handle?

Also, would winedors and cooledors become obsolete as people would likely stockpile less without ability to buy such large auction etc lots?

The flood gates have been opened. So grab your favorite cutter & a trusty lighter while preparing to ride the tsunami of new releases! I for one can't wait!

Dammit. Now you have me seriously considering one... it WOULD free up a cooler that is much-needed for beer this summer.

That would be pretty awesome. That just got me thinking. Let's assume that each sample of a new line is a 6x50 toro, that's about 3.27 cubic inches of cigar. I've seen a lot of estimates of 1,000+ new cigars this year. So that would be about 3,270 cubic inches of cigars. Each gallon is 231 cubic inches, so you are talking about at least 14 gallons of cigar or a bit more than 1/4 of that drum full of individual single samples. Holy shit, that's a lot!

Not to hijack this thread into a subject of storage but my 5 gallon buck-a-dor that I put into service around 2 years ago is still on its original Boveda pack... and it was essentially free since it was just an empty ice-melt bucket after we'd used up the contents.
