    Best gimmick cigar you own

    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.

    I'm a sucker for a tubo. Always buy something in a tubo if available vs slightly cheaper non-tubo versions.

    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.
