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.Quote:

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+.Quote:

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.
You know as far as names go my favorite of recent memory is the throne of games cigarQuote:

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.
Culebra another great gimmick i got 1 of those also hits the coffin box too.Quote:

I also have a EZ Jailbait with miniature handcuffs for a band. Thank you again @Nature .
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.
@SoCal gunner
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.Quote:
