Quoted: I think we're to the "if you have to ask" point. Quoted: Quoted: This is a few blocks from my house. I will come by. I am not a cigar smoker but I might buy a box. What is the price of a box? I think we're to the "if you have to ask" point. |

I am not sure if the price is set. I need to check with Sharon, who I assume has a ballpark, if not a set price. As I mentioned before, these are not basic cigars. They are a custom blend for us and a higher end product. My guess is they will not be single digits, but I don't set the price and am not exactly sure where they will land. I also think the first batch is a little pricier than the next one will be. There's more work in setting things up, finding the right blend, and getting all the parts together from cigar to presentation. Hopefully Sharon can fill in the blanks when she wanders in here again. |

Quoted: Do I understand you are selling these by the box? While I'd love to buy a box, I'd love even more to have the ability to buy any. Consider breaking up the boxes into single sticks and selling them in groups of 2's and 5's so that more people can try them. We are definitely considering doing so. The goal for the first round of cigars was to sell them in their full boxes of 10. But we do want as many you to try the cigars as possible. So we we'll see what inventory we have left from the launch party and proceed from there. |

Quoted: So arfcom can figure out how to make cigars, but it's been like 10 years since basic merch was available on the site's web store? Lol  Merch |

As much as this kinda sucks for those of you who don't live in DFW (or are at least willing to drive here), we really will consider this a success if we sell out of our initial run at the launch event. One bonus, though - if that happens, it'll make it a lot easier to justify doing another (larger) run.

Long story made short. We sent it all to Brownells (our sister company) to setup an "ARFCOM" mini store. It never really worked out as people wanted it available here. So we have been bringing things back slowly over the past couple of months. We will be adding new TShirts (limited run of shot show designs) as well as some older items (patches, stickers, old shirts, etc) in the next few weeks. This is an ongoing project. |

Man you guys make things so hard. I would be so in on a box. Edit Quoted: Not to derail the conversation, but... Long story made short.

I really, really want a couple of these. I don't need a whole box... I'd really just like 3 or 4 of each, the 223 and 300. I dunno what they cost per, but it can't be more than a standard premium stick. If anyone will sell me a couple of each, for me my dad and brother as Christmas gifts, please pm me. I'll do my best to make it worth your while |

Inventory is on the to-do list. We'll likely also have all the items available at Gunstock in September.

 When I first started out shooting I'd take my Nylon 66 and shoot 100 rounds of Remington Gold Dot per session. This was a few years before I went  My last two rounds went into the two spring-activated clothespins that held the target to the holder. I rarely, if ever, missed the last two shots.  If Arfcom is getting into selling stogies I know what to do with the leftover stub(s)

Quoted: I have a few of those. And some zippos. This is the stuff that has value to members. T-shirts and hats are fine, but those are consumables. In a year, no one fucking cares. My Arfcom hat is sweated out, nasty and not for wearing in public. But a zippo, precious coin or challenge coin is something we cherish. I carry my TX challenge coin everywhere. It's set off metal detectors all over the place. I've given away 10 of them. I would have given away more but the family stopped selling them. Yes, I know Ed handled that. It's time to let someone else handle the cool stuff that makes it exclusive. I'm not bashing. I'm just saying an opportunity is being missed. Ball is in Arfcom's court. |
