Puros Y Vino

Favorite activity while smoking a cigar? Inactivity. The cigar is the activity. Summer does allow for nicer settings in which to enjoy one.

That kinda looks like a Bolivar band. I noticed the box was practically empty when the guy on the left reaches in. Warranty seal isn't right either. The logo on top of the box has the Bolivar leaf shaped logo but not quite. Maybe an old Hoyo box? Or something altogether different?

Reminds me of my parents first dinner in Canada. When my family emigrated from Italy to Canada, their first stop was Montreal. After settling into their hotel, they went to find some dinner and ended up at a restaurant. Montreal, was probably more French-centric back then (late 1960's) so they had some trouble communicating. End result? My parents ended up with sheep's brain for dinner. They've eaten some gross things by my standard, tripe and boiled pigs feet come to mind. But they were beside themselves when that dish arrived. They grinned and beared it. Having a very limited budget as new immigrants and the language barrier, they didn't see any way out but to eat it. My father recounted that it took at least two bottles of wine to wash the taste out. 😁 For years my father reminded my mother over her ordering "faux pas" in good fun at gatherings.

In short. Please remove tariffs that affect us so we can continue to exploit low wage workers in 2nd/3rd world countries and keep our high margins? Yes it's the "patriotic Americans who have been oppressed for too long, who work in the premium cigar industry" that have been suffering in the cigar industy. 🙄 Lots of hyperbole and jingoism in this little piece.

I enjoy these. The ones at Al Ajibe are great. A friend refers to them as a plate of "smashed assholes". We couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes.

As I kid. I LOVED THIS COMBO. Can't stand the sight or smell of it now.

Kinda with you on Polenta. In it's base form, its just with a nice beefy ragu. It's best made into "fries". Basically, rectangular, firmer pieces, deep fried and paired with sauces as an appetizer.

I think a "status window" is being looked into so that visitors to the site can see # and name of users. IMO that's the best way to drive usage.

Was going to post this today too. I have Discord open for other groups all the time and when I click on the FOH one at random times, it seems empty. I wonder if members from Europe, Asia and other parts are using it at "regular hours" for each respective time zone and I'm not seeing it.

Tough call. Love both but I'll go with Fundy.

A day at a farmers market today. My aunt and uncle invited us for Easter tomorrow. Going to gorge myself on Italian goodies. Gym on Monday.

2017 QdO No 50

If this person is in the US..uh..no..you're screwed. "Hello Police? My Cuban cigars were stolen". I'm inclined to say perhaps the thief is known to you some way and is into the hobby too? Given that your booze and liquor were targeted, it seems the culprits knew what to focus on for best return and where it was and what time would be best to strike. A nieces birthday? That's a day thing, not a night thing. OTOH. Someone who used to be a member here had his place broken into and 3/4 of his humidor was emptied. The culprit was a homeless junkie who knew nothing about cigars. You'll never get the exact cigars back of course, or their dollar value. But if you're outside the US. An LCDH will work with your insurer to replace any stock that is still being made. That's what happened in the case I alluded to. Best of luck to you.
