I am!!

Loads of 94s. Only a few ever above 95 for me. Those memorable smokes that make me groan with every every puff. Last one, probably this passed summer. Was a 3 year old Lusitania that just fired on all cylinders for 2 straight hours.

Ex4 are in my rotation. Love them. Maybe not as frequent as a RASS. I’m a little torn on whether the Short Churchill is better or worse. The blend in the SC seems to be amped up a bit but just doesn’t seem to be as balanced. I need to try the SCs with more time on them I think to make a better judgement. The Ex4s to me are a bit more refined, a bit more classic. I love the RJC, I think they are underrated by those who lived through the horror that was in the late 2000s through most of the 2010s. The Ex 4 is a close blend to the RJC, and to me that’s a good thing.

Javi my best to you and your family. Now we are all part of your family and family takes care of their own!

Yep, I did and had no problem

Robs face shaking his head as he’s listening to this barber story 😂😂😂

No derby talk and I’m in

This is where my mothers parents are from. Small world, I’ve yet to visit but will do someday.

Those are handsome looking. I love that color shade on a Monte. Another 54 in the books for Cuba. Can’t beat them join them I guess.

This is an interesting point. @Elpresidente have you had any issues raised from buyers on any recent Cohiba/BHK stock? I imagine this is near impossible to police having never seen the boxes in person yourselves.

Should be our national anthem now

I really don’t know why, but I find myself continuing to buy Epi 1 and 2 and not these.

I was just on the wharf a couple weeks ago. Had some amazing fish and abolone. That paella looks awesome

Wow is right. I’d even take this over the Amazon. This looks incredible.

Bucket list fishing

Pretty sure Biden and his friends have already written off potential votes from DeSantis supporters a long time ago. Someone’s hurt and needs help and we have the means to help than there’s no discussion to be had. I’m not a Biden fan, but if he helped I’d be proud, and if any of my friends bitched I’d crush them for their hypocrisy of the Left “making everything political”. There’s nothing political here, go help. We will likely spend $50-75B rebuilding, FL and SC, honestly what Cuba needs is probably a rounding error at this point, give it to them.

Marco is not fine. It didn’t get the eye wall like Fort Myers but it got the surge for longer as it was the east side of the system the entire time. That island was basically a swamp already, there’s no where for the water to go. My buddy lost his house on Marco, and we aren’t talking about a small shack. Fortunately for him he had multiple houses to choose from to flee to.

This one’s a pass for me. Not an SP fan, even the Beli is just not my cup of tea, there’s plenty I’d rather have. I very much remember the days when these were always on every retailers discount list.

100% agree with @BrightonCorgi, SP are just never something I chase or even think about asking Di a box for on the rare occasions they showed up. SPs remind me of the MDO4, no one fussed over them until they finally disappeared. The Beli is a good cigar, but it’s just that, a good cigar, of which there’s plenty of options for a “good” cigar. I can’t claim to be an NP expert, I’ve only had a handful, usually thrown in with a bundle of cigars I wanted. I honestly never gave them a second thought.

I’ve been watching most of the day. Lots of friends in Fort Myers and Cape Coral. It’s looking quite bad, moving at 9mph, damage will be significant.

FOH has been my trusted source since before the forum existed and it was just emails to my beloved Lisa at Cigar Czar. Before then it was the LCDH in Windsor. I’ve had this discussion with friends before about using grey market resellers - It’s just not worth it, be patient, don’t chase sale prices, and only buy from proven source. They’ve shown me too many boxes that have had too many red flags. If I ever get a fake I know who to call, but I’m not worried about that so no need for me to buy a black light, even if he is a self proclaimed pirate.

88 Dodge Daytona. Was my dads car he’d had for 7 years. Worked great for about 9 months until I blew the engine. Something about “needed oil, it’s bone dry.” You know you can’t really trust mechanics.

This one doesn’t make my lineup. Not offensive or anything just not very interesting to me. By far my least fav belicoso or pyramid.

Neighbor decided to shovel snow off his roof a few years back. Yes you read that correctly. You can fill in the rest. He didn’t die he broke both arms and had them in casts for months, that’s a miserable few months. Sure hope he had a bidet. This is why I avoid all manual labor.

Love these questions. I know they come up often but what I find interesting is how often the list changes even from year to year. Here’s mine, in no order: - Partagas Lusitania - RAG - M2 - Mag46 - Topes (just edging out the Esmerelda) - Winnies
