  1. Anyone else in Hong Kong? Have a 1988 Sancho Panza Beli Sent from the Enigma via Tapatalk for BlackBerry Classic.
  2. Aged top sirloins - extra marbling. Leave on the counter for 20 minutes. Serve with salt.
  3. I use a series of perfectly calculated orbital defence satellites put at civilian strength. C'mon Piggy, it's 2016 and you're still on CANDU5?! I actually just use a dual torch toast. Cedar spills if I can be bothered but everything is just more relax when your ritualistic habits start deteriorating with all the travel and busyness of life.
  4. I loved them ever since I went into the back of my local cigar shoppe and found a bundle of Petit Cetros with 6 years of age on them. They had some falling apart wrappers but the tastes were spot on to my surprise. I really don't regret getting those cigars. Those fresh ones have that unique Cuban twang to them (some call it harshness, I sometimes search for that kind of assault on the lips) for a fraction of the price. There are days that I would choose a 1YO JLP over a fresh Cohiba Siglo I or II.
  5. You know what? I'm gonna triple agree on this one. They seemed to have flooded the market a while back and my only regret is not getting more than 2 boxes. The Bolivar Corona Extras from that year kept coming back with more just like any TEB box coded cigar I've had. As for standard production, any Cohiba Siglo 1-5 would get my vote. The VI I have never liked and have barely found one that burned correctly, unfortunately...
  6. ...................... A box of PSP Montecristo No. 4s No ban, please...
  7. An ERdM with a strong IPA is one of life's treasures. I've really, really enjoyed my last 6m old Choix Supreme with Midtfyns Bryghus. It really helps to mask the young harshness of the ERdM CS. Laugh if you will, but those American / Canadian lagers are fantastic to pair with some cigars. I used to only use them to mix with gin to make an instant gin&tonic (instead of tonic water) but they are a step above regular sparkling water in terms of taste that pairs very well with a cigar. My favourite is Busch. If I really want to taste it, though. I would probably go with a strong cigar with Hobgoblin. A British friend of mine introduced that to me in Belgium and it was a fantastic pairing that I brought back to Canada with me. Great with steak, too!
  8. will you be offering different delivery options to catch up with the new competition?
  9. that's what the US servicemen in Vietnam said when the M16 saw one of its first large scale deployments.. they preferred the 4x cheaper AKs over the M16s in the muddy climates, too!
  10. Ah! That reminds me of the Gurkha His Royal Majesty where the most value is in the box and not the cigars itself. ........
  11. Go hunting for some Oryx
  12. Yeah - that'll happen! I normally purge more after a few of those awful Non-Cuban powerhouses. But it's happened to me on Habanos, too!
  13. Wilkey! My fellow enerdgineering friend! Have you considered basic metallurgy as a light hobby? It's easy to start out as the moulds aren't too expensive. The only thing you'll need is an oxy-C2H4 torch which can run into the 150-350 dollar range. Other than that, it's a really nice hobby to enthrall yourself into. So far, I've been able to make a lead ring (useless, but good starting point) Sent from the Enigma via Tapatalk for BlackBerry Classic.
  14. Yeah! You even brought MASH out of hiding!!
  15. Reminds me of that one TreeHouse of Horror episode where Bart has to sit beside Üter and partake in his candy, Joy Joys, that contains "Mit Iodine!" Sent from the Enigma via Tapatalk for BlackBerry Classic.
  16. I'm not sure you go to dens "lounges" in Vietnam to smoke "cigars". But I'm sure they exist. Have a great tip, Jimmy!
  17. You forgot the image to accompany that, Chris...
  18. Ouch. Dislike. With a bit better sticker placement, those boxes would be the best I've ever seen. Also, what would this mean: ? Does that mean that he is restricted by posting his findings online or face retaliation for signing a "document anti-fraud"?
  19. Thank you Jean. Now my cigars are safe from aberrations of nature, too. I think I'm just a bit more antsy since I've never seen an adult beetle before. Ah well...
  20. Bloody well advice, Bobbert! Asset to the forum as alway (well d'uh! ) I did a thorough quarantine of all the cigars in the immediate vicinity. the reason why I put the fiver in the bag was because it was the last little fiver from the box so I took em out and placed them there with my other "soon to be smoked" bunch. That bag went straight into the fridge and going into the freezer tonight for 3 days. The humidor is all in my A/Cd basement sitting at around 18 degree centigrade. OK, I hope. The only Siglo IV that was infested (it tunned its way out and grew into an adult) is actually still smokeable so we'll see how that goes. If anything, I'll just crop it and smoke it when mowing the grass or walking the dogs. My only quarrel now is if that is a male beetle or a female beetle. If it is a female beetle, they cannot proliferate without males, correct?
  21. Upon further reflection, I guess I could hope that it's a male as it was the only one in the bag. But then again, hope is for the weak. I need assurance that this winged bastard won't go around my cigars. I'm just going to say that freezing ALL my cigars is not a likely option at this point until it turns to Winter in Canada and I can just toss my tupperdores outside.
  22. Friend of mine gave me half a cab of Siglo VIs with 2013 codes the other day. I tossed a fiver in a bag a while ago and forgot about them as I organised them over the months. I decided to look today and there's the bloody flying beetle buzzing around the bag. WTFFFFF. Don't judge me but it got out. What do I do now? I mean... If it's been so long, would it have laid eggs in the cigars? Would it get in my other tupperdores? What do I do now that it might be floating around my house!?
  23. Nice. Nothing south of $400, I expect.
  24. I'm gonna side with Chris on this one... The Punch Royals have been one of the best regionals I've had. And they're pretty prolific around the world as well.
