  1. I would love to but this box puts my humidor to a, bursting at the seams level, I will let you know when I smoke my through some. Golf season so shouldn't take long.
  2. I saw a post saying how amazing the clearance and seconds cigars are that come from FOH are. I of course would always choose PSP if I could afford it but now I may change my mind when funds are a touch low. I got a mail day yesterday and this is what I saw... All I can say is WOW!!! I have been waiting for Dip 2s to come up and these were under seconds?! Thank you as always FOH and cheers. Can't wait to smoke one. Unlikely I am going to make 30 days down.
  3. Had my Tudor Pelagos stolen. Waiting for my insurance to get me a new one. Once I get it I will post a fitting celebration cigar and watch pic.
  4. Yes. I really need to looking into doing some splits with FOH Canadian brothers/sisters. I seem to end up with the same marcas time and again. Completely fine with that but would love to do some trying of different types.
  5. I agree. I was really wondering how many different marcas people are averaging. Since there is such a variety of flavours out there, seeing if people stay with three or four or way above that number? I am loyal to Cuban cigars. Have all of the marcas. The marcas are not individually owned brands, so marca lotalty is not something that matters.
  6. Every time I look through my humidor and think about what I would like to add to my collection of tasty treats, I think of so many brands I want to add. But, when it comes time to hit up 24:24 or 24:72 I always end up buying the same product. Now there is nothing wrong with being loyal if you have a specific palate and you know what hits that mark but I feel like I am only tasting a small sample from a very large buffet. What is your take on this and how many different brands do you stick in the old humidor? I come in at 4 consistently; Bolivar, HDM, Cuaba, Monte and am always searching for Dip 2s.
  7. It's restaurant lingo. Anytime anything runs out it is, 86d. Don't know where it originated but that is where it is most commonly heard.
  8. I am surprised at the lack of love for the Dip 2. I absolutely adore them. If they are on I don't think they can miss and they are seemingly on right now.
  9. Well if I may weigh in... After 13 years behind a bar I can honestly say that you have given this person way to much credit. People like that guy are just A holes. Might have been a bad day but might just be a POS. People just look for it nowadays just because it gives them a chance to have a say in something. You obviously made the right choice in not reacting and ending up getting into a situation that would have been worse for you in the long run. Well done sir, even though it would have been nice to blow a long cloud of delicious smoke in his face after you kicked his ass. Takes the bigger man to not.
  10. Good call. I forgot about the rum bar. Great place to have a cigar on the patio if it's a decent day or night.
  11. Went there in 11 while a friend and myself were attending the CA Big Smoke. Not a bad place to sit with a cocktail and a cigar. They charge a fair penny for Fuente but at least for a non CC they are decent. I agree though, time spent at a poker table or I believe there are a few steak houses that allow cigars is more to my taste.
  12. Oh....in for one of those for sure. Great addition to the patio.
  13. I live in Victoria BC. Not to far from Whistler. I can attest to the crazy laws around smoking in BC. The best suggestion would be to get a good travel case and bring your cigar favorites from FOH with you. The prices are insane in BC let alone Whistler. As to where to smoke. In a store or in front is out of the question. Laws and regulations basically prohibit it completely. I would say pack up a lovely flask of spirits and bring one or two cigars with you on the mountain or find a great spot in one of the park areas. Dress warm and have a proper winter cigar in Canada. A true test of how much you love cigars is smoking your favorite stick in Canada in the winter. Dress warm and join the club. Hope the trip is great.
  14. Couldn't agree more with the above statement. I have worked on a few hot rods with my dad and his friends and am in the search for my dream restomod. 65 FB Mustang. More to the point. Reliability is an absolute key! Build a project that you can get in turn the key and enjoy. Leave the aesthetics until the very end. Keep your budget for the good stuff, under the hood stuff! A truck like that, to me, looks great as a sleeper. Keep the paint and colour scheme on it but blow everyone's doors off with performance.
  15. Just to toss in a loop. I love my box of BRC I got from Prez. I have only had a handful but they are smoking like a dream. Nothing against the BCG, also impeccable but I find it tricky to find the time to get to truly enjoy that much stick. If you can find a stellar box of BRC I say they are the ones. The profile, draw, aroma, and well...etc are almost perfect Bolivar for me. Just my two cents. Really can't go wrong with either.
  16. It's funny. I love the look of the X5 but I ended up finding my dream 4x4 so I thought I would update everyone. 1998 Toyota 4Runner with the 2.7 4 cylinder and a 5 speed standard trans. Base model so no power extras but will go for ever and the body has very little rust (one of their big issues). It has pretty decent but high klm on it, 250k. But talked with my mechanic and he has owned two, still owns one, and he has got both to 450000 plus klms. Here's hoping the guy doesn't sell it before I can get to it. I will keep all posted. And of course please add your thoughts.
  17. Appreciate the words from fellow FOH members. I feel there are a few things that have been missed. Not to argue with what people that own the vehicles or have worked on them would say. 1, it has 150 kilometres on it not miles. 2, I have just started the look and with the opinions provided here I am also doing my own research. 3, the fact of the matter is, all cars with decent millage on them are going to have some mechanical issues. I am aware of this. I just thought that some extra opinions would help my search. With that said, what would people suggest is a good vehicle to look at with some millage on it?
  18. Forgot to say it's a 2004.
  19. Looking at getting a second vehicle and just wanted to see some thoughts on the car I am looking at. I am looking at a BMW X5 4.4i with around a 150k on it. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.
  20. Fantastic stick. Had a few and they were all fantastic. I do agree that they are a little more LE than Boli but I don't think the main Boli profile is lost. Really enjoy. Might actually have one tonight...thanks for the idea.
  21. Sorry, I will clarify my comment. It was more of a general comment about freezing. I have never frozen cigars and was just wondering if it is a practice to get into even with cigars from FOH.
  22. So does this mean that we should freeze the CCs we get from you as well? I have great faith in FOH so these words carry great weight. Interested to know because if yes my whole humidor is going in the freezer.
  23. Are light patches a sign of larvae? I have seen a few cigars that have a significant almost cream color light patch in separator spots. Maybe the size of a small pebble. Thoughts?
  24. As I sit salivating over today's 24:24 I wonder why I am not purchasing any of these absolute beauties? So I asked myself (with a reasonably stocked humidor) what is the one cigar I am waiting for to show up 24:24? And what is the one cigar you are waiting for to show up on 24:24? For me I am waiting for some cracker Cohiba Supremos, HDM DC, Boli RC, or Connie A's Now tell me yours...
