Please help me out here:   Why do conservative Cuban Americans in south Florida oppose easing restrictions with Cuba.  I'm sure there is an easy answer,  but it is escaping me at the present.  

They want the restriction to lead to regime change.

[Ever Sharpen your Cigar Cutter?]

I used have cool cutters and would lose or misplace them... this is now the program

[Thumbs up or down: Whiskey glass cigar rest]

Hard Pass.

[What would you settle for?]

I may not understand the question. Is that across a given Vitola or all Cubans?  I can’t make this comparison between CoLa and JL2.  Maybe I am missing. 

[not sure mick and keith would approve...]

I wish I had not clicked on this post.  I only watch about a minute.

[Things we should know: Hole in one Insurance]

Most private clubs in US have a system of it.   I get dinged on my bill $3-5  every time someone has a hole in one with a note of congrats and the name. Its voluntary but shares the burden. 

[Best wishes for our friend Jim @buzzard]

Get well Soon!  Speedy recovery!

[are these as bad as I think they are?]

The Bodeva looks legit.   Edit-  that is not a Boveda.... lol

[Condolences]

I am very sorry for your loss. RIP.

[Happy Thanksgiving]

Two of my three helping to cook at our place in the Laurel Highlands.  The third is in Covid Isolation at school, home today. No picture of the food.  Rack of Lamb, Au Gratin Potatoes,  Spinach with garlic and roasted Cipollini onions.  Apple pie for desert.  Pinot Noir cooking and Cab with dinner.

[What makes your local cigar lounge special to you? Or do you simply prefer to smoke at home?]

I am fortunate to have two private clubs in Pittsburgh where I can smoke. The men's grill at my golf club after 3:00.  Or the cigar bar at the Duquesne Club which I would argue is one of the best places  to smoke indoors.  @Cayman17 will vouch for that!  Other than that I agree with most here that I love the solitude of my home.

[Eddie Van Halen dead at 65]

RIP Eddie Van Halen.  One of my first concerts.  High School staple blaring out of the cassette deck and aftermarket speakers in my Mom's old 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass 4 door.  Brown with a tan top and one grey door.

[Who uses a cigar dossier/journal]

I have an inventory spreadsheet and that is it.  I don't keep the number in the box though, just what it started with and when it goes to the single drawer note that and zero out the count.

[An Ode to the PerfecDraw]

It works great for me. And way better than a golf tee when on the course without a PD.  I need one for the golf bag.

Do you give your cigar to caddy when you are hitting the ball?

 

Of course- What do you do?

[Best/Worst Car You've Owned?]

Worst car was a used 1981 Chevy Chevette that the heater didn't work and leaked water in the passenger side and froze in the winter. I used to put the floor mat on top of the ice.  Best was an Audi A8 that was the perfect car except for cargo space.  

[Siglo VI Grand Reserva]

A good friend bought a box 25 of these locally and paid $300.00 US.  I ran the serial number and they came up as Partagas Super Partagas.  While the labels look good the font on the box code looks off to me and the price is way off.   Also don't know if they were produced in 2019 and I thought were in boxes of 15.

Thoughts?
