I'll take these please!

Mine Please!

Patrick, I live in that area and have been to both S&B and Del Friscos. I prefer Del Friscos as it is a 4 or 5 star steak house. A bit on the high end, but it has a great atmosphere and is pretty laid back. I found that Stogies can be a bit loud with the music, but has reasonable drink prices. Kent

Very impressive!

It is a great scent once you associate it with fine cigars. It's like the smell of some good old kindage.

Great story! Feral = the color red from the scratches you received. Those darn cats are great at playing hide n' seek. Mine can fit into the smallest of odd places.

Just ordered up a box on sale. Can't beat that price. Busted my cherry on the Czar!

Let's get ready to rumble! I also agree that it's in the after taste.

I'd go broke!

Are you gonna leave the sunflowers on it?? You should video it and put it on the DIY Network.

Class personified...very nice!

Awesome and uplifting story from one courageous person! Smooth!!!!

Very sad and shocking. As an avid skier, I've had a few hellish falls where thinking to myself while falling, that this is the one that kills me. Only to pull myself out of the trees and walk away untouched. I cringe when I see little ones on the mountain without a helmet. RIP Natasha.

Dave thanks for the greeting! I will certainly try to make it there and meet some of you. It's really cool a forum like this can bring all types of people together. On a side note. I've noticed that some forum members have links to their respected websites. For those of you in Colorado I'd like to give you my tip/news of the day from my line of business: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the other members of the Federal Open Market Committee stunned the credit markets with their announced plans to buy up to an additional $750 billion of mortgage-backed securities. Market participants were further shocked by the Fed's plan to buy up $300 billion of longer-term U.S. government debt over the next six months. This event is nothing but mortgage market friendly and virtually assures mortgage interest rates will stay unusually low for an period of time. So if you are in the market to buy or refinance, this is a ray of sunshine and great news. I can't wait till tomorrow to see where rates on the 30 and 15 year have dropped.

Are new guys welcome?

That's why I come here...first hand and first class information!!

I thought that LCDH's were supposed to held to a higher standard?

That's Koo-Koo!

Good luck with that. He's going to need more than luck to see this through. Maybe he should focus on banning the horrible chemicals used in the making of most globalized tobacco products.

Good god fella's!!! I was looking at the pics of the forum member humidors and was astonished by the gargantuan plethora of fine cigars that have been assembled. I'm not sure I should even be here after seeing those pictures. For me it's like a kid in a candy store. On that note, how important is it to seperate your bundles to prevent cigar marriage? I noticed some where using zip lock bags to do the separating. Do you seal them or leave them unzipped to ensure proper humidification? Well it's off to go look at my 3 humidor collection and laugh.

From what I can see they look authentic. If not, they are good counterfeits. Is the Habanos SA imprinted into the box? Almost like it was burned? I'm not sure about the factory code, but I think they changed that up over the years to be more diffcult to identify. To me they look real, but I'm no authority, and can't see or feel the stamp on the bottom of the box. I'm sure the Pros here in the forum will let you know jiffy quick.

Them sure are purrty!

Hey Dale...thanks for the shout out. Are there many of us in this forum? Kent

Oh great, I already have a facination with bands, now I'm going to have to look at every one I've collected to see if there's some kind of easter egg hidden in them. Maybe finding this site wasn't such a good thing because I'm not getting any work done...haha!

Although I'm no expert but have been collecting and smoking fine cigars for about 7 years, this cigar had me a bit worried. The bands are impeccable, even the 2nd band which I hadn't ever seen, beautiful wrapper, aroma and smoked great. It does need some age on it. I came across this site looking for that 2nd band and am glad I did. Thanks to Punch and Doc for their valuable input. I've posted a couple more pics, but can't seem to get the image quality that most of you have been able to capture. Thanks!!
