Whenever I am traveling abroad, I always find time to go to the lcdh's, to smoke and talk. In Europe, they (most of the time, but not all) talk down to me or my friends, saying "most Americans" cannot tell the difference between a NC or a Cuban, until I start talking and they say "you are not like most Americans"... A few weeks ago, I was in Hong Kong, and the manager at the lcdh tried to sell me Partagas LE's saying they were just like the best NC's in America... I proceeded to let him know how wrong he was, and to never say that to anyone ever again... I agree with you. 1

It simply wouldn't be possible to keep secret.
danny Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I would have to go with the "it's plume" as well. Mostly due to the recent visit to Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. It's amazing how much time and money they probably spent to remodel the place only to have a unit that blasts an INSANE amount of humidification (where you can't even see in front of you) whenever the door is open. The staff being so adamant that the wrinkled cigars with mold all over them, as well as the cello, being "plume" is beyond me.....
Lotusguy Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yup, the plume comment. Especially the fuzzy green kind that grows on the foot

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I could see someone describing the "tingling" sensation I get from Bolis as being a form of "mint," less so in taste than effect
