Not only that, but I've always found the Lyft drivers to be a better experience overall. And yes, I've used both around DFW area as well as other major cities. And yes, Lyft tends to be cheaper as well

Better? Yes and no. One of my Lyft drivers took the job, then drove in the opposite direction from my location without cancelling. Kept showing on my phone as, "Your driver will be arriving shortly", even though he was on the highway. As I was in a hurry, I had to cancel the ride myself and rebook another Lyft driver. Was charged the cancellation fee, but complained, so they gave it back as a credit. Problem is, you can't give negative feedback on a cancelled ride.

Another one spent 10 minutes trying to find my destination (it was a difficult location, she wasn't familiar with the area, and the map was of no use), but marked the ride as completed before searching, so I wouldn't be overcharged.

The only guarantees are cheap beer and expensive hookers. Everything else will be complained about by someone.

I didn't see on their website if outside sticks are allowed. Anybody have info on that? Or do you have to buy a stick from them and then smoke your own?

[RijkdeGooier]

Enjoy the trip @JohnS. 

I assume billboards will anounce your presence?

@alloy I'll call and ask

My recommendation:


http://www.cigarloungeatchamberlains.com/

Chamberlains has good steaks and in the cigar lounge you can smoke and eat your steak. You can also bring your own cigars.

You know I read that initially as, "don't do anything I wouldn't do"? Then I re-read it and it made sense! ?

Seems like John will only be there the 23rd. ?

How long will you be in the area Mike? Always like to meet other members.

[Habana Mike]

Would love to get together. We will be in and out of Corpus Christi all winter. We drive dad down on 12-26, fly home on 1-2-19, then fly back on 2-12-19 and stay until the end of March. If you get down our way let me know. We’ll be on the beach right by Packery channel.

[JohnS]

Sorry to miss you Mike but I do understand. Yes, Brisbane next November.

Mike (yes, the other one...madandana) I am in Dallas until the 28th when I leave. I'd love to catch up if we can make it happen.

There's a new lounge opening this month much closer to your hotel as well if that's a consideration, the ownership there is planning to be very friendly about Habanos. 

 

Hey! I am going to be in Dallas this week, staying downtown. What's the name of the new place?

[Çnote]

Call this guy 

it's a cigar shop with a small public lounge and a VIP member's area...

Perfect. I’ll PM you. I think we can make it work. 

[JohnS]

Well, it's been fun so far...

And what weather we've had in Florida today folks (wet and windy!) Oh well, Sydney (my hometown in Australia) got hit by flash thunderstorms and hailstorms last night too. Looking forward to catching up on a cigar or two tonight at Corona Cigar Bar at Dr. Phillips tonight. I'll be there around 6 pm onwards.

Looks like a Great time John! See you at the Silver Leaf on the 23rd!
