Don’t forget Di as Ginger and Lisa as Mrs. Howell. Clive as the Professor?

You are one funny man Peter 🤣 Clive is the professor all day long. We are catching up today for a cigar.

The Professor, Russell Johnson, was my neighbor until he died in 2014. Great guy, full of life, realized that his role on Gilligan brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people. It took him awhile to accept that it was what he would be known for after 65 years of movies and TV show appearances.

I can see the FOH crew now deserted on a lost island somewhere. Episode one is getting tobacco seed planted knowing it’s a 4 year wait.

i've travelled with Rob. he'd be going around finding out who had what and then insisting that your SLR DCs be chopped in half so they go further. i am still scarred by that sacrilige. and i was a bad person because i refused. take the entire cigar but never chop it up. westie, you might think of him as gilligan but i think mr howell is more apt.

That’s a bit of desperation isn’t it Ken, having to half everyone’s SLR DC’s? FMD.

Sometimes is nice being the mongrel of the group…especially with a full length cigar. 😁

i was castigated for this. it was on a fishing trip to Chile. Rob and i brought cigars. another bloke as well. that left 2 or 3 who apparently thought that Rob would bring cigars for them. because they are bone lazy and not very bright. they were outraged when they found out that Rob had not. in a desperate move (exactly as you suggest), to ensure he was still loved by all, he wanted to chop up my SLR DCs (certainly would not have been loved by me).

i was the worst person on the planet for not agreeing - even though i did hand over my PLPCs and a few others. oh, the perfidiousness. i have no doubt i will be absolved by future generations.

I’m sure you will be Ken. Almost complete sacrilege to desecrate such lovely cigars. 

A bit scungy to think that Rob would spot for everyone. I would have been heartbroken the moment all eyes are on you and you are looking down at your SLR DCs thinking should I? I think you made the right choice mate.

many thanks and brave of you. sadly, that likely means your time on the forum is about to come to a shuddering halt. i am still vilified.

Hahahaha, I always end up sharing an unpopular opinion. Don’t worry I’m used to it. If I’m here in a week, I’ll take it I slipped through the net and my membership wasn’t voided.

Bravo Ken! The SLR DC is one of the truly magnificent cigars ever produced. To cut them up would have been sacrilegious indeed. Had I witnessed such I think I would have shed a tear.
