Professor Twain Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 This was a night to be long remembered--Shrink and I are both psychologists, and we were able to sit down last week at a conference in San Francisco. We joined up at the Occidental Cigar Club, and smoked three cigars each. Shrink was just as funny and engaging in person as he is on the Board--and neither of us turned on our X Ray Psychologist eyes, we just had a good time visiting and talking cigars. Shrink gave me an outstanding aged Cohiba Corona Especiale. I haven't smoked many of these and this one was perfect, really getting me tempted to look for some. He also sent a nice PSD4 my way. It was fun seeing Shrink's eyes light up as he talked about 2006 cigars. Man, that guy has a passion for 2006. It was also fun hearing him tell about his cigar storage system. He has something very unusual. I hope he will contribute a photo essay at some point. OK, here we are in action. I am the young looking guy with the dark hair (or that is, with any hair): If you ever get the chance to sit down with Shrink, don't pass it up. I look forward to meeting up with him again.
shrink Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Bill, thanks for posting this... Bill and I met at the Occidental Cigar Bar, on Pine Street in downtown San Francisco. This is a great place to meet friends, have a drink and enjoy some cigars. They have NC's for sale on site, but most people seem to bring their own. The environment is appropriately smokey! If you go alone, you will have no problem striking up conversations with other aficionados, who love to discuss cigars, politics and philosophy. The Professor turned me on to a couple of fine stogies, including a 'Hot off the presses' Cohiba Secretos, and an '01 Upmann No. 2. Although the Cohiba was nice, with a medium-bodied toasty core, and some sweet cocoa and coffee flavors, the big Upmann Piramide really stole the show. One of the best H.U. #2's I've ever had. Not a complex cigar, but loaded with nutty flavors, and that classic Upmann 'musty' aged tobacco taste. Thanks again, Bill for this treat. But most of all, thanks for the chance to burn the leaf, and shoot the **** with a fine BOTL!
El Presidente Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I haven't seen two shadier bastards :-D Look forward to doing the same someday. I will be conscious of not taking the couch ;-)
Ginseng Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Sounds like a great time! It's always a delight to hear accounts of members meeting for a smoke. Wilkey
TexaSmoke Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Sounds like you guys had a great time. Always good to hear.
Professor Twain Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 I forgot to post a copy of this sign that hangs on the wall of the Occidental: Nice sentiment.
shrink Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 It looked like there were quite a few people who were doing a good job of getting stoned, without any public assistance whatsover.
greenpimp Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Yeah they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good... Looked like a good time, there guys. But you don't look anything like Freud or Twain. FYI. FWIW. IMO.
jwm8592 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks for posting, that is awesome that you both could get together and enjoy some fine smokes. BTW, I love the sign.

El Presidente Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Some of my finest work has been done on that couch.
shrink Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Some of my finest work has been done on that couch. I'll bet... that is a fine piece of furniture that befits a man in your, ahem... positions. BTW, what kinda trick you want dis weekend? French, Greek, Turkish, Straight, Half & Half?
Loki Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Bob Now all you have to do is trade in that pretty little sammy of yours for a big ol' pit bull.
Ben Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 God damn this is a funny thread, good work all :-D
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Now there is a psychlogist I can relate to »
shrink Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Man, I have never looked so good. I'm SuperFly! And thanks for the cash, Colt. I need it to pay my habanos bill.
