KB24 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 When you sit down for these tastings, they must last at least a few hours correct? 3 good size cigars at 1 sitting must take a lot of smoke time. -Patrick

Suckling kept the ball rolling by telling the room when to light another cigar. I resisted the temptation to say "just leave the bottle" and we will get around to the next cigar when we finish this one :-)
Ken Gargett Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 there were three spots at our table. only two turned up. seemed a waste not to bring the cigars back, customs permittting.

boss hogg Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Prez, it's been a while since I've been on FoH but this is a great thread and a strong reminder of how much I enjoy the banter back and forth between you and Ken.....and the lack of sycophant ass-kissing that goes on in other forums.
56Tweed Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Its been three years since I've purchased any ELs, but I may just try some this year!
