KB24 Posted March 11, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suckling kept the ball rolling by telling the room when to light another cigar.

Ken Gargett Posted March 12, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boss hogg Posted March 12, 2008 Share 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.
