Can anyone identify what they are smoking?

I think the rushed ending of GoT brings it down, and I know a lot of people love BB, including the ending. For me, I think the hatred for the end of GoT is overblown, it was rushed, but in retrospect, it got to the logical conclusion that we were leading up to, it just should have taken 8 more seasons to get there.

I haven't heard that so I didn't bother asking if I could actually buy anything. That's like so 2010.

Breaking Bad is arguably the best show ever released. (yes I went there). I don't typically re-watch a TV series but I did with BB and it was still just as good as the first time. GoT was also a VERY good show but was lacking in 'something'. Quite possibly it was the terrible ending that others had suggested above.

Not the most appealing name for a cigar. No way could it be mild.

On the bright side, think of how great Bourbon will be in the next 5-10 years. So many idle barrels aging, some purchased at a fraction of their original value. Great time for a big player to swoop in and buying languishing stocks to sit on.

I thought with the Bucherer acquisition, the Geneva boutique was supposed to be actually selling watches.

Balbec still improving. I’ll give these another 6 months because they are improving so well.

It’s hard to succinctly put everything down without being long winded. Short version is, everyone’s bunkers are full and demand dried up. The big buyers aren’t buying, they’re bored with bourbon now. There is fatigue for bourbon. Covid ended, folks are back to work. Gen Z isn’t drinking. A lot of confluence. Saw Stagg JR on the shelf a normal ish prices last week along with Weller Green and 107 here in Kentucky. Man if folks weren’t here doing the boom, the sheer gangstery that happened in back rooms for the sought after bottles was like something from an Al Capone novel. That’s no longer happening.

Thanks a bunch! Went 1 for 1, harvested a big doe at about 90 yds. Too warm all weekend, bucks were bedded down during the day. Rut starts in mid/late January in this part of Alabama & I'll be back in the woods in a couple of weeks. More Nudies will be part of the trip, too!

Partagas Lonsdale cab, LL00.

Why did they call these cojones!?

C&C time. PSDP from our gracious host.

My big brother did the same as you at the time. Season 1 is almost only character developpement with Gilligan, go through it and you shall be rewarded 👍

Echoing really. I found A Song of Ice and Fire via Dragon Age which was influenced by the stories and setting. Really enjoyed the book series. Which is still not complete I've just looked up. The series just brought it to life. But had it's shortcomings. BB. Wtf lol. I got through about 5 or 6 episodes many years ago and just got bored and disinterested. Don't get it. If its fantasy you want, then go full fantasy!

I've fairly enjoyed watching GoT but Breaking Bad wins, no contest. This poll reminds me of a chat I had with some random girl 20 years ago in a Café in Paris. She was sitting next to me, both on our own, I was sipping my "café allongé" when she began talking to me. She was cute, the little chit chat was going well until the point she noticed the book I had just put down on the table in front of me: - You're a reader, really nice! It's a big book, what is it? - Thanks, yeah it's Dostoïevski's "The Brothers Karamazov". Probably the best book I've read so far, you should give it a shot! At that point I'm pretty sure she's gonna ask me what it is about, but it was one of those moments in life when you learn that one cannot foresee what's gonna happen next... - Ho God, if you like big books you should read the last Harry Potter! she said, very excited. One could see in her eyes she had no idea she'd just committed an unforgivable sacrilege so I wasn't even mad, I was amazed... To be frank I don't recall what was said after that but I've never seen her again, I must have fled the scene quickly. Well, long story short, Breaking Bad is a masterpiece, GoT is good entertainment so it's basically an "apples and oranges" situation.

Game of Thrones is an incredible series of books which I have been waiting for for my entire adult life. The TV show started extremely strong and ended on a wet fart at best. I couldn't ever really get into BB No contest by order of the Peaky Blinders

The big smoke! Scott McTominay lights up a cigar in the changing room after winning his second trophy at Napoli By CIARAN FOREMAN, SPORTS REPORTER - Published: 10:37 AEDT, 23 December 2025 Scott McTominay's transformation from Manchester United utility man to slick-backed, trophy-winning, bicycle-kick-scoring Napoli maverick continues to swagger on. And this time, he's celebrating by lighting up a cigar. Napoli, affectionately known as Gli Azzurri in the city where they are worshipped like gods, clinched yet another trophy as they triumphed 2-0 over Bologna in the Supercoppa Italiana final on Monday evening. David Neres' two goals were enough for Antonio Conte's side on the night, but contributions from McTominay, as well as United loanee Rasmus Hojlund helped them roar through the showpiece. It is Napoli's second piece of silverware since McTominay arrived, and will ensure that the murals of the Scotsman - which can be found in every cobbled corner of the rough-and-ready port city - are going nowhere, any time soon. Their golden boy will undoubtedly have a big night in store, and he has begun it by firing up a cigar in the changing room alongside team-mates Luca Marianucci and Antonio Vergara. Scott McTominay is celebrating Napoli's Supercoppa Italiana win by lighting up a big cigar The triumph is the Scottish midfielder's second trophy since swapping Manchester for Naples Napoli beat Bologna thanks to a David Neres brace but McTominay was at the heart of things McTominay's previous title win came in Napoli's 2024-25 campaign, where they finished just one point ahead of Inter Milan to clinch a famous Scudetto. Their Supercoppa victory on Monday - their first since the 2014-15 campaign and their second after 1990-91 - marks the first time Napoli have won two trophies in a calendar year since Diego Maradona graced the shirt. 'We had fun tonight,' the club's president Aurelio De Laurentiis said. 'It is not since the Maradona era that we won two trophies in a single calendar year, so that is already important. 'I tell the fans dream away... always dream.' Previously reserved for the Serie A and Coppa Italia champions, the Supercoppa was expanded in 2023 to add the league and cup runners-up, which this year were Inter and AC, who Napoli defeated in the semi-final. The four-team format is contracted to be held in Saudi Arabia until 2029, with Monday's final played out in the capital of Riyadh.

There are plenty of over-market Fuente & Tatuaje online at prices that would make a B&M blush. There's no heroes when retailing luxury, just pirates and jackals.

Got a great box of these from a friend a couple years ago, and every one has been a winner. Cold draw, coffee and peanut shell. A little sandalwood. The light-up is a wonderful blend of that Allones fruit and some peanut butter. Going on, great berry mixed with nuts. Extremely creamy texture, and excellent draw. Second half is more along the lines of vanilla bean, coffee and caramel crème on top. Divine notes of dark molasses before the nub. Very low on strength throughout the little smoke, and excellent creamy texture all the way.

A beautiful tune from a criminally underrated band that hits hard. It doesn't make me feel - just kicks it up a notch to the +ve or -ve. For those who haven't heard 'em, give it a shot to the finish. Solid ending. Cheers!

Well overall I guess that’s good news, hopefully I just started with a bad sample.
