I have bad news for you about lounge smoking in Canada...

I hope they have a year round indoor lounge for enthusiasts. I bet there is not much outdoor cigar smoking going on in Edmonton this time of year.

Agreed on benefits of medicine and the dangers that have emerged due to the profitability of it. Would be so good for humanity if we could regain some trust here. I've had my own dubious experience with pharmaceuticals, prescribing doctors, etc. Doesn't mean I don't believe in the power of medicine, but I also had to take matter into my hands more than once.

I wholeheartedly respect John, his overall CC knowledge and his cigar reviews are second to none. Also, and I have said it before, the FOH forum would not be the same without John's dedication and kindness.

Romeo y Julieta Churchill (GEL JUN20). A wonderful weekend to you all.

Oh those rich people. I thought you meant proper wealthy people.

Punch 48 LCDH LGR JUN 17

Amazing !!

RA 8-9-8, OSU JUN02. Beautifully rolled, tarnished band, punched leaving a clean divot. Last cigar in the box, did not disappoint. Quick to light, a fantastic draw produced clouds of beautiful blue smoke. No stewed fruits, but a complex array of pepper, wood, and toasted tobacco that didn't change, but intensified as the cigar smoked to a medium-full finish. A glorious aroma complimented the myriad of flavors, sad to see this cab end.

Happy weekend FOH!

So many disenfranchised people in the world to care about. Suffering is universal. Let's see how long this stays up.

I played 9, not tight head prop. Now, I played 9 at 195-205, which is large for a 9 anywhere. Regardless, that is an impressive transformation.

No. Members are not allowed to sell their cigars on this Forum. You may trade cigars in the Trading Room, once you meet the minimum requirements.

It's been a few years since I was in Zurich, but the LCDH I would avoid at all costs. The owner is a total douche. How he has a franchise is beyond me. Around the corner from the LCDH is another store with a better selection. Although it's far from a cigar shop, Osswald Perfumerie is a must stop destination as is Sprüngli

I am glad to know the myths are not true. Thanks for the clarity.

And, Giz, I’d like to recognize and re-emphasize this point you’ve (repeatedly) made on the issue, ie, the passage of time. Senator seems to disregard the two-plus years between purchase and sale as irrelevant, but it’s clearly not - especially with large stores of cigars, was Bam supposed to remember where and when he bought every single cigar in his collection? Is he required to keep a log of all transactions? And to do so forever? Just to avoid the appearance of impropriety on any later day sale? Personally, I think that’s a silly proposition. I’m happy to give Bam the benefit of the doubt (again, assuming it’s Rooster’s box at issue) that he truly forgot where he procured it and simply wanted to sell off a box he was no longer interested in.

Fantastic write up. I'll be back in Malaysia in March for my cousin's wedding. Have a list of restaurants to hit to get my Malaysian food fix.

I clicked on the article and it basically is a list compiled by asking this question then putting the answers up from the readers. Seems like a weird way to write an article. Plus a lot of these items were cheap then, because they got popular the price shot up for example skirt steak. You could also say that for hot wings. They used to be fairly cheap then they got popular at bars so the demand drove the price up. Do I need to hold pinky fingers out when I eat hot wings because I am eating rich people food? 😆

I'm no doctor either, one could dig and find studies going both ways about ldl-c so there's no clear answer to that problem. High ldl levels seem to be protective to elderly people in regard to some cancers and other pathologies so.... My post was just meant to point out that there's no certainty when it comes to science, that's the whole point of it 👍 Feel free to DM me if you want to dig deeper, I don't want to hijack the thread 😉

But there's LDL-C that's the, I believe, Scientifically backed problem. So when we talk about cholesterol problems it's the cholesterol carried by ldl particles that causes problems. Still reading around the ApoB test to give an actual particle count of LDL, VLDL, and IDL. A high density of these is what causes build up apparently ... Then there's lp(a)... Statins of no use against some combination of these, and have side effects. Otherwise if it's a genetic reason the other drugs. I'm no doctor!

Agreed 100% It's a very sensitive topic, modern drugs and modern medicine are phenomenal tools but one cannot deny that there's too much money at stake to blindly trust the industry. I'm a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and a big part of the job is to bring people back to their physicians (all the more since COVID) in order to work together, not against them. Even in China my teachers were all both TCM/Medicine doctors.
