Reid loves his KC BBQ. He went to Q39 after one of the SB wins! The hate started before Taylor but agree it fueled more flames

Mag 50. My taste buds likey!!

Some recents… Te-Amo Toro - really good rebrand. RoMa Craft Cromagnon - disappointingly “unbold.” Padrón Diplomatico - speaks for itself, but no real strength (who smokes what to find Padrón’s “strong?!?!”). Casa Turrent 1880 Colorado Doble Robusto - yet another excellent Mexican puro. Tatuaje 10th Bon Chasseur - okay smoke, until the tar ruined it. Vegueros Centrofinos - meh, I’ll take any number of mid level NC over this CC any day of the week. Oliva Serie V Belicoso - this is one mid level cigar that is leagues better than the above…

Wife is from KC. I think some of the hate comes from the fact that people hate Taylor Swift and now associate their games with having to see her all the time. I think that’s moronic, but I’ve certainly heard it from several people as one of their main reasons. I just love Andy Reid. His answer after his first SB that he was going to get a cheeseburger is freaking etched into the comedy portion of my memory.

I’m a Giants fan, so I don’t hate the Patriots the same way others do. You know, because those two SB wins against Brady. But I want the Seahawks to win for the Sam Darnold story. Not only is it a cool redemption arc, but his winning would stick it to Jets fans in a way I’m not proud to find delicious.

Im from Kansas City. The Chiefs are hated for winning as well.

Growing up in Western Canada there was limited option for watching NFL football as a kid. Seattle games were often the only games we got on tv, so i became a Seahawks fan. It would be really nice to see Darnold get a Super Bowl.

Born in Massachusetts and certainly a Masshole. It's astonishing to witness the hate the Patriots foster in anyone not from this area. If the Pats win..... "They hate us because they ain't us."

Anyone who hasn't seen Tropic Thunder is missing out on great satire and comedy. And, for sure, the pretty boy steals the show. Robert Downey Jr has his moments as well.

This is hilarious. The scissors are my personal favorite part

I blind bought a box of these and the La Galera based solely on their stellar reviews. They arrive in a few days, and I’m stoked to try them after they acclimate.

I can’t speak to the wine/spirits because I quit drinking, but I definitely have started buying way more cigars than I can smoke soon. These things almost universally get better with a year or two in my environment and entirely universally get more expensive over time. I’ll gladly pay less upfront for a better experience in the end.

Love it! Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be allowed in “our” kitchen.

Congratulations!

I’ve got no rooting interest here at all. I’ll say the Patriots because their D line and pass rush impressed me. I think the Patriots will be able to run the ball more successfully too.

It’s rare for me to put a cigar down before the absolute nub. If I do, it’s usually because of bad construction. I won’t fight with my cigar. If it’s an easy fix, no problem. Sometimes there’s no fix, mostly CC. Sometimes it’s because I’m just sick of it’s flavor. That’s also rare but almost always NC.

We've been talking about Coprova's Regionals with friends lately and it's indeed appalling.... Portugal, Adriatico, Paises Bajos, Germany, Russia... Everybody's getting lonsdales, laguitos, nice vitolas and we only get fat robustos, except the Clemenceau which was a nice Churchill but it's considered by many as the poorest recent ER... I'm not the biggest special releases fan but, despite his size, I really enjoy the Qdo Capitolio fwiw...

This Masshole says Pats all the way!!! A new era begins!

To the nub if it's great. Otherwise I'll stop if the flavours either disappear or get harsh.

Not a big NFL fan. With that said, I do like the Eagles. And given Toronto's proximity to Buffalo; I also like the Bills. I always wish them success as they can use the boost. Buffalo always has a "sad sack", "Armpit of America" feel to it. They definitely get more snow than we do. So they have my sympathies there. They love their hockey too. So, they're my underdogs. Sad that they got bounced again.

Congrats @Mr. DD

The majority of wine I buy is to be enjoyed "soon". Special bottles for momentous occasions I buy in advance. Cigars I buy with the intent to smoke "later" for the most part. And while both pursuits share a lot of similarities, I find the dynamics quite different. A box of cigars can be opened, a cigar picked out and smoked and then socked away for a short or long while until I feel like revisiting it. A wine bottle, once opened needs to be enjoyed sooner than later. Sure i can buy a case of it, but to consume it, it's a bottle by bottle basis. The cigar box once closed is the same as it was when purchased. I don't have to smoke the box ASAP. I must drink the wine I just opened within at most 3 days. Sure, the other bottles can age but you won't know if it has changed until you've opened. The same goes for a cigar you smoke that you aged. In my mind, there is far more flexibility in the box of cigars than in a case of wine. Both hobbies have general rules on when it's best to consume a product. With wine it's hold / drink now. With cigars its' smoke in now, 2, 3, 5 years(aging #'s vary by marca). I can pull a cigar out of the box, change my mind and not smoke it and put it back. No harm no foul, unless I've left it out for a week. But if I open a bottle of wine, I'm committed. Drink ASAP or experience diminishing returns. As for Spirits, it takes me years to open some bottles and to consume them. I can only drink so much. My wife isn't into much of them besides rum and tequila for certain mixed drinks. So, I might have 2 - 3 bottles opened at a time. And I won't crack another open until I've finished off a bottle. As for this observation: Wine and spirits are depleted. Cigars are accumulated. I think this is bang on and it's reflected in some of what I've said above. It's easier to go through a bottle of wine, especially if shared within your household. It's harder to go through a cigar box , even if you're a voracious smoker, to the tune of 2 / day 365 days. I've known a few people that are 3-5/day. I'm at 3-5 per week in the warmer months. During winter, 1/month if I'm lucky. My cigar tastes are very wide across many marcas and vitolas whereas my wine tastes are few, mostly due to the fact that I tend to buy bottles that both my wife and I enjoy. There really isn't' a bottle of wine in my collection that is mine only. We tend to buy the same bottles unless a recent vintage deviates too much from what we've enjoyed in the past. We also buy a new bottle now and then to sample to see if we can find another staple.

Really needed a third option "I hope both teams lose" or "I am just here for Bad Bunny and the commercials". I think the Seahawks will win, and I am hoping they do. All the years of the patriots winning and dynasties is enough for me to root against them.

Mike beat me to it, the cigar tells me when its done. When I am no longer enjoying it.

I have needing some motivation and accountability to lose some weight, so here we go, even figured out to change it to Kilograms, like a proper member of world society.
