Hard agree on the Connie 1. Delicious. My Epi 1s are about 14 months old and still need some time I think. I’ll also add that my fresher Bolivars—BBF, BPC, and BRC—have been excellent

100%. I really like the rotation. Touch wood they stay healthy for the most part. 🤞 Infielder: Not a lot of options left now, unless we get very creative with something no one saw coming. Isaac Paredes, Matt Shaw, or Nico Hoerner seem to be the most mentioned. Hoerner's great but seems like you'd have to give up way too much for a 1yr rental. Shaw seems a decent option but hasn't proven himself consistently at the top level yet. And a Paredes deal, while it's nothing electric but is a good fit, seems like it should've been done by now if it was going to happen. My big hope is they can pry open the door to Ketel Marte talks again. D'backs have taken him off the lot, but I think a deal could be revived with the right pieces. He's the only one worth getting uncomfortable for. But again, getting late in the day for these sort of shenanigans and you open yourself up to being the desperate party and getting badly fleeced in the deal. Whatever they do, for the love of god, don't start the season with a Gonzalez/Hamilton platoon at 2nd. Dogsh!t support for the rotation. Romy is ok, but Hamilton blows.

Did you know a Bolivar PC costs us 30$ here.

Happy with the Red Sox starting pitching. Need an infielder……I think one more deal is coming. Let’s get it done Craig!

Catch you later today

Hello all! Any thoughts on aging potential for the MOFOH/Hamlet line in particular? I am new to the brand but have smoked all of the offerings. I have purchased 10 Fat Fundy from my local shop in Chicago and am curious about letting some sit for a long time. Thank you and cheers! Best, Arjun

I can’t believe people spend over $30 for Cubans. One is as nuts as the other.

Used to be a Hoyo Epi #1 was a great fresh cigar. Partagas D4 has always preformed young for me and the HU Conni #1 is a good one as well. These used to be everyday cigars but now most will look at the price and, at least, reminisce a bit. A few years down won't hurt any of them.

Puff puff I’ll pass on the $20 ninfa.

Mohammad and his Kuwait cigar team are one of the most professional premium cigar operations in the world today. It is a pleasure to work with them. It is a pleasure to spend time with them. I can certainly understand why global brands partner with them.

Random noob question. Why do cigar releases seem to be, at least in my limited time on here, in Kuwait? Or more specifically in Kuwait City. Is the cigar market simply that strong in Kuwait that it’s a litmus test market for mass production? Am I missing something else or just uninformed? Or all of or some combination of the above?

Welcome to FOH. I've done this in the past. Not sure how things are these days. I used to put an NC band over some of the sticks or just mail them separately in a letter envelope ahead of time. Given that there's a risk of confiscation. Dont bother with a return address. At least not a legit one. For example. Use "Deez Nutz" as the name. And for the address. Use one from a business in your area you don't particularly like.😁 In general, make sure it's a legit address from the postal area you'll be mailing it from. As for name, just don't use yours. Something generic would do. You don't want to be on a list just in case of an overzealous customs staff wants to score some points with the boss.

Chaps, looking for some advice. I'd like to send a few sticks to a mate in the US. They'll all be Cubans. maybe 10 or so. It's been a while since we've seen each other, so want to send a bit of a care package. Any advice? I've heard about removing bands etc. Or just drop them in a normal package (boveda etc) and they'll be fine. For reference, he's Florida based. Also, quick edit, just realised this is my first actual post. go easy on me 😂

Confirmed, mine are 07 AEP as well.

The coaching staff looked awesome on the bench!

DCA on steroids time. From here to the bottom. Where ever it is.

As a Jays fan i still haven't gotten over games 6 and 7 of the World Series, a real tough loss. I am happy with the offseason pitching moves, i suspect their rotation will be one of the strongest in MLB and the bull pen should be ok, still need a dominant closer. Losing Bichette is big hole and I really do not know what to expect from the Okamoto signing. A lot of things went really well for the Jays with players outperforming expectations I believe. Defensively they are very good and If the core players have similar seasons at the plate they should challenge for the AL East. I expect them to be in the hunt all season for the playoffs. I have three "special" cigars in my collection, one saved for my retirement, one for my son's wedding and I was planning on smoking the third one if the Jays won last year...maybe it will get turned to ash this fall.

It would make sense to me that the EGM crew is likely lurking on FOH, have seen the obvious success of the Nudies line and basically have their new product pipeline handed to them. If I were them, that's what I'd do. $20 for a NC Ninfa is quite high. Hard to be dramatically more expensive and worse than the competition, even with snazzy packaging.

I admit, it's not always easy.

Congratulations @Capn_Jackson and @carsncigarsuk!
