Sure thing! Maybe not tomorrow's numbers, but for the longer term it's ₿ ₿ ₿ ₿ ₿ ₿!

Let me know the winning lottery numbers for tomorrow while y’all are at it.

What's sadder than the prices is the offerings. Look at what Bolivar and Punch were. SLR and Partagas too. 🤢

Sinner, 5, yes, over PSG, 4-1, yes, PSG

Here is my advice, look away. The available inventory, prices, and box codes are frustrating aren’t they? In my mind, those were the good old days where you actually had the information to make a sound online purchasing decision…Today is kind of a crap shoot.

Get a pipe! 😄

Nope...IMO, might be best to plan when lighting a Lusi or wonders of such size. Lazy afternoons on the deck are best for such wonderful cigars in my opinion. That said, if you were experimenting -- I'd suggest you use a guillotine cutter and clip off a half inch from the lit end. Whatever you do, do NOT put it back in your humidor. (It will stink up all of your well-kept cigars, or so I have heard, and it's not worth the risk.) Perhaps put it in a glass container or in a Tupperware that you're willing to throw away afterwards. Just suggestions, without knowledge of any success. In case these ideas are helpful.

Very true. BTC is breaking new highs!

I would try to relight, but that’s what I would do.

CoRo. Yeah the end looks rough. I rip the cap off with my thumbnail like the savage I am.

Ick, yea. I've never had a good re-light. Has anyone?

The last third of these Hoyo Epi 2’s I’ve been smoking are some of my favorite moments all summer. Really ringing my bell. I see an order for another 50 cab in my immediate future.

Friends, Few others will understand my disgust. I must vent. I don’t get the opportunity to get out much to enjoy a cigar - young kids, etc etc. Anyway, opportunity arose this evening. Planned to spend some time at local lounge, grabbed a Lusi I got from BR last year. On the cold draw…panic. Tight…very tight. Didn’t get better after first half inch. Rookie mistake - left Perfecdraw at home. Bought a new world cigar at the lounge, it was pretty good. But, still…you guys can understand my frustration. With what these cost these days, I can’t pitch it. But, it’s already 9:15pm where I am. Do I try to fix with the draw tool and re-light tomorrow? Going to give it a go. Will try the purge thing I researched on the forum. Will report back. Anyway, what a pain…I know you guys get it. Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend!

Sweet. CC are getting cheaper and cheaper in ₿ terms.

I know that vendor well. Started buying from them in '02. Those '08 prices were horrendous!

All this Talisman talk. I was wondering what to break out tonight after it cools off a bit. 🤔

Like those ideas a lot.

i take it that Merckx was a cyclist, not a motorbike rider? undoubtedly impressive percentage but the number of incidents with drug cheating have left me very skeptical about the entire sport. same for corruption in boxing. but both might be more that i am getting old than have any genuine widespread basis. i used to watch F1 a bit, but how anyone can claim hamilton is the greatest because he has a 20 something percentage is beyond me. sure, impressive but you have mentioned Schumacher and elsewhere andretti, but Fangio was 47% winning races. almost every second race. lewis is not on the same track as that. understand the individual v team argument but the discussion about bradman has hardly touched on his/the team's winning record. no question it went way up when he was in the team but it is because he dominated his sport in a manner that no one else, team or individual has ever done. and the guy retired back in 1948. except, of course, as mentioned, heather mckay. two losses in twenty years. that is simply hard to fathom.

….and not caused by earthquake - that’s the true tragedy!

My wife spent over two hours making the sauce for this Pappardella in rich meat sauce. Time well spent, rich is an understatement! Had with a great 2008 Marchesi di Barolo. Outstanding meal and wine.

Mine landed safely today & will rest a month before diving in! Thanks again FOH!

Of the 3 dead one is a 7 year old girl I read elsewhere 😥 at Monte 722, between Rastro and Carmen on Friday. https://en.cibercuba.com/noticias/2025-07-12-u1-e129488-s27061-nid306873-tres-personas-atrapadas-tras-derrumbe-habana-vieja And this is another building in Havana's Santo Suárez Neighborhood on Saturday? With one dead. https://www.cubaheadlines.com/articles/306890

N2 Pirámides – Tasting Review First Impressions: • Lights up beautifully with an instant burst of warm baking spice on the nose • Smooth retrohale, light mouthfeel, and a silky, creamy texture • Notes of bread and citrus linger gently on the finish • Slightly wavy burn, but holds steady • Paired with a cortado (note: coffee overpowered the cigar’s delicate profile) ⸻ Second Third: • Green apple and sweet pear enter the mix • Hints of peanut and mellow sweetness • Baking spice lingers in the background • Creaminess builds while remaining light and balanced ⸻ Final Third (Star of the Show): • Like biting into apple-cherry cobbler • Leather joins for a longer, more medium-bodied finish • Baking spice, citrus, and plum blend beautifully • Finish lingers a good 30 minutes post-smoke—mostly cherry ⸻ An incredible value cigar at around $12/stick. Balanced, elegant, and dessert-like in the final third. Absolutely worthy of the rotation. Solid 92
