I ain't saying it's perfect... but it's damn delicious.

More like Chinese interests lately, but yeah pretty much. An empire in decline retreats to its center and tried to protect the margins. Can't tolerate having a non-aligned island cozying up to the new emerging power 90 miles off of your coast, embargo or not. Realistically, there's not that much the Russians or Chinese can do there, unless they intend to redo the whole "send nukes over there" thing. Something the Russians can't afford, and the Chinese don't have to do. However, the Chinese have allegedly been increasing their intelligence footprint on Cuba.

They're not interested in the populace overthrowing the non-US aligned government for the Cuban people's benefit, just in case the last 80 years of State Department-orchestrated foreign gov't overthrows didn't give that part away. They're interested in having an aligned elite in place. All these liberal and humanitarian ideals are for mass consumption. Machiavelli spelled it out 6 centuries ago, and not that much has changed in politics, we just like to pretend it did.

I was looking for some recent old 24/24 topics to find what I am missing. Do we have an archieve sub forum?

18 Punch Sir David Hong Kong ER - 7 1/8 X 49 - marzipan, coffee cake - breathtaking.

Due to Russian interests in Cuba.

Awesome pics - very cool. Just got some trinity robustos and puro desnudo piramide's in the week. Really looking forward to trying them but letting them rest for a bit.

I can't watch anything he's in. He just gives me this completely skeevy vibe, like I'd cross the street if he were walking near me in the dark. It is visceral.

Brando Day-Lewis Don't forget My Left Foot and Phantom Thread. Many others.

Why are they so interested in regime change in Cuba?

These are some of the best pictures I've seen! @El Presidente Frame on wall worthy. Nerdy question, what camera was used for these?

I am indeed! I'm a former season-ticket holder, but still get to at least a couple of games per season.

The crew is going to roll over as soon as the US Navy attempts to board ship. Crew members are not looking to risk their lives over this.

That’s no different than firing on the ship. Same exact point still applies.

This looks like one that would be right in my wheelhouse!

So great to see all the work that goes into delivering something we all love so much!

So many great actors to name. Cillian Murphy, Christoph Waltz, Gary Oldman have always given amazing performances. Hellen Mirren, Kathy Bates, Brie Larson, Michelle Yeoh, never miss as far as I am concerned, performances are outstanding.

I'm prety sure we all can agree that a regime change in Cuba will be a good thing for the Cubanos. Question is, how to effect that change. Anyone have a better solution that economic pressure? I don't think a strongly worded letter will do it, and I don't see how a populace armed with sharpened sticks and rocks can overthrow a militarized government.

Well hello new best friend.......😁 I've got about 2/3 box of LUB MAY 14 that have been smoking VERY well for me. Unfortunately I was not in the game in 2014 so I never got the chance to try them fresh, so I will never have anything to compare them to other than now. Either way different strokes for different folks. @DeeBeezyIn regards to thoughts on the HU2s in general, they very well may be my favorite regular production stick. From 19-22 they have/are smoking beautifully. Especially the 2022 box I have. This summer I smoked a SUB JAN 2012 that was still bringing the house down.

Recently went on a Daniel day Lewis spree after reading so much about his acting skill over the years. And can confirm the hype is deserved and he is about as good as there is. other mentions from me would be : Jack Nicholson Ralph Fiennes. Christian Bale that would probably be my current top 4.

Too many to list so I’ll go with the most recent in my mind. Good series. Gary Oldman—Slow Horses

I mean it has to be a joke right?! No one in their right mind can actually believe that HSA had the foresight right?! To roll some fundies at El Laguito (which in of itself I've NEVER SEEN before), put them aside for 10 years for a new ultra limited vintage line, jack up Trini prices 300+% and then auction them off. We've never seen that sort of competency coming out of HSA. Anyone who bids on these should know they are getting duped in regards to the 'age statement'.
