  1. Past hour
  2. Probably a box of H Upmann Monarchs around 2000. I think every cigar was plugged. I had a cab of BCG around '05 that had a lot of plugged cigars but the ones that were good were very good.
  3. If Skubal ends up a dodger, that just might be the end for me and next season. I can’t watch the dodgers go spend money and make trades and do everything right, while my team is content with playing .500 baseball and ending up in 3rd place or worse. It’s time the Giants sit down and say “let’s trade Bryce Eldridge” they could’ve traded Marco Luciano when he first arrived with all the hype around him, instead they sat and sat and waited for him to pan out and he never did with them. Now he went to the pirates for NOTHING. Couldn’t even get anything back smh! They have a very hard time drafting great hitters, they somehow make better choices drafting pitchers. They are better off sending that 4th draft pick and Bryce Eldridge to the tigers for Skubal if he agrees to sign some sort of long term contract.
  4. Today
  5. It’s funny because we CAN get all of that this off season. But everyone including the Giants are saying they don’t have the money and that they don’t want 6-7 guys with long term contracts. They are at 5 right now. My issue is why not defer a contract or two like the dodgers did with Ohtani?? I’m at a point where if the Giants don’t make an honest attempt at signing/trading Quality level pitching and hitting, I don’t want to watch them. They will not be competitive, at this rate, with the dodgers. It’s evident that who they have now, is not gonna enough to compete for a title in today’s game. Maybe 2nd-3rd place again.
  6. This was a bummer, simply because I was looking forward to this one for about a week now, and it didn’t deliver on the level that I wanted it to. Oh well, it did its job at the end of the day.
  7. Fundadores - OUR FEB 08 - absolutely perfect. Esplendidos (presumably young) at LCDH in Saigon. Amazing flavor and flawless construction.
  8. Maduro has been offered a couple of off ramps. Luckily for Venezuela, they do have the means to generate revenue once he's gone. I think his departure will be in a casket.
  9. BRE JUN 18 Connie B.....just recently dethroned my previous COTY. The honey, cake like flavors in the first two thirds were amazing. Like chewing on a cake almost. LEM ENE 12 898.....this was my previous COTY. I was floored at how good this was and really got me excited about what my 2016 898s may turn into. LUB MAY 14 HU2.....such a good cigar. Literally no harsh edges; even at the nub. RAT OCT 20 Siglo III....Just started to really dig into these and so far they have blown away my expectations.
  10. This also goes for Canada. Border crossings into the US over the past year have nosedived and will continue to do so.
  11. Five Eyes already share information and can pre-emptively thwart entry into their respective countries. Every country should mandate retina, fingerprint, and DNA sample as a condition for entry. No country is obligated to let anyone in.
  12. I just performed some major surgery to enjoy an H. Upmann Half Corona.
  13. I thought this was already the case, to some extent. ESTA applications already ask you to share your social media profiles. Not that I ever do, except LinkedIn just to put something there. Can I add this forum-account? It's pretty inoffensive compared to my instagram lol
  14. They are looking to see if people coming into US have mal intent, hate America, plan to be a charge, etc... Plenty of reasons the State Department should deny entry.
  15. Well i dont know if maybe ill be allowed in after that last post?
  16. Like my inventory spreadsheets haha…it’s what happens when you’re a data hoarder

  18. I think your rubric is more thorough than Habanos’ own level of give a crap 😂
  19. Weird year, I can’t think of a single cigar I would have given a 94 + to…..now I am bummed 🤣. I will say on average, I didn’t smoke any duds and my average cigar experience is way up. Romeo Y Julieta Pyramide Anejado was best cuban cigar, 93 Rating or a 7 for my scoring. Casdagli Basilica Lancero, best NC, 93 Rating or 7. I smoked less than 10 cubans this year but hopefully will improve that this year. I generally rate on a 1-7 scale, George read it on a Lizards Podcast this year. It helps me root out what’s worth putting in my rotation, what’s a treat smoke and so forth I feel like the 100 point scale for most palates, simply put, has too many numbers. Most cigars seem to land in the 80 to 100 range. Let’s face it, no one is rating something a 34. 🤣
  20. I see a few cigars on CCWS that got 5 stars this year. My scoring system, developed over many years of cigar connoisseurship, goes something like this, ick, ok, mmmmmm, yea baby, OMG. MC#1, ESL '17 CORO GEL '20 BCG PUR '15 MCDE DIC '16
  21. A fresh box with a promising smell, BRM JUL 25
  22. Today I learned you and I share a love of the same plucky baseball team. You, my good sir, are a gentlemen and a scholar. David Stearns, however…that guy is really pissing me off with his Milwaukee budget in NYC.
