Totally get all of this and think it makes a lot of sense for someone who does drink alcohol. For me, it’s worth it because I don’t drink at all and had been craving something of that quality. They make champagne and then take the alcohol out, which I’m sure makes it as expensive as it is. But yeah, if I drank alcohol, I wouldn’t buy this. But I don’t. So I do

That’ll do

Love the green.

Absolutely, I'm into everything from - proper Swiss watches like Mondaine (love their Stop2Go as a quartz option, the gimmick is the second hand completes a rotation in 58 seconds, freezes for 2 seconds, during which the minute hand moves, like Swiss railway clocks do if you've ever seen them irl) - proper-value Japanese automatics like Seiko - the odd watch from Aliexpress (like Sugess), they actually do have some great original and homage-watches with honestly amazing construction for the price. Only downside is getting a Chinese movement repaired if you drop them (speaking from experience) so you better know what movement it is and make sure you can source the parts for the watchmaker. - and lately I've been loving Spinnaker. Even their homages always have an original twist. Construction is definitely great and their designs are A-plus.

A few recents.

I'm sure he's a ... seasoned pro .... I hope Kirby reads the forum too

Oh I'm more than happy to be patient with these!

Love his content, hate his content, indifferent to his content. He is a lovely guy who speaks very highly of FOH and it's legacy in the cigar world. .....he may of course have just been polite! Seriously, some great discussions. He made it to my long lunch list. I look forward to catching up agian.

@El Presidente I sincerely hope you forwarded onto Jasim our sincerest forum sentiments...

You guys shine up very nicely. 😁

What a magnificent Phoenicia event. The launch of the Punch Princessa was on a scale that I haven't witnessed before. I have been to plenty of Habanos Gala dinners and global releases, but this was on another level entirely. I fly back tomorrow evening and will give my thoughts then. God knows I will have plenty of time on the plane 20251206_205644.mp4 VID-20251206-WA0028.mp4

Instructions unclear, attempted again yesterday and burnt my eyes and nose. 😂

Are there a lot of people who enjoy this size? I am personally not one of them. I’ve smoked a handful of the Late Hour and find myself gravitating more towards the WSC line and Grand Cru (Robusto is great).

Virtually impossible. I know someone that can get in anywhere, but I try to spread out the favors to once every 2 or 3 years. I don't want to be one of those people who always asks.

My youngest son lives in Manhattan and said that restaraunt is hard to get into at times

Some of the other things we ate. Everything was fantastic. Ceasar Salad with "everything bagel croutons" and fried cream cheese balls.. 5 cheese pizza rolls.. Waygu French Dip, Ribeye, Chicken Paillard.. Samoa Sunday and Gourmet McDonalds Apple Pie... Coconut Negroni Sour Cream and Onion Martini...

Same here. I love the aroma when peeling an orange, and I dig the flavour of the fruit - yet I avoid to let the popping oils sputter into my eyes. 😂

And in case you were wondering. It's not. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/01/die-hard-not-christmas-movie-home-alone

Goodness knows what they’ll do next summer. Horrible situation indeed.

There’s a Lewinsky joke in there somewhere.. where is @NSXCIGAR when you need him! Seriously, hope all is well NSX!

Price doesn’t sound bad with what we are paying for everything else today. Would love to grab a box and see how they age.

Curious to see what you think about that one... Has anyone here already smoked it ?
