Parents are little late to the game sending their kids to coding school. Vocational school will give them an opportunity at a larger and steady paycheck. With the Indian IT firms, none of them have ever innovated. How many will be around on that list in 5-10 years?

Yeah, I know. My friends call me Captain Obvious.

Coloniales and too many highballs to count.

Like may countries in Asia, they have limited interest in targeting scammers (or IP thieves for that matter) as long as they steal from Westerners. Chen’s empire targeted Chinese citizens both for stealing and as slave labor.

Had been hearing too many people say this is the best smoke they've had in a while.

You don't say? https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/hr-policies-trends/top-it-firms-add-just-17-staff-in-nine-months-hiring-nearly-freezes/articleshow/126606856.cms Synopsis India's top IT companies saw a dramatic hiring slowdown, adding only 17 net employees in nine months, a stark contrast to last year's 17,764. This shift, driven by tighter demand and AI adoption, is reshaping the industry. TCS alone shed over 25,000 staff, signaling a move away from traditional growth models towards efficiency and productivity.

It's not as bad as most say imo, but it was totally unnecessary, a third part could have never lived up to the first two movies.

They're equals to me.

Funny thing - when that came out I thought to myself - now I can watch the full trilogy, how cool. Then I saw how most everyone hated part three and that derailed my enthusiasm. Still I know the first two are must see so I will watch them soon - finally!

They’ve got me right where they want me.

You can skip The Godfather 3 fwiw...

That’s my plan. Or possibly an A.

I assume that Dr Evil will have crunched the numbers in the price department!

The long rumored "BHK59"/"Atabey"/Fat Pyramid from Cohiba will finally be released in 2026 as a 60 Aniversario Edición Limitada. Dimensions remain the same at 59 x 144mm (5⅝″). Its commercial name will be Excelentes. Its factory name will be - very appropriately - Mitos, or 'myth' in Spanish. Unique to this cigar, the cigar features no ligero - all medio tiempo. It was originally designed as a new cigar for the BHK line, but Habanos ended up holding it for this year. Here's a link link to 2024's thread with photos and more details:

I'm working my way through an ORB Sep 22 box that's hitting the spot. They looked underwhelming when they arrived, no sheen, not bad but nothing alluring. Smoking great. I've not smoked tons of D4's but these made me understand the love people have for them.

We are so sorry to hear this Rob, we thought you and Di were a match made in heaven. Now we have to decide which one of you to stick with…… You have cigars but Di is so much nicer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ahhhh the car horn in the background... makes me miss Central America 😂

Do yourself a favor and watch them. Light a double Corona and enjoy.

I’m almost embarrassed to say I have not watched these films. Can’t exactly explain why I haven’t but I will soon. Great poll!

Went with number 1, don't make me choose, with Brando's performance being an all time favorite.

I agree with Deeg, this was easy and its Part 2.

God I'm right there with you brother. I've got maybe a bottom row left of a PSP box that I keep checking in on. They just never scratch the itch for me; just sort of 'meh' every time. Maybe a dry box is what I need. I love the E2s and P2s and would love to have similar flavors in a robusto format. This is what I've done as well, especially if I'm pulling something from one of my tuppers that runs 65/66. I've had sticks in there for half a day to just under a week; never have I thought 'man I dry boxed this too long'

II. That rare sequel that’s clearly better than the original.

Our Federal gov't does a pretty good job of identifying issues abroad for Canadian travelers. Cuba usually doesn't get too many flags as it is probably one of the safest Caribbean destinations. These warnings echo the dire situation the locals are in. “Exercise a high degree of caution in Cuba due to shortages of necessities, including food, water, medicine, electricity, and fuel, which can also affect resorts,” reads the update. As much as I'd love to visit and catch up with friends, I just wouldn't feel good about partying there while the locals, who've always had it kinda rough, have it even worse. “Food shortages or food spoilage, as a result of power outages and fuel shortages, can occur even in restaurants and hotels,” Link to official travel advisory. https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/cuba (FWIW, I check every time I go to Cuba. The list of issues has NEVER been this long.) Editorialized article. https://dailyhive.com/canada/canada-travel-advisory-cuba-jan-2026
