Happy Birthday!

Happy Bday, Hamlet!

John. I get the science. But just why? No

The first two books are fantastic. Can't wait for his take on a trip around the US.

Timely post! I just inventoried my humidors. I pushed the large red alarm button right after. I might not make it to retirement with my CCs..

This really is a breath of fresh air given all the cost increases and over regulation sweeping the cigar industry.

Why stop at halves? Maybe thirds or quarters to get really kinky. 😵‍💫

Those are thr best of the Caldwells I have smoked so far, with LLTK Mad Mofo a close second. Wasn't a fan of the Eastern Standard as much but I still thought it was decent enough.

Just buy smaller cigars. Sheesh. Odd occasion you’ve just lit a cigar and someone or thing stops the smoke, cut it off above the burn line a fair bit. Up to 45mins to an hr, relighting the cigar (with a purge) shouldn’t provide any issues. in my experience longer time equals a bitter and harsh time.

Blue Jays making a lot of good moves. Apparently coming close wasn’t enough and they are going all in now while they are close. I hope they can sign Bo.

ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! 😝

This is pretty much every country in the world haha. Visiting a country is a privilege, not a right. There should be *some* type of regulations/checks so things such as terrorists don't have free rein. Kind of common sense, to a point.

Yeah and that’s pretty sad for Posey, these owners just want to profit. Giants are striking out on arms for their bullpen. Not sure how it’s gonna work for them.

Sad he didn’t come back with the Giants but I respect him getting paid. Best of luck!

Report: Blue Jays land Tyler Rogers on 3-year, $37M deal https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3426037 I thought they would have waited to see who has the hot hand by the deadline. Roger's be printing money for the Jays. Thoughts on this one from Mets and Giants fans? Cheers

Happy birthday!

I am to a hundred percent with you on that there! Rarely have I been disappointed in a tubo in a way I have been in non-tubed packaging. I’d go so far to even say, for some, the A/T-version is the consistently better cigar. But, hey, surely as anecdotal as El Prez’ narrative (sorry Rob, have to challenge you there 😄). So or so - and perhaps all purely by chance - following my personal experience I am particularly searching out certain cigars in tubo. Among those are, and stocked up even very recently on A/Ts of: RyJ Churchills, Sig 2 and 3, CORO (yes I did…), D5, D4, E2, Epicure Especial (dream cigars! and still fairly fair priced in the tubed version), Mag46. To the original question: I’ve never witnessed a ring damage such as in the OP in a tubed cigar, and I am fairly certain that this is deriving from a second-hand manipulation (cigars are wrapped in the cedar before slipping them into the tube - protection of the wrapper, that’s the whole idea of the cedar sleeve there). Cuba may be Cuba, still not everything we get to see must have its origin there. I’ve seen my fair share of cut-open wrappers from shop personnel or even importers damaging when cutting seals, or swapping cigars erroneously. Happens.

This is an exceptionally awful one indeed. He has 8 of them and is giving them to me along with a humidor that I actually want and am paying for. Trying to ask where TF he got these things. 😆 I'm going to keep them around for educational and hilarity value. Also going to show him some real ones and let him smoke one so he doesn't get rooked like that again. He said he paid $10 each, which is about $9.75 more than they are worth. Might cut one open to see how much sawdust is in it. 😅

Yikes. I've always wondered where one would find a fake like this. I've never seen one in the wild. Just curious where they circulate.

Sancho Panza Eslavo Edición Regional Serbia 2014. Absolutely stunning. A wonderful weekend to you all.

Picked up two boxes of the Millennium Piramides.

Trying to explain to someone that they got rooked. How many things wrong do you see here? Sorry for the potato camera, this is the best of what he sent. Should be pretty obvious even at potato resolution.

Thank You Nick @wathabanos! Just received mine today and it's beautiful!

Thankyou John. Thankyou 😀
