  1. FWIW, the US produces and can produce NG domestically. It's the export not the import and short term supply that drives consumer price (methinks).
  2. Ouch, a 15%-20% increase? One generally following standard inflation followed by another twice as much? That's an unbelievable demand-killing whack, I would think.
  3. I predict no substantial effect. I think that as agricultural exporting countries cave, non-caving cigar-producing countries will have to compete at the register by eating the tariffs.
  4. That's the same look my mom gave me when she opened my grade school report cards.
  5. I had some issue with a bundle of the Trintys (tunneling) and let the boys know. They were on it and took care of me. Only bundle out of many that had problems. And I have no doubt they want to know of construction issues to correct. p.s. I'm a fan of Cananazos. Never had a problem.
  6. I knocked back a couple of these in March too. Top notch.
  7. I have a box of RASS - OER MAY 21. They're incredible. Every single one. Hard as hell to describe, but now I know it's "LSD trip." That's what it is. I may have landed the same blotter, found in the bottom of a long-forgotten drawer at Hunter S. Thompson's place.
  8. Agreed. Very early on at the launches, No. 9 and T252 were incredible. I had a chance to meet with Rocky, and even had agreed they were among the best in his humidor. That was years ago. Since then, I can't say much about any of the Drews. They're okay, but the glory-days have passed. Acid is a crime against humanity.
  9. A man I admire. Me.
  10. I've enjoyed my discussions with Mike in the past, and enjoyed this. Great American. Love the format. Good stuff. Look forward to jawing with you Mike, and the cadre of other knuckleheads, when we have the chance to reconvene.
  11. Disagree on the "waiting" and "resting" part. I believe it's essential. ROTT off the truck is a mistake IMO. Not that you can't and maybe find them very good. In my experience though, it's usually a waste of a good cigar not let them rest and acclimate before having at it.
  12. The manufactured pretentiousness is just incredible. But entertaining.
  13. Yup. Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
