  1. Funny, I'm Armenian and I can't stand the stuff. Then again I'm a Scotch guy. I have sat down with some serious brandy drinkers and served them some Armenian stuff and they like it. From what I understand they've employed a lot of French people that worked in the same industry in France. I'm not a huge fan of brandy but the best Armenian brandy I've had is Nairi. It goes for about $70 a bottle in stores near me. Here's a link, I suggest you try it out. Nairi Brandy
  2. +1 Breitling. Sorry to say but Rolex to me is a default watch purchase these days. However in saying that a Rolex was my first high end watch that purchased.
  3. When I'm in a foul mood the one thing that helps me cool off is a cigar. But I just need a cigar that will wake me up or slap me out of it. Punch Punch works well so does a Bolivar Belicosos Fino.
  4. What brand/cigar do you reach for when you're pissed and you're about to let off some steam? Just because of the name I go for a Punch Punch...
  5. Funny, I was talking about this to my house keeper who used to put it the wrong way...
  6. A-MEN! If you like it, keep doing what you're doing. You need to create a baseline. Once you have the room/funds save 50% of what you buy. Soon you'll have so many that you'll notice you're buying boxes and you can't get to smoking them because you have some aged ones waiting for you.
  7. I've never had dud cigars, but there are boxes that I don't quite like. I save those as give aways when people come over to the house. Just hand them out when they get drunk. They're not regular cigar smokers, just the fact that they're smoking cubans is a big deal to them, what do they care. To them it's all in the mind. however if they're real smokers I'll pass out the good stuff, I just hate wasting the good stuff on people who don't know anything about cigars ya know...
  8. Behike 56 While I'm at it can I make all fluids taste like Johnnie Walker Blue Label?
  9. Sorry but this is a bunk issue. If you don't like your neighbor move out or protect yourself. People need to stop crying. Now if this guy is renting, that's another story, but that should be between the owner of the home and the renter, not the freakn' neighbor. If one persons relaxation is your poison you need to move immediately rather than sue in a drawn out court battle. This to me sounds like a way to chase money. As for the Indian food, sorry man but no everyone eats what you do, how do you know what you eat doesn't disappoint him? As long as it's done in their home and it's not illegal (rape, murder. exc.), it's their right.
  10. I have a friend that keeps bringing me fakes. He's done so for a long time. Recently he came to my house and we smoked some real Cohibas, and he was taken back. He asked me why the ones that we were smoking were so much better. I told him the truth about the ones that he was bringing in and we laughed about it. He now knows the difference.
  11. Yup, they taste like bitter ****.
  12. Vegas Robaina Famoso, never had one.
  13. Is there a way where we can have some fun better on the F1 season? NO MONEY is to be exchanged, only cigars.... Can we set up a system where you can place a bet and if you loose you need to send the winner a cigar via Cigar-Czar? I'm just putting this out there. Thread on hold until reviewed by Rob
  14. Happy Birthday Girl!
  15. Took the words right out of my mouth... Once you pay for something from your hard earned money and another person gets it for free your eyes will start opening up. As for the image, it's a GREAT shot, but it may as well be bobo the clown. The angle, the look, it's all spot on, could be one of the most recognizable photos of our time hands down. But in the end we must all remember, one persons freedom fighter is another persons terrorist. The problem here is that there is no correct or true definition of "freedom". If ive offended some of you im sorry it's 5am and I've been up since 2am because my one year old won't go to sleep, expect an edit around noon...
  16. I just had one yesterday and I stopped smoking it half way it was so bad. It tasted like a bitter branch filled with Jalapeno seeds! My friend kept telling me that it would get better and I kept giving it a chance until the half way point. I just had to put it down. Could be one of the worst cigars I've ever had, I wouldn't even pass this out as a gag gift!
  17. Just got pissed off about some work issues so I came up with an evil way to spend money if I won this mystical lotto... I would replace the walkway to the front of my office (40ft long) with a treadmill that had variable speed control on my desk. As people walked to my office to waste time I would activate it and watch them and smile.
  18. Step 1 Call all my friends And family and tell them my dad is sick and I need some money to get him well and ask for whatever they can give, $20 would even help. Who ever gives me even a penny for help gets $25k Step 2 Buy rental property and hire a management group to run them. Wire the income to multiple accounts that are titled after the item I'm saving up for. For example: beach house in France, Mclaren f1, trip around the world. If I don't save up that amount in my lifetime I hope it will accumulate and happen in my Childs lifetime. Step 3 Keep doing what I'm doing now cause I love it
  19. Woops just realized you're not in the same country... soo... I'll pay for and send you a cigar via Cigar-Czar
  20. Interesting topic. Here's what I base purchases off of.. 1. Ring Gauge - I'm a 48+ size. I know a lot of people here are long and skinny folks, sorry. 2. Length - I don't care, I figure length only comes in play when I have to consider the amount of time I have to enjoy a cigar. 3. Brand - Read this forum, you'll notice who you agree and disagree with very quickly. Then based off of who you agree with try what they are trying. Maybe even send them a PM and see what they like. 4. QTY - Buy samplers, then if you like what you smoked buy a box. 5. Notes - Take notes. Find flavors that you like or don't like and build off of that. I have an iphone with a notes app. I have pages of notes on there that I refer to each time I want a smoke. 6. Mood - In my opinion you need to have mood cigars. These are cigars that you want to either mourn with or celebrate with. These are either strong happy notes (flavors that you itch for, mine are coffee, toffee, dried fruit), or notes that put you into thought (mine are spice, nutmeg, pepper) 7. gamble - Many times a box of 25 will only produce 15 good cigars. that's okay, that's part of the fun. If you won every time you put your money on black it would get boring after a while... okay bad example... In the end cigars are not for the struggling. I hate to sound like a prick, but the facts are the facts. However you mentioned that you're a student, that means you're busting your ass to become something. And there's no better way to reward yourself after busting your ass than to treat yourself to something you like. So I'm going to end this long winded post on a challenge. 1. What type of student are you? 2. Where are you located? 3. Do you have a test or project due soon? If you're in the same country as I am (for shipping reasons) and you get an "A" or 90% and above on your next project and you can prove it to me (scan results as a response to this post). I'll send you a celebration cigar. Deal?
  21. I got 4 boxes of these for Christmas this past year. I jus used them for the first time a few weeks ago. They're cool to look at and have but as stated they don't work too well. Also they don't recommend it for a hefty glass. Meaning you should only fill the glass until the liquor covers the stones. Because I did get so many it is a conversation piece when a few friends come over because I have enough for them. But each box comes with 9 cubes, and you need about 3-4 cubes per glass. And thy don't last long at all, not that they melt away but they just don't keep the fluids cool long.
  22. Damn you! My wife just got pissed off and almost kicked me out of bed because I was laughing so hard!

  25. Sorry but computers are female. Because when they get old the owners dump them for a newer model. I just hope my wife doesn't see this post
