Here is my collection for home/cigar defense... For handguns I've got a few GLOCKS, a couple of Ruger DA revolvers, a Volquartsen MKII and my first semi-auto a SIG P230. I love SIGs, but only the carbon slide models. They balance better in my hand. I just got an HK P7M8 that I'm not sure I want...

I smoke Cigars because... 1. It's a ritual that I learned from my father. He learned it from his father who learned it from his father... 2. I find a good cigar to be relaxing. Much in the same way I find a glass of good wine or bit of spirit relaxing. 3. A cigar can get me through most...

In this instance "5 ton" is a rating of cooling capacity. Depending on model, brand and type of the unit in question the weight could range around 200 pounds. That's not resourceful, that's a smash and grab job. Have you had any work done recently? Sorry to hear about your troubles. It could...

...Now that the place has been outed. Did you check out the spa when you were there. I had one of the best massages of my life in that place. I generally don't like massages or spas but my wife makes me go...I tell the person that they can apply as much pressure as they want, and that "I've...

They changed from Times New Roman/Georgia to Arial (if I remember my fonts) on my end, but they are back to normal now.

Is that the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point? I try to go out to the Surf and Sand once a year. I haven't made it yet this year. I'm jealous. edit: Never mind...I knew I remembered that fence from somewhere...That is NOT the Ritz.

I've had a couple...they were not on my dime. They were casino comps. At one time most of these cigars went to casinos. I do not know if this is still the case. These are occasionally on one of the cigar auction sites. They have been going for the high $100s, if my memory serves me correctly...

What's this "Ecological Footprint" "value" that they have thrown into the "calculation". Funny if it weren't for the consumption by the countries with low EF numbers, I bet the "Life Satisfaction" numbers would be much lower in a great deal of those other countries...

I would like to say thank you to everyone who participated. As for my share in this, I can only say that it was not enough. I realize that I enjoy a life, which is available to me only because other men and women put on a uniform...place a flag (our flag) on their shoulder and stand in harms...

It looks like I just had a bad stick. I've since had 3 from the box myself and a few were had by friends. The resounding response was positive. And now back to your regularly scheduled....

I haven't really experienced many AF quality control issues over the years, but I am not a high quantity consumer. I'm glad to have some feedback leading towards the positive. I did change toothpaste, so that may be the culprit. As far as keeping an 858 three years goes... patience and keeping...

I just had an AF 858 Maduro that was about 3 years old and it was definitely sick. During its lifetime it was always stored and handled properly. It spent most of its life in my private locker at a well reputed shop. I've had several from the box with no complaints, but this one... The cigar...

Good stuff abounds...Thanks all.

Sorry Capt., but my guess is $.37. That's 37 cents.

:blush:...enjoy!
