Belated Birthday wishes to you, sir.

After all the fires SoCal has, I can't understand how there is anything left to burn. Hopefully you all stay safe.

Arguing with someone through an online translator, that's a new one to me. Andros, I think you can quickly resolve this issue & endear yourself to many a respected member of this forum by sending a bundle of La Palmas to everyone who you think is being "discriminatory" towards you.

These were from a couple emails I received from Heartfelt Industries & CRA (no connection to either). I apologize for the redundancy as I realize many of you here likely received these same emails, though I thought it worth passing along to those who did not. After S-Chip decimated...

Thank you!

Are these all going to be at the North store?

I have a Toro & Salomon from the aforementioned sampler that I have yet to light. I recommend reading the review referenced by Q The Cop, it's rather mouthwatering. Actually, I don't think I've read a bad review of them. I should have picked up the offering in the Joe Jam last week that had 5...

Thank you for the tip. 30 seconds or so, that sounds about right...though I just can't help it when I'm enjoying a cigar. I'll see if I can work on that. Often it seems as though I smoke too slowly & have to relight from time to time (humidor @ 65%). But I think the dryboxing is helping...
