Race card? I think he is referring to the idea of seeing the world in absolutes, not a black or white thing in terms of race. As far as this discussion, who gives a shit. The guy's dead, let it go.

Graycliff is really excellent. That's really the only restaurant I have eaten at on Nassau. There are some really excellent (and expensive) ones at the Atlantis on P.I though. The Bahamian Club is a fantastic steakhouse and Villa D'Este has some great Italian food. My personal favorite is...

I would have forgotten what I was going to say by then :blush: :laugh:

You are right, it is an added cost. As a result, the company has to ship production overseas to another country where labor is cheaper. In theory, they will save in labor costs to make up for the tax increase. So I can see the point that the tax is forcing the company to go overseas...

:sign: I know what you wrote Gary, I was just confused as to why you wrote what you did. The line about American companies moving overseas because of taxation (this one in particular) is a cop out, as others have pointed to. All this does is allow U.S. companies who want to go overseas an...

As far as I understand SCHIP, the tax applies to both domestic and imported cigars all the same. Is that not correct? If that is the case, then how would this tax cause them to move overseas if they are still having to pay it when they import the cigars they make in the other country? Sure...

Thanks for your insights, but I truly hope this is not true. You would think that the reputation and history of both cigars would make them safe from being cut, but I guess nothing is safe (or sacred) to HSA.....

The first I have heard this and I find it very hard to believe that both the above cigars would even be discussed about being axed, let alone actually being discontinued.

Freakin' great Mike! Next time I'm in Springfield I'll let you know and check it out in person :thumbs:

Thoughts and prayers sent Brian. Hang in there bro.

Just in case anyone misunderstood my previous post to make some sort of excuse for Phishy, it was definitely not meant that way. There is no excuse for his words or lack of action in this situation. A refund was requested and it should have been promptly given, period. My post was to point...

They've been available at a couple of vendors for a week or so. I can't remember seeing any positive reviews of the new line...most seem to think they fall somewhere inbetween bad and terrible.

Just some food for thought for everybody. The Cohiba DC and Sublime are some of the most commonly counterfitted cigars out there. I've been sold some and I know of quite a few seasoned smokers who have been sold fakes from other seasoned smokers. The story is always the same, that they've...

Happy b-day Tim, hope its a great one bro :thumbs:

Went with a couple of friends to a local brewery (75th St. Brewery) a couple of days ago and had their IPA and wheat beer. IPA was great, wheat not so much. Too bad they don't bottle the IPA.... Tonight I had some Bells Two Hearted Ale which was impressive and Boulevard Saison w/ Brett. The...

Amazing pictures and post! I always love seeing travel posts like this, especially the airports and planes. Thanks for sharing the experience with us :thumbs:

And I agree for the most part John, I was just being cynical about Orbitz only being concerned with the potential sales of opening Cuba to American tourists.

I would say the change is more due to Altadis than the Cubans. Once Altadis began running the sales part of the business is when all the discontinuations and special releases picked up steam. But, I don't think the Cubans care so much that they want to try and reverse the trends of mass...

Agreed :thumbs:

I'm sure Orbitz is especially concerned about the effect opening Cuba would have on everything other than its potential sales :rolleyes: I would love for the embargo to end for personal (ie cigars) and humanitarian reasons. But, it can't be done overnight and without significant changes in...
