Currently plowing through "One Palestine, Complete," by Tom Segev. Very readable history about the British Mandate from WWI through 1948. Also "Rabbi Jesus," by Bruce Chilton, who taught at my alma mater (never had a class with him, though I did study Arabic with his son!) I'm terrible at...

As I often enjoy the combination of a cigar, nice booze and a good book, I have a habit of using the bands as bookmarks. By the time I'm done with a fat volume, there might be half a dozen bands peeking from the pages. A couple of weeks ago I forgot myself and returned a library book full of...

PSD4, along with some jet lag. Smoked it in the Toronto airport and barely swam onto the plane...

Gentlemen (and Wilkey especially), I am in respectful awe of the advice you have given me. I particularly appreciate the Wilkey approach, not least because it enables me to smoke more of 'em! :thumbs: Long-term storage stock... yep. That would be nice. So would some extra cash to acquire...

So when the rules of a pass say "Premium for Premium," it's basically a reiteration of "Value for Value and Rarity for Rarity"? Seems a little redundant in that case. I really don't mean to be snarky or obtuse here, I'm just trying to figure things out... I too had considered words like...

That's funny--I recently agreed to swap a friend an AF Churchill for a Dogfish Head 120. I hear it's powerful stuff...

Hey guys, I have a newbie question. As I read through old passes, I've been seeing a lot of the terms "premium" and "super-premium." I certainly understand that some cigars are rarer and more valuable than others, but it often seems as though there's a more specific definition for each of...
