Am glad these things are still in the minds of younger men, not just my own. My family, like most Brits, were involved in a lot of the war effort, when not being bombed. One of my living great uncles was one of those evacuated at Dunkirk. I've done a few tours as a kid, but am aiming to...

If you buy the retail Vista Ultimate it comes with both the x64 and 32-bit disks which is handy. I suspect you'll be buying a decent manufacturer of PSUs considering what you've stated, but remember it's the supplied current on the PSU rails that is essential reading, not simply the wattage...

Yeh you don't see too many cigar smokers out in the wild tbh.

No it's two US dollars to one of our pounds. Depends what Cohiba's you're looking at - the robustos in the 2nd pic are £20.99 which is $40... But yeh, nice to pick up one or two. Thing is, I find it more expensive in my mind to buy one or two at individual prices than a whole box - just seems...

As requested Brian, I got some pics of my Father's mini crop - but he's already turned it into ready-to-be-rolled tobacco! :) Here's his humidor with the last of the crop. He stuck one in a roll-up for me - tasted lovely, very creamy like a café creme or like those Havana minis you get -...

You can never guess what - after talking to the owner, she said there's now a big offering down the road too. 5 mins walk and I find this: So I bought a few, and a new bottle of 7 year old rum: Just amazed whats popping up so local at the moment.

Never seen that kind of end before, bit of a noob, quite common?

Only a tiny haul but all from pocket change, which was nice. About $60 worth. They have them in an a large plastic container, which had ceder-wood inlays on the base. Seeing as they're all tubed, I suspect they can get away with it. Next time I'm in, I'll grab a pic. Was a surprise to say...

I cannot believe it when I walked into get a bag of ice in the off-license*, literally NEXT DOOR to my flats**, this morning. Havanas! Romeo y Julietas, Upmans, Bolivars, (and I think I saw Diplomaticos, but can't remember). Ok so they're fairly expensive - £9.50 ($18ish USD) for a tubed Romeo...

I don't follow soccer. But I do follow football :whistling: Liverpool are also my team, though I live about 5 hours drive from them - which is an eternity for our small island. Not sure why the chap above thinks it's boring to watch - baseball is an absolute incredible bore to me, I...

Last drop of the seven-year aged Havana Club I brought back from the ISOM a few months back :(

Posted a few before: Album

For what it's worth I thought I'd put my two pennies in, though it'll only confirm the opinions above. I'm thoroughly fed-up with Vista, so I've moved too. You can see a rant I wrote up here where you see I've changed my laptop (and now phone) OS to Apple. I like OSX, and if you're not...

All good, reminds me of my trip in June - hopefully going back in Sep with a non-cigar smoking friend - which allows me a 100 cigar import back into the UK :D I did the same factory, kinda horrific to see them working in 100degree heat without windows etc and making expensive cigars - of which...

If it wasn't such a hassle getting them over to you I would. Er that and me being broke ;) Off to Cuba again soon though...touch wood.

Me too - perfect and damn quick. And I live in the UK! Top work. No duty to be paid either, for a change. (Recently got a $100 duty for cigars damnit)

Holy smoke Dave that is fecking awesome. Unforunately I can't currently afford one of your regular ashtrays (once you add P&P to the UK) due to some recent cigar buying activity, but that is just truly tremendous. Stunning.

Already have, and not blaming 'em just wanting to know more :) From what I've googled (e.g. http://www.vitolas.net/displayimage.php?album=19&pos=4), looks like an old pre-2003 style. Suits me fine! Thanks for the advice guys.

'Cohiba' isn't embossed either, and its black. Album updated: Linky
