nice link Moki. :thumbs: 4A

That sounds like a good experiment. I will definitely try that. On the Padron Annis some are actually being made in Honduras from what I am reading on the box, though the company is Nicarguan. So I suspect you're specifying an "hecho en Nicargua" PAM '64 [?] 4A

Good post MattR. The parse above is probably where I am at sort of...because "I have not conditioned myself to do so", as you stated. I tend to mix up the variety when I'm abroad. Now if I could bring home about 10 boxes of each sample on each trip, then I might get to the condition that you...

Well I guess that's what the FOGs are supposed to tell us once we are deemed as "socially acceptable joiners/subordinates", etc. I'm not expecting that anytime in this lifetime. ;) Or if one has smoked enough of the real thing, then one should know, but I'm not sure I'm smart enough in that...

Cool! A KL connection. Just as I was about to give up on hanging around these boards. [slight thread jack] I really like KL, and Malaysia as a whole. Some of the gigs I do are on Borneo [Miri, Sarawak], which is also nice, but there is no LCDH there, so if I do a Miri gig I stop over in KL...

MattR, You are absolutely correct. Not only are there fakes, but there are even companies that say they are importing in the leaf from Cuba, rolling it there in Costa Rica, and then selling them as "almost Cuban". A lot of these operations are run by Americans and Canadians [CR is a haven for...

I believe I have had zero fakes. But I am probably "not smart enough" to tell the difference. 4A

Yikes! :0

Even though that is coming from my nemesis, I must say that is very good advice. As an example, earlier this week while visiting Dallas, I gave a 1-day free consultation to a prospective client. They had a problem that needed to be solved right away. My visit was one of these "give-aways"...

Dave, I am a 1-man business also, though I do use subs. I have read your response about the budget thing, and not using a professional to do the layout. I think you will be okay with that. However, based on personal experience, I would delete the personal photograph of yourself in the ad...

For you Texans and would-be visitors: I'm in Dallas, yesterday and today. As most of you know, Dallas mayor, Laura "Nazi" Miller has banned smoking in restaurants/bars, etc. in Dallas. Last night I went to one of my favorite steakhouses here in Dallas. I asked if they had closed the cigar...

Nice pics Moki. I am down to my last two torpedos. Time to get a new box. I prefer the pyramid size, but not always available. As for the '26s, I get 'em when I can. 4A

I prefer "Clyde" and not "Clyde". :D 4A

Toaster I hope you feel better. I enjoyed your story, only because it was very similar to mine. Yes, I thought I had eaten too much on Thanksgiving about 11 years ago, and also told my wife I was okay. Make sure you stay in bed, and hopefully you won't get those pesky fevers that come and go...

Hmmm. Nice to know that trouble can start without me. :D Happy Birthday President Reagan! Favorite Reagan Quote: "Speak softly and carry an armored tank division I always say". ;)

Try Chopin. It is a potato vodka from Poland.

Saw Michael Schumacher take the KL F1 a few years back. Awesome driver. Nice seat at the circuit looking into team F and team McL pits. I haven't kept up with CART here in the U.S., but may start this year. You might want to try the magazine Racecar Engineering. Covers all types. Cheers, 4A

Welcome, but more important congrats on picking mechanical engineering as your major, it will marry nicely with your car hobby even if you don't go into the auto-industry. My dad and uncle, who were both machinists, and both tool & dye makers, sold me on engineering. I am glad they did...

Uh, okay. Amen! Profile gone. Lurking here before joining indicated that you folks wanted background knowledge on new posters, i.e, knowledge before trading, etc. Well a few found here it useful and contacted me right away. Guess everyone is different. Here me "roar" ;) Watch my thumb...

I've got a box that has come back to me three times. It was chasing an Army buddy that was displacing from Kuwait, to Baghdad, and now is back home in the U.S. The box is sitting under my desk and has stuff in it for the troops to pass around to troops, like DVDs and CDs. There is also some...
