Well folks, I'm out. :angry: I have to go to St Louis for two weeks and traveling to KC, then back, then traveling to St Louis is too many miles for my poor bones. However... I will be driving through KC Sunday and will be stopping in on my way through. So if any of you are inclined I should...

At this point I am planning on coming. It is still sort of up in the air though, as there are some personal issues I am dealing with. If I do go, I will likely be bringing my father.

LOL! :laugh:

Wow! Five hours and no takers... hard to believe! Somebody better jump on this before I do :cool:

Ask and ye shall receive matey!

You better watch it, Wilkey is liable to reinstate his "Angry Yellow Brutha" moniker :laugh:

Well well well... Mr. Peat tried to sneak one in on me. Rat bastage! It would have been full scale annihilation, but for the horrid heat and humidity out there today. Lucky for me and the postman :D To protect you from any law enforcement investigation, I will destroy the evidence :sign...

I scored a 125... 104 on liquor though, thanks to AVB! 50 on wine, 80 on beer. Cool test, not I am going to have to do a little research and see if I can't get that score up :) edit to include the wine and beer scores.

How the hell did I miss this?!? So which is better? The Moontrance? or the (not so) Happy Kuban? I have actually smoked a Moontrance myself, it was uh... different to say the least. It reminded me of fruit and coconut. It was not a wholly horrible experience, but not one I will repeat. The...

Nice to put some faces to the names! Looks like I missed a very nice gathering, maybe next year! I got it to work with firefox just fine...

This thread may shed some light on the subject.

Now there is an idea worth considering! I have not been extremely impressed with the Cigar Oasis I have (not the XL plus version). I switched out to beads long ago. BUT, beads in an Oasis, might just work!

I like the rough dijon mustard, not the smooth paste type, but the kind with identifiable mustard seeds. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm <smacks lips>

Coincidently I smoke one of these yesterday as well. My experience was profoundly different however, as I enjoyed the cigar very much. I had not smoked any Padrons since the Padron event on KC earlier this year. That may have influenced my judgment... Just goes to prove "different strokes...

I saw Rachel Ray (Food Network)feature these on one of her shows the other day.

Loren, congrats. I'll fire up an Opus and a few fingers of Glenfiddich Solara Reserve. (Ok, it was a bad day and I am just looking for an excuse :))

I wonder if the percentage is the amount of moisture in the nitrogen. I'm not sure I buy the nitrogen not leaking out thing, nitrogen has lower molecular number than oxygen, and therefore should be less dense than just plain air. The only advantage I can see is that you might have slightly...

You're welcome :cool: I was a lucky recipient recently so I really wasn't going to ask, just thought I would post to make you squirm a little. Enjoy the smokes, ya lucky bastage!

Today I smoked a Camacho Liberty (Amendment XII). I had intended to smoke this the fourth of July, but forgot about it. It was not a bad smoke, I was quite surprised actually. I have not enjoyed most Camacho's I have tried. The wrapper was nice, dark and oily. The smoke was voluminous, slightly...
