Hey Newbs! This was created for you. :thumbs: If you like it, help out your fellow Newbies and keep it topped. :)

I've heard that they won't even seat you if you have less than 3 or 4 people. Instead of having a sure thing of two people patronizing their establishment buying food and drink, they would rather wait for 3-4 people to show and run the risk of seating no one at those tables. That is a pretty...

Start fresh! Buy a new Tupperdor. But clean it very thoroughly. And open it at least once a week for a few minutes to allow an exchange of fresh air.

That's an understatement if I ever saw one. What a gig to be the official photographer for the Flavourettes. ;)

Very Impressive! :thumbs:

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this which is why I have been absent of late from this thread. I understand all of the points that have been raised. It boils down to the principles that each of us believe in. Principles are high on my list as well. I respect that everyone has their...

I'm glad you were able to get one. We'll see you there! :D

I really enjoy the Punch Gran Puro. It is my favorite of the Punch lines.

Interesting reading. You know it is said that there are two sides to every story. I have now heard the other side and it does shed some light...finally, on the basis of your claims. I have been there for 4 years and I am honestly not aware of any of the events that you have described. I am...

Those are the "VIH" tickets. VIH = Very Important Herfer I think. There was a limited number of these. They sold out in about 4-5 days.

I hope to see some of you there. :D

Sorry Steve, I should have taken out your part of the quote. As far as CW being on the Scumbag List, the issues people have with CW are in question. I have been on several boards of varying types. I have discovered that when someone has a gripe or an ax to grind with a BB, it is usually...

Thank You Gentlemen. No matter how subjective it may be, any suggestions are very much appreciated as they provide information that I did not have prior to posting the question.

You are prejudiced against all members of a bulletin board for something they have no control over? That makes no sense at all. That's similar to not liking someone for the car they drive because you don't like that car. Or not liking someone for the football team they root for. Hold the...

On Friday my local cigar shop, Titan Cigar will be hosting a Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting / Cigar Pairing Event. However, the owner has no idea what cigars to use for suggested pairings. There will be 5 lines of liqour involved. These will be the Macallan 12 and 18 year old and...

Good questions. To be fair to all contestants, whether I like an individual or not is not at issue. The jury is still out on some of you. Others have been found "guilty". What someone else writes about whether or not someone is disqualified in this contest is irrelevant. If someone wishes...

I did mean what I wrote. But I wrote a poor explanation as to what I meant. AVB said it much better than I did.

Uh, no Mark. It doesn't help. But if you were to send me one of each for lonnnnnnnnnnnng loan for the purpose of conducting a close examination and series of QA and QC assessments, I might change my mind. :D
