Brian - your generosity lives on. Thank you for the example in my my life. Miss ya!

A 3 way Greg!? and you don't even give me a heads up?!? (no pun intended) WTF? Jake - I'm busy most of Sat evening, but Sun for the game at 2Bros might be good. I might not be too late Sat, It's not like I have a 3 way or anything to attend. ;)

Yes I've seen this happen when someone overworks a cigar. Probably a bit too much tar & nicotine for your system mixed with the huffing & puffing. Sometimes if it's just a nicotine "OD" then a bit of sugar helps, keep some candies close by or drink a sweet beverage with your smokes till you...

Seems to have gone the way of the 3 Martini Lunch. Mostly frowned upon in the Banking/Finance industry, although I think some must think the taxpayers are drunk & stupid. I have a collection of bartending books, several from the 1950's that are very cool and talk about mixing drinks at work. BTW...

Mine is simple - a big old fashioned wake where my ENTIRE stash will be offered. Caveat is ALL cigars must be smoked by the end of the wake, nothing to be esent out or saved. That means y'all are invited AND have a vested interest in my demise. ;) BTW - Matt's in charge of this part of my...

Finally we get PICTURES! Very well done, kudos to the whole family. As I've said before, you are one lucky guy!! :D PS - I'll be over around 7:30! :0 :cool:

They'd better be worth the current $19.50 price! :whistling:

Congratulations Andrew & to the entire Family!! :D

Great to have shared a smoke with you Matt. :D We'll do it again soon! Sorry Nick, it was a hectic day. ???

I had to do a triple take on this post - I am shocked, stunned, & saddened. When I first read the post I was speachless, but then I began reading the posts and had to checkle at the memory of Brian tell us all to smoke our good stuff. I would live to smike one of the special cigars gifted by...

DFW is ON Matt! I'll call & set it up for us CPers in the area.

Happy Thanksgiving all around! :)

Only if they're in a glass top box. That way we can see what we're getting. I have an ageing question,,,, I just bought some Padrone 1926s. So how do they keep them fresh for 82 years? I used kitty litter in my Humidore tower but the F-ing cat keeps leaving the door open. What should I do...

If memory serves correctly, the boxes do not indicate OR or any specific release date, they are Shipping Boxes only. ORs were then placed in slide top boxes by the "wholesalers" or retailers. I honestly don't remember if the ORs were ever shipped in Shipping Boxes or if that was 2nd year...

Congrats! Get it in writing first, before you turn down the other position. As for the smoking waters... I hear it is still dangerous out there. Dunuh Dunuh!

No it's because I was conducting Scotch research late at night. :p

Not sure what's up with that. [politely] Allen is mistaken. I purchased Anejo's and Hemis last season there. He might be holding out or he's out of the loop. Talk with Jay (altercall), he's a member there. BTW - I detest the BS secrecy some retailers employ this time of year. I'm not just...

Welcome back & congrats on the acceptance to B-School at the Big C. :) That CFA L1 is a real bear, but it makes 2 & 3 easier, so I've heard! ;)

That is one amazing day Gary! :D Sounds like you enjoyed each & every moment, as it should be. ;)
