    "A day in the sun"

    I don't want to down-grade anyone's puts (don't worry -- I'll put in something nice. Just as soon as I sort through my stash and figure out what's sun-grown and what isn't...) But I have a new Cigar Price Checker that I've been working on, and it shows these at Atlantic Cigars for ~$4.38...

    "A day in the sun"

    Ok, box got here tonight. Also, my own pass came home :) Ok, figuring out my takes was a no-brainer (the baggie marked "For Misc and Misc Only" ;)), give me a day or so to figure out my puts. It's my birthday this weekend, and we're having a boatload of people over tomorrow (Friday), so I...

    The 'I'm home and need some fun' Pass

    You know, I had this idea for a liar's pass* (soon!), but I think it might be too much of a challenge to top some of the tall-tales that happen when ol' Tone runs a pass! Well, I guess we'll just have to see what happens, eh? --- * the idea is that people would post "got it" and "sent it"...

    Do you like your cigars like you like your women?

    Having never been in a pass doesn't determine if we're full -- we're far from full! Anyone who can read & follow directions is welcome in this pass. You're off to a good start! :) (...But *DO* feel free to make use of the time while you're waiting for the pass to start to introduce yourself...

    Like cigars? Know Java? Bored?

    I've got a new web-based Cigar Price Checker that's in public testing, now. It seems to work fairly well, although it's got a few minor bugs and some cosmetic problems. Its BIGGEST problem is that it only has site-crawlers for a few vendors. If you know Java, they're actually very easy to...

    USMC Rules for Gunfighting

    Alternate version: 1. Go to Sea 2. Bring a 16" diameter gun, or a set of 9 of them. Or 100 aircraft -- that works, too 3. Tell the Marines to relax, everything's under control 4. Drink coffee

    Do you like your cigars like you like your women?

    Well, I'm having a hard time believing that we're the only cheapskates on all of CP but, so far, the only ones willing to admit it seem to be: GWS3 Smokin' Tone Mickey MacAttack and me. Nick's not sure if he's a cheapskate or not, MtPasser just likes to watch the cheapskates, TXRedneck wants...

    Do you like your cigars like you like your women?

    Ooops. It may have been by my spam filter (sorry.) Please re-send with "cigar" or "pass" in the subject line. Thanks! (Newbies: please take a moment to familiarize yourself with "how to join your 1st pass." thread.)

    Do you like your cigars like you like your women?

    2 days, 2 passers. I think we might just squeak by the deadline... :0 Tone: "cigars you've enjoyed" -- if you can say with a straight face that you've enjoyed some of those owls of yours...

    Do you like your cigars like you like your women?

    That's 1! At this rate, we should just barely squeek in under the deadline ;)

    Do you like your cigars like you like your women?

    As I'm watching all these super-premium and fancy Cuban cigars being passed hither and yon, it occurs to me that there are some really great $1 smokes that are habitually ignored in the turmoil of trying to make "a really great play." So here's my idea for a pass: * Standard pass rules apply...

    The 'I'm home and need some fun' Pass

    Hey, those were my BEST dog rockets, man!

    The 'I'm home and need some fun' Pass

    Probably the insurance. I was supposed to insure it, right? It came insured, so I slapped on $300 worth on the way out. I think you have to sign for insured stuff. That's been my experience, anyway. ...Either that, or they want you to explain the sloshing noises and the protruding wires... :D

    "A day in the sun"

    <Misc bows, deeply> Thank you, thank you... Yes, that'd be me -- King of the Fast Turnaround -- as proven by DaveWF's fast-turnaround contest, which I won (see "it's in the bag" pass.) <sniff> I'm touched -- I didn't think anyone remembered... :p

    The I got a pass on the road...

    Hey, start somewhere else on the West coast -- I'm waiting for a couple of boxes of GOOD cigars to arrive, so I don't have to repeat my previous embarrassment :p Give me a few days for them to arrive :)

    Yeah, it's been great! A big thanks to everyone for playing. Loved the stories, even the sad ones.

    The 'I'm home and need some fun' Pass

    Oops. Add to those puts a Cohiba something or other (churchill sized) (ISOM) (Came out this morning, and there's this cuban cigar sitting on my kitchen table -- '"what the hell is THAT doing not in the box?!", I thought...) Ok, I'm taping this baby up and sending it back to Colorado Springs...

    The 'I'm home and need some fun' Pass

    Yeah, yeah... hey, it's not my fault if I'm ugly AND stupid! ;) Ok, anyway -- well, sorting through my sticks, I found that I'm running a tad low at the mid-high end (<sigh> note to newbies: good cheap cigars are cool, but don't over do it. Buy some good ones, too, for trading!) Anyway, after...
