received my prize today! thanks again, dev, you're too generous as always! i guess i skimmed quickly over the prize listing because i didn't realize i was getting 4 sticks. so, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! :D

hey, maybe that's why i didn't mind it so much....i remember i smoked it early in the day, even before i ate anything. maybe it would have been another story after a nice hearty bbq, huh?

right on! it's also good for clearing a view when people are standing in front of you.

i wonder? i don't want to drum up a debate on marrying flavors, but could it have been that rather than aging? seems like (to use opus as an example) when i put opus sticks in with other kinds, even with cello, the rest start to adopt the opus flavor and crappier sticks will start tasting...

hey now, is that going to make the little missus jealous? :D

were you there for the same training he's getting? what kind of training will he get? it can't be any worse than taking army basic training at fort sill oklahoma in august. who knew oklahoma was an extremely humid place in hot weather? i didn't. plus our barracks was leftover temporary...

i'll tell him, sd! i found out today he's in training in georgia for 9 weeks, then he goes to his assigned location. but he doesn't smoke, so i guess i'll have to be the one doing all that taste-testing!

hmm. they probably do improve with age, why not? it wasn't that i hate brazilian, i just wasn't overwhelmed by it initially. but bill, i have a question, what else was in your humidor with them?

nah, i didn't go there. i flew over it once going to jamaica, that's about as close as i got. i just said i'd like to know what they use for fertilizer down there. not that i wouldn't MIND going there.......

do you guys like the brazilian leaf? i tried the samba and some other brands with brazilian, leon jimenes maduros, etc. i just can't develop a taste it.

yeah man, i DO! hahaha and i hope it's organic and really smelly! lol but our luck, it'll probably be fine-grade Chernobyll-lizer.

mine was fresh from uptown cigar. they were probably keeping it next to their opus to beef up the flavor a little, hahaha.

great! so now you can go and enjoy your cigars properly! hehe so next time anyone gives you grief about the hazards of cigar smoking, you know what to tell them when they pick up that corn on the cob....

i tried the churchill a couple months ago. i hadn't had a non-isom in awhile, but i still liked it. just my .02 for what it's worth!

ya know, it wouldn't surprise me at all if radioactive foods/water/ingested products were the cause of the majority of cancers. they say alpha radiation is harmless externally but dangerous internally because there's no epidermal layer of dead skin to absorb the radioactive particles, and here...

shadow said it...living in america, there is no way you are going to avoid anything grown with this type of fertilizer, whether it's tobacco or vegetables, unless you shop at all-organic stores (but then what will you smoke?). why they pick on tobacco for this i don't know, because they're...

ok, so much for the time/date thing, i had to get off Tehran, Iran time.

yeah, it is faster. i have no problem with the blue either. looks like everyone is posting on July 7th tho, and it's still only July 6th

well, i tend to think american tobacco is probably the most heavily fertilized, so most likely the most contaminated. tobacco is really tough on the soil, so to farm the same land annually you'd have to use a whole lot of fertilizer without crop rotation. and i don't even know if commercial...

well, the big difference between now and clemens' time is that we use man-made fertilizers to grow tobacco. this stuff happens to be radioactive. i've known this for awhile, i grew up in a farming community right next to a nuclear power plant and our h.s. physics teacher used to love to tell...
