Just to be sure there's no confusion, is the ".75" achieved by simply cutting one quarter of the cigar off, or by smoking it down to that point?

mc808, thanks for the info, that's super helpful.   Turkey bars?  Is that something I should bring my wife to?

I'm heading to Tokyo (and Kyoto) next week and am looking for recommendations on a lounge or two.  Naturally I checked The Google and came up with quite a few recommendations from the cigar gurus at Tripadvisor :rolleyes:  so I'm hoping a few of you may have some more insight into my best bet.  ...

Hmmm, this shit just got real.   I sure hope I'm still worthy when it gets here.  By the way, aren't we supposed to be submitting lessons, or something similar?

Put the My Father and the Don Carlos both back in the box, when it gets to me I'll smoke them both, do a review, and let everyone know if it was a fair P/T.

How about a 10 count box of Guantanamara Cristales?  :love:

12/4   But what's maybe even a better question is how long until this pass moves from Open to In progress?

Oh, you mean this shit is real?  OK, I'll play...       :sign:

If you're still thinking about KB's post, another option to maybe consider is a '15 Jeep GC Overland or Summit.  They're very nice and I was just recently at the dealer ready to pull the trigger on one when my wife decided she just didn't like something about it at the last minute.  But they're...

  Picked up a six pack of this in Berlin this past week, I just couldn't resist!

This is just fricken awful.  He is one of the few from here I actually met and enjoyed a cigar with, and we shared some other mutual interests beyond cigars.  I will miss him.

These are all great replies, both insightful and entertaining.  My neighbor next door suggested last night that we just get him in a closet and beat the s*#t out of 'em.  That option may be a bit extreme, but at least defines our frustration level.  I asked a buddy on the local police what...

Is this the thread for outcasts and lost souls?  Looks like I found the right place.

With the vast wealth of knowledge, wisdom and viewpoints I thought this would be a good place to get some perspective and calm my initial gut reaction.   My son came to me last night to let me know that the next door neighbor kid told him that another kid in our area, for anonymity sake we'll...

RIP Joe, there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, I'm glad to have met you and shared cigars with you on several occasions.

Pardon me for a brief interruption, does anyone have any suggestions of where to buy some good, premium coffee for a Keurig? My brother-in-law has one and he asked for coffee and whiskey this year.

While I think most of us would not consider how much extra we could sell a box for, because of it's age, I think this is an important question when considering value of a cigar during a Pass. The age and rarity very much play into the value of the cigar when trading in a pass, and is quite...

I thought about the Meat Manger, but my wife said absolutely not, I guess some of her religious relatives might find it a little tacky. In response I said, "That's what napkins are for" but she didn't laugh...
